Sky to the east is pitch black 😱 everything went west of us initially and now east. This has happened most days. Strange

Some more impressive looking cells in parts of the country now as the next couple of hours look like having the best conditions for development.

Looking at Raintoday, that must be the cell heading towards Dunshaughlin as it keeps growing. We have a weaker one near us in Ashbourne.

Just chased that cell over North Kildare for a bit before heading home. Great forks from it (camera didn't catch them). It's still rumbling away in the distance.
