    So Thunderstorm warning issued for Cork, Limerick and Clare from 3pm to 8pm. AND I just remembered - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN is playing in Pairc Ui Caoimh this evening starting at 7pm ( no support ).

    I wonder could this concert get deferred to later start / cancelled? Thunderstorms, Electrics????

    Even with the warning, the chances of a thunderstorm being directly overhead at 7pm is very low. A yellow warning is only a take notice. At worst a big downpour with a flash or two.

    No need to jump the gun!

    What are the chances for hail?

    If any, where is it mostly going to happen?

    Some decent convection building now in many inland areas. Showers should become visible on radar soon. I'd say there'll be some biggies around.

    I reckon there could be some hail in the heavier showers today. As to where, wherever the heaviest showers are.

    I am west Co Wexford. Very dark west of me, with some nice buildups. A few rumbles seem to be from Mullinavat area, towards Waterford.

    The CBs seem to be staying just inside that eastern border of the latest Yellow warning..😋

    Really nice cell over north athlone at the minute. Firing every minute or so. Rain is pelting down, big hail too. I'm parked at the Hodson bay at the minute and it's right over head

    2 absolutely massive cloud to ground strikes near Lecarrow, north of athlone. Wish I wasn't driving for them and could have recorded. And the sound of them....

    Looks like avoiding the city and staying out West!! Very little reports, I'd say it must be mainly high up lightning or else nobody in West Cork follows weather on here!!
