    Conflicting forecasts. AROME, a configuration of HARMONIE that MEs latest high res model is based off, is showing a quiet period from now until midnight, with a rapid development of cells in the greater Dublin area between midnight and 3am. Euro 4 also going for it.

    Normal Harmonie has nothing. WRF has nothing. Latest TAFs don't even show any more showers for Casement or Dublin. Wait and see I suppose.

    Kermit is not impressed either.

    Our revenge will come with a brutal easterly in December and all thunder snow on the northside. :cool:

    Theres an absolutely incredible looking sunset over Dublin right now if anyone has a view. Photos do it no justice on a smartphone im afraid.

    The Cell moving south over Dublin now didn’t leave one drop in D12, got a text off a friend in D16 who said it’s bucketing down. Amazingly localised

    Just looking out the back door at the Blackstairs.
    It's dropping rain atm. There's a bank of white cloud over the mountains.
    Then between me and the white low cloud and above that there's a wall of black cloud sucking up whisps of more black underneath it. It's like steam from a bath being pulled into this black cloud only its black steam and a constant renewing black cloud.
    Ah ye get the message it's cool and black! :p And the mountains are its origin with it moving then on to the south overhead.

    Thunder and lightning has stopped.
