The Southern end of that squall line looks as if its almost stalled around Single / Brandon area of Kerry.

Almost looks like its going to rotate clockwise round the pinned souther end if you play the sequence...

Very wild in cork city at the mo!

That's pretty much what I was thinking.
Interesting. That'll dump an amount of rain over a limited area.

Just hit 90.7 km/h gust at my Station making second worst winds of the season here

Looks like the squall has lost all its power just as it hit my house in west clare. It's not noticeably heavier or windier.

looks to be weakening a little as it approaches me thankfully

Met Eireann's aviation chart for 00Z has the cold front lying from Malin Head to Waterford and moving northeastwards at 30 knots.
Associated weather is light rain, occasionally moderate, with localised heavy bursts. Clear in the western third of the country.

A trough moves towards the southwest coast at 20 knots and has locally moderate rain/hails showers with isolated heavy rain showes/thunderstorms.

Last update shows a weaker squall line..

Gust of 51 knots at Casement at 9 pm. Very wild out here alright.

Amazing to see it "fizzle" out around the Southern end.
