You were incredibly accurate with that prediction.

Cape and LI are very high for tomorrow and will rise throughtout the weekend.
Chances of heavy showers for all is high possibility with an increasing risk of Thunderstorms once again.All areas are at risk from friday (29th) morning onwards to Monday.

I seen that! I was on the way to the cinema in Kilkenny and seen it as I came over the R.Dinan bridge!

Seen lightning here in South Laois around 10-10.30pm also.

Some more on snowbie's detector over Waterford S.Kilkenny now, looks like a nice bit is on the way, should be interesting around 3am.

Some thunder in the middle of the night here and more showers delivering 12.1mm of rain and a peak rain rate of 52.1mm/hr
Thunderstorm number 8

The rain continues(It hasnt really stopped)
Total now 13mm and rising bringing the total from today and yesterday to almost 20mm.
An Inch seems likely.

I didn't see anymore after that. Was awake till 3.00.

More of them in the Irish Sea now.

Showers seem to be moving north and tilting westwards.
Nice easterly here at the moment.

They are getting some heavy TS in the UK today, the rain seems to be heading west from wales. Do you reckon we will see any TS in the east or more likely the south east.

There are a lot of land based small but heavy showers at the moment and some exstensive heavy showers in the Western Irish sea.
I think that Low pressure area is quite wide and moving away and filling slowly.
The implication being that the showers get weaker eventually but because of the widesness of that LP those showers in the Irish sea arent circulating as much as they could be,they are more slow moving.
Some of them may still fringe the East coast tonight and if you are under one you will be drenched!

Thunder is a possibility but less likey now I think.

Trogdor

Level 1 for tomorrow, best chances of TS during the morning/around midday

The season for storms is probably behind us now.

Please post here still if any TS or level warnings etc observed,encountered or other.

Possibly, going by snowbie's lightning detector. i'm not sure, but even though the jet stream should be pushing things north with a slight westerly element , i think there is actually a slight easterly element judging by this http://www.meteireann.ie/latest/rainfall_radar.asp?ani=y

Snowbie

Storm moving up the coast now,you will probably see it soon Trodor.

Mothman

Well inbetween, some rain, but no thunder/lightning

I've seen or heard nothing since my last post either.
In fact its gone eerilly quiet.
Just 2.3mm of rain counted (most of that came in short sharp bursts)with the rain rate down at a low 1,5mm/hr
