Is there likely to be thunder with it when it hits here on Sunday/Monday ?

skipz

Risk of a few isolated thunderstorms for monday according to met, rather that then wind;)

DOCARCH

Rain showers moving in here from the Irish Sea atm. Some activity in them.

The movement of the showers is strange on met.ie radar. I guess because of the position of the 'storm' some of them seem to stall and rotate.
I was caught in one a while ago in Galway city with big hail mixed in and it didn't seem to be moving in any direction. It also lasted about 40 minutes.

An isolated strike around the Dublin area in the last while:

The risk continues tonight and more esp into tomorrow as a cool and unstable east to northeast becomes established bringing showers to eastern coastal areas.

Trogdor

Fairly intense shower here at the moment, 50.3mm/hr with some hail mixed in.

it's a little bit busy today: http://sproule.co.uk/weather/svlightning.html

What do ye think?

Rapidly deepening Atlantic storm will push an occluding frontal system across the British Isles overnight and through Wednesday. Strong ascent across northern parts of Ireland and N Ireland could lead to deeper convection here, with a risk of thunder. Wind gusts of 50-65mph possible, along with isolated tornadoes!!

Am I bovered?

Met E forecasting chance of thunder today and tomorrow.

Today: Cool and showery today. Good sunny spells this morning but some heavy showers as well. Widespread showers this afternoon and evening with some thundery downpours and local spot flooding. A cool day with patchy frost at first and highest temperatures only 6 to 9 degrees.

Tomorrow: The frost and fog will clear early on Sunday morning and most places will have a dry day with sunny spells but some thundery showers may develop locally. Rather cool with highest temperatures only 4 to 8 degrees Celsius in light breezes.

M.T. Cranium

Tuesday, mixed signals on different models, some chance of convective showers and gusty winds with late-arriving cold front.

ESTOFEX have thunderstorms for the western half of the country today.

Alway the west!:D

Su Campu

There have been some right crackers of Cbs off the west coast this afternoon, showing some lovely anvils on satellite. They are now encroaching eastwards, and Mace Head is reporting a heavy shower at 1800. They could cause a few flashes later this evening along the coast.

Danno

Few strikes on my detector too...

jimmynokia

so there is lightning about?

Danno

All of it off-shore. Unlikely to make landfall either. You can see the animation of the showers on www.sat24.com/gb

Storm 10

What about the shower approaching Galway at present anything likely from it.

weisses

about 10 good deep rumbles and some forked lightning to our north (15km)

not really active but nice to watch

Su Campu

It looks impressive on the radar, a proper linear structure is forming and could give more areas an interesting night...

I see the Isle of a Man is getting a good few sparks today.

redsteveireland

Met Eireann have increasing risk of thunderstorms today. Nothing on Estofex or meteoalarm though?
