Attached: 3 images Without second-guessing what exactly Met Éireann may decide in the morning on potential warning upgrades, there is a chance that some counties could see their alert status raised based on tonight’s model output. Alongside the risk of pluvial and surface flooding overnight and into Tuesday morning, and the threat of coastal flooding in the south through to Thursday, current guidance indicates winds may gust in excess of 130 km/h over land on Tuesday.
Met Éireann has updated their #StormBram warnings, with status orange warnings across the 26 counties.

Stay safe out there, folks.
The dead-calm of this morning starting to lift in Dublin, as the Bohs flags at Phibsboro Shopping Centre are starting to flutter a bit..! 😬

Hang on. It's Gerry Murphy's LAST DAY with Met Éireann?? What? 😲
Jayses, lads, that wind's been a bit wild out here in Dublin. 😬
I hope everyone's keeping safe, I'd say it's scary in a lot of places.
103km/h in the Irish sea near the Isle of Man.
Graceless HippoIt's blown everything about here on the south coast. I've been lucky and could mostly stay indoors. Dog dunt like it.
@GracelessHippo Poor little pooch! And poor you guys. I hope there's nothing too serious, and Bram fecks off and leaves you be. 🤞🏼
And so say all of us!
Over There@oftencalledcathy Oh flippin hell. That's a pain in the whatsit, but hopefully no-one's injured.
@clickhere not that I heard TG
@oftencalledcathy Fingers crossed, defo.
Ricardo SeguradoThat's a classic ambush setup...
@RcrdSgrd @clickhere I’ll be wary out there
@RcrdSgrd @oftencalledcathy "Stand and deliver'l
Gezza@clickhere
Clucking Bell that looks rough. Stay safe.
Clucking Bell that looks rough. Stay safe.
@gezza Thank you! It's been rough here, all right, although I feel for those along the southern and western coasts getting a fair hammering.
HarriettMB@clickhere It’s weirdly calm and still here. I honestly thought the winds would have arrived by now. A lot of heavy rain last night, and no wind. It’s also warmer than anyone would expect for December. When this wind comes, I guess it will arrive with a bang.
@HarriettMB Yeah, it's been weirdly calm, and fierce mild here, too - even a bit of blue skies here just now!
It's all very pleasant, but I'm convinced that the storm is trying to lull us into a false sense of security..
IsabelRight now, where I am in Cork, I'm looking at gently waving trees and the rain has stopped...🤷♀️
@IsabelB Eek - maybe I'm just being hypervigilant, but that sounds both lovely and also a bit ominous. I hope the storm doesn't land too hard for you guys there!
Well, this was meant to be peak storm...
ME saying gusts of over 100kph.
Not seeing it! (yet?)
Not complaining! 😉
@IsabelB Definitely not - long may the calm weather last! 🤞🏼
Yeah, here in Dubland it's meant to peak from the next hour or two until after tea time (handy nebulous time ranges by me, there..), so I'm heading home from the office to batten down the hatches and work remotely. 😬
