Storm Barbara - 23rd December 2016

Jpmarn

There seams to be a few squall appearing on the rainfall radar. The Limerick area got hit by the first of them at 10.30am it looks like there be more heavy bursts of rain for the next hour or so. The afternoon shouldn't be to bad with the rain cleared off. The wind will be moderate only strengthening in or near showers to near gale force.

There must have been tornadoes in this squall line or at least the potential was there. You have the line echo wave pattern there.
