    There was never a question about the met Eireann forecast for the northwest
    Indeed we all said it here too
    But they completely ignored yesterday what's coming up from the south when the Beeb had it all day yesterday and certainly yesterday ignored the risk in the east overnight

    Now if you can't get it right the day before when your nearest neighbour does with no remit,there's something wrong To be fair

    It's easy for me to be wrong but them?
    Let's see

    Sky's starting to get darker west of here and what looks like a bit of convection bubbling up in the distance.

    Euro4 has those all up the east coast around midnight onwards :) And going by the cloudscape here at the moment I'd say we're on target so far :D
