Chance of tstorms tonight?

A steepening lapse rates in the cold sector behind the frontal boundary will locally increase CAPE up to few hundredths of J/kg over the marine areas. Thus, an increased lightning potential during the nighttime hours will fall on the Bay of Biscay and waters on the W side of the Ireland where an isolated convection will develop

Where do you live? It is important do report your approximate location when reporting weather conditions you may be experiencing.

Very short period of heavy, large hailstones with alot of wind, always the sign of a nice squall. No thunderstorm activity though, although it's possible.

Location: West Clare

If you've got thunder, its a pretty safe bet there was lightning :-)

Red King

Two big rumbles and flash of lightning in Limerick City in the past ten minutes or so.

Quite a gap between the two though so it appears to be over the estuary/shannon direction could be wrong on that though

I see power out near Athenry also, reports of thunder in East Galway.

I was in Glasnevin cemetery about an hour ago. There was a brief but intense hail shower that lasted about 5 minutes. Even the squirrels were running for cover!
