Convective/Thunderstorm Discussion: Autumn2022

Torrential rain here near Tralee, would be nice to get a bit of a light show, don't know if the storms off the coast could make it inland we will see.

Dan Holley said on Nov 1st 'Sadly, being a voluntary organisation, no time to issue convective forecasts at the moment but @TorroUK

have flagged the squally showers/thunderstorms today with potential for isolated tornadoes and large hail' , although did put out a forecast the next day.

Dan does post on his own twitter account https://twitter.com/danholley_ and presents on TORRO https://www.torro.org.uk/ and works for the BBC

Has some very good studies that can be found on Youtube if you haven't seen them like this one..... https://youtu.be/PNP0RJ7e6fo

So he seems to be getting busier all the time, would be a big loss if it doesn't continue.

Unstable airmass following the frontal passage overnight, heavy convective showers to follow from early morning more so along Atlantic coastal counties, thunderstorms and hail quite possible scattered along the coasts or a bit inland , some of the showers could produce locally strong blustery winds.

The second wave in the afternoon/ early evening and associated upper trough turning more negatively tilted with very cold uppers becoming quite unstable could produce a fair bit of activity along the SW, S and SE coasts and later over the Irish Sea. Possibly mostly over water but some might stray inland too. Big showers with hail at times and blustery if not squally along coastal areas.

Thunder in Tralee just now, huge showers earlier, delayed with flood on the way to work .

Big skies out there this morning.

Thunder near Tralee early this morning , out walking on the coast this afternoon and didn't go to far from the car watching the big clouds, some very heavy showers of rain and hail this afternoon but blows over fairly quickly.
