    Getting closer.

    I hope we don't get the usual idiocy on the motorway, every time a heavy downpour like this hits that's section of the M6 out of Galway there is a pile up.

    That active area off Wales is projected to move in over the SE later, will it still be active, good chance of being very active I would think as it moves into the convergence zone once it makes landfall and a lot of Deep layer Shear overhead aiding instability , band of heavy rain moving into the S in an hour or less, not sure how acitive it might become but there must be some chance, hope spookwoman gets some good pics.

    There was a big flash of lightning hitting off near my mums wheelie bins outside her house in Blackrock in Dublin at around lunchtime today. The time it happened would have been between 1:05pm & 1:10pm today.

    It frightened the life out of me.

    There have a few flashes of lightning that have come back within the last hour or so as we head into the later evening.

    Going to stick my kneck out and say it could get explosive later in over the SE and possiby moving up the country some bit, those storms are travelling at spped and can see the Low level shear that they will encounter when they reach land .

    Storm near Galway gathering momentum.

    Line of storms head into the SE next 2 hours, could be an epic show if intensity holds as they make landfall, somewhere is going to get flooding tonight
