Possible flooding in Munster and Connaught Thursday
-
15-11-2011 10:31pm#1Met Éireann have this evening mentioned on both radio and their website the possibility of localised flooding in Munster on Thursday as a band of heavy rain affects the western and south of the country. Jean didn't mention it at 21:30 though.Updated: 15:56 Tuesday.
THURSDAY: Mainly dry during the morning and early afternoon with some sunny spells. Becoming rather windy though, with widespread rain pushing in from the Atlantic, heavy and persistent in the west and south. Risk of localised flooding over parts of Munster later. Highest temperatures 11 or 12 degrees, with fresh to strong and gusty southerly winds.
The GFS has up to 70 mm falling in the southwest up to Friday night, with around 40 of these falling during Thursday.
Hirlam 3-hr totals at 15Z Thursday.
One to watch.23

Actually a chance of spot flooding in the east and southeast today.
Wednesday 05:15.
Some dry spells in the morning, but generally cloudy, with patches of rain and drizzle becoming more widespread and persistent. The rain will turn quite heavy and possibly thundery in the east and southeast this afternoon and evening also, with a risk of some spot flooding. Top temperatures 10 to 13 C.0 -

There is a real prospect of spot flooding in the East of the country during the first part of tonight with a risk of embedded thunderstorms. Later in the night it will gradually clear.
Then further heavy rain coming in during tomorrow and tomorrow night. And then on Friday a belt of heavy rain will be hugging the west coast so some flooding definately likely at that stage.0 -

12.3mm in the past 2 hours in Valentia alone. We does be hardy bucks when a drop falls of a day in the west
The higher record rainfalls are usually recorded in Climatological Stations at altitude in the west ...eg in Cloosh forest near Oughterard not at Mace Head on the coast 20 miles SW.
So assume 20mm fell somewhere in the Magillicuddys or in Killarney climatological station if 12mm fell lower down on the coast and that the records will be set there once they get up there to collect the data.0 -

Amazing how few posts there are abouth the heavy rain in the South and West, if this was forecast for the East coast it would be ten pages long by now
:D:D
We are just used to getting weather here. That is not a boast, believe me.
9.5mm has fallen here in the past hour. Strongest gust 68kph in past half hour.
A soft day to be sure, to be sure.0 -
Was just thinking on the way to work this morning that it is a good job that the council have created runoffs for any floods along the road, this was after the last deluge, when roads became impassible in a very short period of time. Time will tell if it works! Come on rain guage...do your thing... 0

God, these types of posts are so tiresome at this stage.
I really hope the south and west don't get a hammering given the damage that was done a couple of weeks ago in the east.0 -

There was plenty damage in the weekend in the south/west prior to the floods in the east
Only media coverage about that was snowed under by the floods in Dublin
There were Landslides and numerous homes got damaged0 -

Small bit of 16mm/hr+ in the circled area on the radar. www.met.ie
Went for a quick drive to check out local roads.
Here is a video of one road(lane) I use to by-pass the town on occasion. This is after this mornings rain. Maybe I will re-visit if there is alot more to come.
It's a bit shaky!

The 9.15 image from the Original Radar page ( 32mm range)... IS that a 32mm echo just over east clare region OR are my eyes decieving me and its just the same one that you posted? :rolleyes:It'll be interesting to see Mullingar's and Ballyhaise's rainfall totals to 1200!
