Jake would seem to be a patch of marginally tight isobars over a small
part of Ireland tonight, might remove a slate off a roof somewhere I

Yesterday the MetO were forecasting wind speeds at noon tomorrow to be 38mph, with gusts to 61mph, with no weather warning.

They have now introduced a wind weather warning, but have reduced the forecast wind speeds to 31mph & 55mph respectively. Lets hope the forecast wind speed doesn't reduce any further or we'll really be in trouble.
