    Seems to be a nice organised line of showers moving eastwards across the midlands.

    It doesn't. If you can put 'Storm Chasers' out of your mind and try not to compare them, it's real people doing their own thing in their free time.

    BTW, when the show first aired, 'Storm Chasers' had only run it's second series and many thought 'Tornado Road' was better offering. :)

    It was implied in your post. And TBH, I think most people tend to compare anyway. IMO it's still worth watching. :)

    Is there anybody in Mayo at the moment, things seem to be really kicking off up there now.

    EDIT: Some scattered strong convective development in a number of locations around the country at the moment.

    Well sat24 is satellite imagery, good for seeing cloud especially for stuuff out of range of the radar or for seeing vertical development of storms or showers. The new radar has greatly improved since first launched.

    11.1mm reported at Knock between 5pm and 6pm.

    Drips of pointless rain here with a nice layer of pale stratus blocking my view of these showers :mad:
