The most powerful storm in almost 20 years is currently building up over the North Atlantic. During Friday the storm is expected to reach wind speeds of over 60 knots. Saturday it is expected to culminate with wind speeds up to 85 knots.
After the storm the expected strength could trigger waves up to 17 meters on Saturday, where air pressure can reach 923 millibars. The approaching storm is a record-breaking storm recorded in the North Atlantic. The so-called Braer Storm hit the North Atlantic on 10 January 1993 and sent the barometer down to 914 mb.
The storm is named after the tanker MV Braer which stranded at Shetland during a previous storm.
