    I can see the cloud tops from the Welsh storms from here in Arklow

    May the strength be with them as they progress west 😂

    Some huge cells all right and meeting converging winds now on the coast, will they have the legs to cross over ??

    AROME seems to think so and so does ICON Flash and the multi Hi Res models also pointing moving into the SE later perhaps .

    Could be hefty enough in the SE for a time if AROME-Pi is right, the most up to date nowcast HI Res model.

    They look like the classic Welsh imports we used get in the 80’s

    They can and do keep firing in Wexford and Wicklow when strong

    Unfortunately I’m on my way to the airport

    But rest assured there’s plenty lightning where I’m going 😩😂 it seems

    Big cell looks like it is en route for Dublin, planes will be flying around that.

    Pretty impressive cloud structure associated with that to my east (viewed from Greystones).

    Predictive charts from Netweather. Arriving East coast about 19.35 - 20.00, arriving WSE around 20.24, will see.

    A new cell has recently built up at the Northern end of the big cell, you can see it on the left on this live stream of Dublin port, looking east. It's not even reached anvil stage but is already sparking away.

    That’s the 12 mile Irish territorial waters line off the coast of Dublin

    By my reckoning,the storm is about 15 to 20 miles off shore now and closing

    This one should also hit Greystones

    I'm very surprised this has travelled as well as it has. More often than not, they cut out once over water. But this one hasn't, and as highdef has said, fresh convection is ongoing to the cells north. 🤞🤞

    It'll probably cut off at the mouth of Dublin Bay.

    Some convection visible just ahead of it, nothing major but there looks to be a shelf cloud also present.

    Ominous looking (from Greystones). Can't capture full extent even with wide angle. If were them boats I'd be sailing quickly back to harbour!

    What's left of those storms reaching Dublin/north Wicklow soon but I'd be impressed if there was any lightning at all left. Very rare for imports from across the Irish Sea to remain intact to that extent. Pity it wasn't dark for a bit of a light show.
