ESTOFEX Warning LEVEL 1 issued for a possible funnel cloud/ short lived tornado tomorrow between Ireland and UK. Hopefully won't amount to anything.

I hope it does in a wide open space with plenty of people to witness it, take loads of pics and post them up here. The weather is safe once you are prepared and have a respect for it.

Yeah Conditions look favorable for some funnels but in the short lived cells as lack of DLS will cause them to die off quite quickly.


Up at 3am for darkness into light in the phoenix park. Hopefully ill still have energy 2moro to go somewhere if cells look good!

Dublin has a lot of potential for a thunderstorm today if you ask me but then again i'm no expert

DOCARCH

A few sparks showing uhttp://brunnur.vedur.is/athuganir/eldingar/i_dag_na.html?p now.

I'm assuming with my amateur research that this is because CAPE is mainly confined to the midlands and north for the rest of the night?

Hal1

Hmm, not sure if thunder or 747...

Trebor176

We just had a lengthy rumble of thunder in Clondalkin.

IvySlayer

Thunder in Lucan

IvySlayer

And again!!

Hal1

Ah well that confirms it aaand I just heard it there again. Distant, low rumbles.

Trebor176

Very heavy rain now, but no more thunder.

Video

A lot of lightning around hull in UK

Hal1

Suns out again hopefully this will aid convection and produce more TS.

phenomenalcat

Couple of rumbles in balbriggan now

Jpmarn

There is a couple of sparks showing up for the Meath area on netweather.tv.

highdef

Yeah, saw them but they don't seem to make sense for that area at that time. There was nothing very untoward looking in the area at the time

Hammer Archer

Definitely were sparks in the Meath area earlier.
Usually love the threat of thunderstorms. But when you're doing umpire at a football game, it's a bit of an uneasy feeling when you're standing next to what are basically 40 foot tall metal poles while watching Cbs get closer to you and hearing rumbles get louder.

Keep your eyes on the game at all times, never mind a bit of thunder

Skies clearing up a bit now and revealing the decaying cells... Next time! :rolleyes:

DOCARCH

Sunny here atm but starting to see some towering cumulus clouds...hoping for a bit of action later today.

highdef

Several strike to the north east of Athlone from a very potent looking shower. Lots of cell flying up now as we are at maximum solar radiation around now.

DOCARCH

Yeah...strikes showing up here. http://brunnur.vedur.is/athuganir/eldingar/i_dag_na.html?

Bit of a downpour here atm (south Dublin).

The amount of towering cumulus i've seen today is crazy.

Had a rumble or two there with a small but very ominous CB overhead.
