Typo or to use a bushism,they've misunderestimated some hail.

Meanwhile here,the rain hasnt arrived yet (apart from a little drizzle in the wind) but the wind sure has-gusting to 34mph south/southwest.

Though I wouldnt class that windy compared to last friday night and it might be a russtling of the leaves in comparison to whats possible on sunday night-monday.

Rain just started here in the past 10 mins too. Again a 2-3 minute intense burst followed by ligh drizzle. 0.8mm so far but my readings are a bit off for rain I'm starting to notice.

Snowbie

Gust to 28mph
Temp down to 5.6c from 9.8c in 20mins
Not much rain yet but a max rate of 17mm/hr from what has been recorded

Lashing rain here with a temp of 3.8 c and a dp of 2.2c,I'd say conditions are interesting up at the top of croghan mountain or certainly on lugnaquilla at the moment.
The temp is falling as I type.

Weather BOFH

Just stopped raining here not too long ago, total of 4.7mm fell.

Temp down to 2.9C now with a DP of 1.9C and still falling.

Unholy downpour from what was a blue sky 10 minutes ago in Dundalk right now...lots of yellow and red blips on the doppler. Been feeling cold in a blusterly NW all morning...

Supercell

Scarr as covered in snow this morning, would estimate the snowline was around 300 metres. Interestingly the further north I went the higher that line got.
Wish I'd brought a camera with me - the red morning sunlight on the snow was pretty nice.
Cool this evening with light showers , current temp 6.2°C

Paddy.1

Impressive squall passing through, really gusty winds and torrential thundery rain. Sky is jet black. Temp 9.1c and pressure 991.7 mb. Will be interesting to see how this cold front progresses as it moves east this morning.

Radar at 8.30am, Looks like it's sustaining strength as it passes over land:

Been having some torrential bursts of rain here for last 20 mins. 8.2c

It seems to have a bearing down on me here Paddy now.
Winds are very gusty and i can see the leading edge of the front.

Air 12.5c
Wind southerly gusting to 30mph

Looking out the apt windown and a couple of planes have aborted their landing right at the last few seconds. Listening to ATC now and they are saying winds are gusting to 43 knots. Also there is quite severe shear. Some planes are delaying take-off. Looks set to get very rough here shortly. Very black cloud getting close now.
