They (the Met Office) seem to have distanced themselves from it.

Louise Lear mentioned it on the 18:30 BBC1 forecast.

but when she did, she said that it was named by Met Éireann and not them...

Well there it is now offically named in the Met Eireann forecast for tonight...

"Storm Jake will feed down a core of strong to gale force winds westerly overland tonight - stormy infact for coastal areas of the west and southwest. Organised bands of heavy showers moving down in the flow too, merging to longer spells of rain, sleet and snow - all with the added risk of thunder. Snow accumulations are likely, especially later in the night for the northern half of the country, as well as for higher ground elsewhere. Cold, with lowest temperatures of -1 to +2 degrees Celsius, risk of frost and ice too."

Thunder and lightning reported around south Mayo. Doesn't seem especially windy outside at the moment with gusts 23mph Shannon and 20mph Dublin.

Meanwhile Donegal location gusting 33knots...38mph.
