    Just seen this on the Met website:
    3 Day Outlook

    Apart from perhaps a few showers, Thursday night will start off dry. However heavy or thundery rain will spread from the south across Munster and Leinster overnight and become widespread on Friday. Leinster, Munster and east Ulster will get the largest amounts of rain, with over 25 mm likely in places and a risk of flooding. Winds will be fresh to strong northeasterly and temperatures will reach the mid to high teens. The rain will clear eastwards through Friday night and Saturday. Winds will become northerly and continue fresh to strong. While much of the western half of the country will be mostly dry on Sunday, there's possibility that further falls of rain will return to east Munster, Leinster and east Ulster. Winds will be lighter. Temperatures over the weekend will range from the mid to high teens.

    Any thoughts? Could this be another washout?

    Anyone know if there's a high tide this week ?
    The worst possible scenario for Cork with a gale force Easterly holding up the tide.
    All of Cork's worst floods came from this kind of setup
    Coupled with projected very heavy rain I would think that flooding is very likely for the South Coast

    Just checked tides and they are high all this week
    My prediction "chaos for Cork" by Friday night
