Very impressive tornado in east Galway half hour ago, I'm a farmer so seen few in my time but this was biggest I've seen, sorry pic isn't great, had to climb to get over trees which delayed me

Picture isn't conclusive but the radar image at the time would suggest it a definite possibility.

What was your exact location?

babybrian

I know it had moved away from me before got a chance to get a good picture. Im in offaly, just where offaly touches Galway and tipp, but it was across the river in Meelick

Very likely, just not here, we're on the fringe, obviously isolated rolling incidents are possible. We've expired our level two warning and our level one expires at 03:00.

Imagine waking up to seeing this coming at ya !?

Looks to be heading our way should be a interesting evening on the east coast.

Probably the next 3 or 4 hours more than the evening, for the east coast anyway.

Was very light fluffy rain though not what you would expect with thunder although humid. All settled now.

Squally showers making their way across the country atm.

Iancar29

Some surprisingly late season setup for saturday .

With broad steepening lapse rates and CAPE feeding in from Saturday morning .

Some sharp thundery showers can be expected.




More info later when hi res comes into view

Things just got interesting across the midlands, http://brunnur.vedur.is/athuganir/eldingar/i_dag_na.html?

Estofex :

An E-Atlantic low advects a modified subtropical air mass far north. Meager lapse rates but modest SBCAPE should result in isolated to scattered storms from Portugal to Ireland. Heavy rain will be the main hazard with elevated clusters. Any surface based storm would also pose a strong wind gust risk (e.g. S-Ireland and W-Portugal).

Just a quick post from myself as im heading out.

some sparodic lightning possible during the night and then 2moro too mainly in the S where best convection will take place . Some low level shear will also be present and giving the low cloud level , some spouts or a possible weak tornado is possible. A repeat of the galway tornado anyone? ...

Eyes and cameras on alert 2moro

maquiladora

Estofex putting a 50% risk area over southern coastal counties for tomorrow.

Yip. http://andvari.vedur.is/athuganir/eldingar/i_dag_na.html

Also looks like a few sharp showers or cells developing on the north side of that area of rain...Killkenny area.

maquiladora

A few heavy showers this morning. Any thundery activity over land will probably be confined close to the coast.

pad199207

Recent Strike near Birr

redsteveireland

Rainbow on the back of that heavy shower that passed over Galway.

Penname

Really livening up off the South coast. Wonder will the clear skies in front help with convection and keep them firing over land.

Holy sh*t just had the biggest flash and loudest bang of thunder over Tramore Co.Waterford right now, was like a hurricane with the wind and rain. The road is now flooded outside my house in the space of 5 mins holy sheet.
