Convective/Thunderstorm Discussion : 2019 and Winter 2020

Small active cell passing over Athenry now. Very long rumbles of thunder and some heavy hail.

And there goes another one a little further south with more long rumbles.

Aglomerado

Thunder and lightning followed by hail just now. East Clare. Sounded like it was directly overhead.
Edit: another boom. Sounds like it's moving south towards Limerick. It must be the same cell that was over Athenry.

Moderate sleet with a bit of hail and a few flakes of wet snow thrown in for good measure in North Kildare. Very convective gusts as well.

Just had a hail shower followed by some thunder and lightning in cork city

Very loud peal of thunder in Cork City a few mins ago.

highdef

Very interesting looking narrow curved line of intense convection currently stretching from South Galway to North West Kerry, producing quite a bit of lightning, mainly over county Clare.

I recall a poster saying they were in Ennis so might get reports on it soon.

Big active shower heading for the Kerry Coast.

Just had an angry earth shaker here.

Some nice forked lightning just now over east Clare, followed by some raging hail.

There have been a few seriously heavy hail showers in Cork involving very large hailstones

As an example, here's someone's Twitter post in Cork City https://twitter.com/dynamitecork/status/1229042411155918849?s=20

That's like a scene from tornado alley in the Mid-West US.

It's a hail shower lads.

Some People obviously don't remember some Big Thunderstorms in the 80'8 90's that flattened crops in fields.

Or some afternoon thunder showers in the Summers of years gone by.

Great video but it's not something we don't see on numerous occasions every year.

Heard that, was a fine bang.

It was a real window shaker at that hour of the morning 5am, thought the roof was gone there was heavy hail with it as well.

Meteorite58

Some hail and lightning about today.

Meteorite58

Cold air aloft after the front goes through tomorrow with reasonable lapse rates over the relatively mild SST's, looks like a chance of convection getting going and among the wintry showers to follow in the morning could be some sporadic hail and thundery showers more so in the W, NW, N from early morning where the coolest pool of upper air will be. Windy on the coasts in a brisk and sometimes gusty W/ly which will bring wintry and some hail showers well inland.

Interesting discussion from TORRO with a Tornado Watch .

Will see if there is some kind of line convection crossing the country during the early hours and going through the E around the time of the early morning commute.
