met eireann have taken down their yellow weather advisory for tomorrow night/sunday for potential heavy rain in the south and east ... im assuming that means the models must be in agreement about the system staying to our south and heading into the english channel :rolleyes:

Seems to be still up there. Attached.

That's the APP, not sure of the update on that, it's not instant at any rate.

I expect 25mm of rain in Cork overnight with little wind.

Low seems to be headed further south again on latest GFS. Heaviest rain stays just off coast.

maquiladora

Nothing set in stone yet, 06Z HIRLAM now showing less intense rainfall but over a wider area.

howlinwolf

we've had some intense rainfall over the last 2 weeks on and off especially over munster and leinster giving localized flooding, at the moment I don't see this system being and worse unless it stalls over Ireland and the u.k which seems very unlikely ...does anybody know how fast the system is travelling, it is slow moving or fast.

Its being downgraded by degrees - it now looks like it'll be worth a couple of hours of heavy rain at most for most of us who are under its path.

Take it with a big pinch of salt because each model and each individual run has been different, but the latest HIRLAM is showing ~75mm of rain over Cork by noon tomorrow.

I'm sticking with my 25mm prediction, but looking out the window at the mist ....... up to Wednesday I was expecting about 80mm.

The rain is set in in cork city anyway.

Not often you see this chart getting maxed out. A hell of a lot of moisture associated with ex-Bertha due to her tropical past compared to more typical lows.
The exact track will determine whether the torrential stuff stays off the coast or goes far enough north to inundate southern coastal areas.

here's the radar from 9pm

Cork Lass

Torrential rain now in Rochestown. Some thunder and lightening would be the icing on the cake.

mickger844posts

Moderate rain here since about 8pm delivering a total of 11.2mm. Radar watching seems to suggest heavier stuff is on the way.

Super-Rush

Drove home around 2 and it was very heavy out there. Lots of surface water almost everywhere.

Been pissing down in Dundalk since about 6 yesterday evening. Pretty sure that was too early for this system but it hasn't stopped since. There was a good inch and a half in the evening from 6 til 8 and it hasn't stopped since. Glad I live next to the sea. :P

Just stopped in Sth. Dublin.
