Once the storm front passes southwest tip of Wales and begins to draw in more unstable air over western England, transporting that across the Welsh mountains, it should induce a wave effect that will stimulate uplift on the east side of the Wicklow Mountains. I am timing that for about 0230-0400h. This is when I think the complex will reach its most intense phase.

More scattered cells further west will probably pulse in phase with that development. Unstable air located over central Ireland after today's heating will then be energized and the entire complex should have about a 3-6 hour life cycle over land before becoming de-energized by mostly the opposite set of conditions, stable air flowing in, downsloping etc.

Thus I would suggest anyone thinking of staying up to watch this unfold, be patient, it may be closer to 0300-0400h before it gets really active.

Dublin timing is about 0500-0700h. Something like a 50-50 chance that it remains very active past that point. Someone asked about Dundalk, could see some action there around 0900h, might be in a declining phase by then.

Thanks MT. HOw about Clare/Galway Bay? I can see high level cloud building up to the south now but know we'll probably miss what's over Dingle right now. Are we in a more variable zone?
