    Heavy showers have just developed off the Louth coast and are moving a direct south.Might just clip here but looks like coastal wicklow/wexford is a threat from this.

    Pic of that shower cloud/system posted in the snow thread on weather pics...it's got even bigger and better defined since I snapped it earlier...

    Just heard thunder from distant north.

    There are anvils all round me almost touching each other.

    the hailstones have just gotten bigger and bigger over the weekend i never seen them so big. and little to no rain mixed in too.

    Recorded a few strikes just offshore in that lump. Massive CB's, anvils are obscuring the sky.
    Wind is coming from the east with the downdrafts just offshore blowing in.

    Will this come near wexford?? And if it does what will it bring?

    Interesting report on aaroadwatch.ie :-
    *MAIN TRAFFIC* *M4/KILDARE* Poor driving conditions on the M4 between J2 Leixlip East and J3 Maynooth and in the surrounding area following recent snowfall. Gardai have reported a number of crashes as a result. Motorists are advised to slow down.

    Any boards members around that area with reports?

    I can see them as well, just about a mile to my east. Gone very dark, should start lashing any second now...

    Showers are side swiping me both west and east. No more lightning captured. Was going to take a trip out to Howth to see some sparks over the sea but no point now:(.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,620 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    Light rain here currently, hopfully will become more interesting as the precip gets heavier.
    Arctictree whats it like over there?

    The radar images are a bit like early this morning though its not as cold, showers seem to be beefing up a bit as they hit the mountains.
    Probably going to be the last of the precip for a while once they pass, frosty night in store I reckon.

    Lashing rain/sleet here, temp dropping. (3.3c ATM). Wouldn't it be perfect if we got a snow covering and the temp plummeted as the skies cleared?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭Snowbie


    Showing up as sleet atm over the mtns.

    Very sleety here, small difference in elevation makes massive difference in sleet/snow, i'd say the mountains could get a nice covering just from this shower.

    Caught these two flat irons glowing pink in the dusk while I was out at the shops...they correspond to the echo on the 8pm doppler directly E of Drogheda/NE of Howth.

    Didn't so much as rain here all day...I'm not complaining but watching those towers build and then head off in the other direction was a bit of a let down, especially if they were making some fireworks...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,620 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    Sleet shower here again , rr 4.2mm/hr. Current temp 2.3°C DP 0.9°C

    Nice knowing ya winter 08!

    Again spot on, just north east of here. Could see the pinkish anvil through some lower altostratus clouds before obscured again but you captured another good snap.

    Went for a walk to get a better view of this moving south.

    Was quite a loud clap at 18:46 and then a more distant one about 10 minutes later. I was quite surprised not to hear more.

    I stayed out watching the leading edge move south off shore.

    Got hail briefly and then just rain, despite temperature down to 2C

    Pics still in camera. I'll download and see what they're like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,082 ✭✭✭lostexpectation


    some gossip of a person's house in portmarnock getting hit by lightning yesterday evening >hole in roof > night in hotel


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,913 ✭✭✭Danno


    Does that household have a member who posts here quite a bit?

    Hopefully nothing too serious.

    Very quiet on this forum tonight.
