Convective/Thunderstorm Discussion - Winter 2022/23

Large shower field convective in nature moving towards Ireland associated with the area of LP off the W, NW tomorrow and Sunday , most active along coastal counties but some moving inland also, heavy showers and some of hail and possibly some isolated thunderstorms, again mostly over water I would think but will see if some move inland over the weekend.

Very cold upper airmass, lapse rates good and very good on Sunday with loads of Low and deep level shear, could hear of a funnel sighting perhaps.

Just going to say Oscar that there are some very cold high tops to those clouds, will produce big hail showers Id say and big downdraughts, , getting dark here and quite gusty. Fairly active storm moving inland like the Storm in Galway. Will it push into Clare ??

Big flash and bang in the house a few minutes ago.

EDIT: additional content.

Short sharp nasty little storm went through here, I see outages nearby and a CG not far from me probably related to the phone line being blown out. Saw a fire engine with its light on passing by a short time ago, maybe related to the lightning?

Lightning: Cloud to cloud, Power: 80kA (Angry rourer), Date: 01/07/2023, Time: 02:21:58pm

Thunder and lightning during the night here near Tralee and opened the front door just passed 08.00 to be met with wild gusty rain and hail shower and a big flash of lightning from the coast.

Home destroyed by lightning in Kerry late last Saturday night /early Sunday morning. Also heard of lots of houses having similar damage to phone lines and sockets as I did in nearby villages here near Tralee last Saturday afternoon . Had an active storm go over here today around 10.00, a lot of lightning and huge gusts and heaps of hail gathering up the side of the house. power outages reported also.

From today.
