    The Kerry County Mountains are throwing up a bit of cloud. Pressure is probably a bit too high for any showers to form though and the southwesterly upper airflow seems to be pushing them up towards the Shannon estuary.

    ECM still showing possibility of thunderstorms along the front line from tomorrow afternoon/ evening that gets stalled just off Atlantic coasts or it might stray just on to the coasts late Fri into Sat morning.

    Other models showing very little evidence of this but the ECM has shown consistently where the front stalls in an area of convergence with warm air being drawn off the land into the moisture laden front ( if somewhat weak). The parameters seem to stack up being over relatively cool SST's ,good levels of LLS and decent levels of DLS and lapse rates good. Dont know if this will happen as it suggests as very little evidence of it in the other models but when the ECM is showing potential it usually quite a good guide. Was thinking if it does come to pass as being shown then tomorrow night might be good for taking shots out along the coast . No mention on Met Eireann, will see if convective weather comes out with anything.

    might be a case of watching lightning from the west coast tomorrow and Saturday, otherwise most of the country looks bone dry for the next 5 to 7 days.

    The convective weather people have picked this up too but list the probability as low

    Well, I will see this out to see what happens one way or the other :) . ECM still showing lightning potential Up along Atlantic coasts from later this evening into early Sat morning although very much on its own with this but it hasen't let up for days on the potential. Now it doesn't look like anything major but purely as an interest to see if it is correct. Would imagine they would be high elevated storms if they did happen. In it's favor is plenty of shear from lower and upper levels. CAPE not great ???

    The aviation charts have no convective activity associated with that frontal zone. Just some mist and light rain.

    Maybe some sferics around Clifdon and some well off the NW but nothing else showing up. Must have a look at the maps closer later. ECM overdoing the lightning potential so much out on its own this time with this set up, good to note. Really do need a few models on board for some accuracy.

    Looking at the radar and there convection bubbling in the Irish sea might be worth keeping an eye on as the heat build's during the day, maybe a potential of some sparks later on the east coast

    Thats just false radar returns - there is no cloud over the Irish sea: https://en.sat24.com/en/gb/visual

    Perhaps a shower to break out across the Midwest? Clouds building here and drifting WSW...

    A little more convective cloud forming today.

    Any chance of a few rumbles this evening?

    Came on ro ask the same myself. Clouds looking ominous and its very warm in Terenure


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,742 ✭✭✭appledrop


    Surely there has to be thunder in Dublin this evening. It was 25 degrees today + we have just had a heavy rain show here + temperatures will drop by 10 degrees by morning.

    Is that not that's perfect thunder weather?

    Touch of undulatus over Waterford a few mins ago

    Saw this cloud formation south/south east of Slane this evening at abput 7.50pm. Didnt produce anything, but would love to know what cloud formation it is.

    Called an anvil cumulonimbus thunderstorm cloud I believe

    Some word lightning in Toronto last night. Non stop fireworks. It looked like an alien invasion.

    Some recent strikes around the Enniskillen area. Very heavy showers about ,passing fairly quicky though with the breeze.
