Winter storm barreling toward the UK is possibly the strongest ever for North Atlantic
A powerful winter storm system — possibly rivaling the strongest ever in the North Atlantic — was pushing toward the Irish coast Saturday as Storm Dennis began to merge with another off Iceland, taking aim at the United Kingdom and the European mainland with likely wind gusts up to 85 mph.
Storm Dennis, named by the U.K.'s national meteorological service, was moving along a more southern track and was one part of storm system that also roared across Greenland and began pounding Iceland on Friday.
Hurricane-force winds of up to 98 mph and monster waves that could reach over 100 feet high were already roaring across the North Atlantic on Saturday, the U.S. National Weather Service’s Ocean Prediction Center said.
Alan Reppert, senior meteorologist withe Accuweather.com, said Dennis will be a "very intense storm" likely to slam the coastal areas of Ireland, the U.K., along with France and Northern Germany with wind gusts up to 85 mph.
