Nice for storms? - yup:)

Shower activity should be more intense and widespread tomorrow.

Snowbie

If the cape runs at 1000kj/ or above 100% storms develop here.
Now at present its for 500kj + which is great too.
LI is negative which gives potential for storms to spawn above us.
It be interesting if these figures still remain after next update.

Danno

Wonder if anything will happen tonight???

Well things in our favour. Temps will be higher tomorrow and pressure will drop below the crucial 1015hpa mark which should spawn something somewhere, hopefully here:D

Snowbie

No Danno nothing will materialise tonight.

Cant believe that happened it came out of nowhere.
I was in the living room watching TV and noticed it geting windy and then all of a sudden the heavens opened.

Easing off now down to 2.5mm/hr

Snowbie

Talk about gettin a direct hit,right if that is showin up there like that,the air is rapidly destabilising down south east over sea.
Maybe a long night ahead again,when all is lost.......

Yup,

Earthman was it only one rumble?

Good strong gusty breeze from the north here a direction my anemometer is sheltered from though its getting a gust of 15mph at ground level you can add a good bit onto that as I can hear it howling a bit.The rain stopped about 5 mins ago,the peak was only for a few mins and the total only amounted to 2.3mm

Doesnt sound like a whole lot but it came down in like 15 minutes.

Looking at met Éireanns radar I can see where the pink speck that cause it and its very isolated from the stuff further south that gave the thunder over Rosslare.

This is both mad and interesting.

I only heard one yes.

Danno

If you look at the animation mode radar, then the showers are building over Wexford...

Snowbie

Watch this if it develops further,could head to you Danno.

Danno

They seem to be coming my way allright. Hope they are here soon as I want to go to bed.

Snowbie

A blip just formed east of Dublin now.Well 20 miles east.

Danno
