That kind of turquoise line is 70mm is it?

The colour code goes up in 5 mm increments so anything blue is => 10 mm over a 6 hour period. The darkest blues are for 20 mm + over the same time frame.

Still not a drop here yet.

Just for fun, a little spot of 200mm has appeared over high ground in Mayo on the 18Z WRF. That would be quite a lot of rain in 36 hours. I think the model is overdoing it a bit.

Going by the summer we had in Mayo it would not be surprising

Probably will be tomorrow evening before the rain reaches the east.

If you have 46 already then I wouldn't be surprised if you end around 100 by tomorrow morning.

Has rained all night here. Some very heavy bursts. Haven't been out yet so cannot comment on local flooding. It depends on which roads you will be traveling on.

It is. The front currently lying off the west coast is being prevented from making its more usual quick exit eastwards by a strong anticyclone to the east. When such as set up exists, you can get waves forming along the front which more or less 'stagnate' it over a region for many hours.



One such wave is forecast to develop later this afternoon and it is this that could bring the heaviest spell of rain as it pushes north up over the country this eve. Will really be a nowcast situation if it does develop I think.

'Rain will become heavy and widespread in the afternoon' RTE weather after 10 o'clock news! Have they bothered to look at the rainfall radar? Half of the country have had heavy and widespread rain for the past 12+ hours http://www.met.ie/latest/rainfall_radar.asp

I replied to you above. Have been out locally and there is a lot of surface water on the roads and it is still bucketing down. As I said before it depends what roads you are traveling on.

East Waterford - dull but dry bar the odd spit. That said the radar suggests it'll be here any minute.

Thanks Roisin.

Tralee: 28mm since midnight, 52mm event.

For the east coasters the Dublin Airport TAF is forecasting rain starting somewhere around 14:00 - 16:00 but with a lot of uncertainty about the specifics, basically a nowcast event here.
