    According to the GFS there should be thundery or heavy showers in the Eastern half of the country tonight. Be interesting to see if that happens. Meanwhile it looks as though temperatures may be down slightly on yesterday.
    There seems to be convection building over the celtic and isles of scilly that may threaten the SE later if it moves north.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,506 ✭✭✭SpitfireIV


    Any sign of thunder activity about today? Its fierce heavy and gloomy here and the lights have dimmed a little a couple of times.

    Not to mention a pain in my head :rolleyes:

    Thats a good convergence zone.
    In fact its one of the best.Even a gentle southerly summer breeze in a good setup for storms is where i used to head.

    Tonight could be interesting for Irish sea coasts. Watch out for possible development in the Irish sea shortly of the Southwest tip of Wales as some instability reaches our shores.

    Theres a fair chance of heavy showers overnight in the East/south east and munster alright.
    Thunder is a possibility.
    They'll be around tomorrow too on a hit and miss basis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭Snowbie


    Detector will be left on.If anything crops up i'll sure let you's know.Brittany has been blitzed for the last 24hrs.Still going on there now too.1-2 strikes per min which is low enough but persistent.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,632 ✭✭✭darkman2


    The detector may come in handy. Some development now in the South Irish Sea or Celtic Sea. Some showers cropping up. Nothing to get excited about but yet but they are heading for the South Coast.

    Yep just seen them and have exploded into life quickly.No sferics as yet from them but built up outa nowhere.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,632 ✭✭✭darkman2


    ATM Im not expecting much. They may just die out. Next radar image will probrably be the story of the night. That storm over Northern France has been going on all day:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭Snowbie


    Has dissipated now.All gone quiet everywhere.Looks intense with radar image but is dead now in terms of lightning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭Snowbie


    N wales has rain being detected on radar aswell as one lightning strike from it.????

    http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/index.html


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,246 ✭✭✭rc28


    There are some intense radar echoes sown in the far south east atm. It is definitely developing too.

    Rosslare reporting Thunderstorm at 06z (7am)


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    yes
    I can hear thunder here but no rain.
    I heard the first bang around 645am.
    The sky is very carved and black in the Gorey direction.

    Im in Waterford and heard that very loud bang too. I thought a bomb went off or something :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,362 ✭✭✭Trotter


    I'm in Waterford too. I woke up to a massive unmerciful bang that shook the house! I have NEVER heard thunder like it before. It wasnt really a rumble here, just one loud deep bang.

    Surely that was out of the ordinary!?

    well at least your all awake nice n early :)
    It often gets that loud down this way, I don't think its extraordinary but yep was bed shaking stuff.

    Jesus I'm here 26 years and I never considered new underpants like I did this morning!! I'd call that extraordinary!! :D

    Seems from the Waterford forum that it was centred pretty much over my house so thats maybe why it was as intensely loud around here.

    There are some cb's building over the south wicklow mountains at the moment.
    They are isolated but well formed towers.

    Have just noticed them myself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,498 ✭✭✭Mothman


    There were 2 towers in the region of Lug. These seem to be combining and may well drop a bit of water. I thunk these are north of what Tristame was looking at as I can see towers in the distant south. There are also further towers north of Lug.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭Snowbie


    Yes i can see them through the haze at 1300 but now at 1400 they have towered.From here looks like over the centre of wicklow.Cape and LI are forecast low today(unfavourable) so CBs is due to orographic lift so wont be widespread.Say over western wicklow might have a downpour or 2 later,to become electrified depends if convection maintains and in an hour its possible.

    Edit:1400 radar has rainfall over west wicklow now.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,913 ✭✭✭Danno


    Similar over west Limerick and North Kerry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭Snowbie


    @ Tristrame,carlow wexford border has delivered yet again near MT Leinster.
    Always guranteed down there for some home grown.

  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    They kept growing and building and looked like they developed something showerwise to the west of me from croghan mountain south over north and west wexford.There were some sharp lines it it and a well formed anvil.

    There was some lovely convergence going on!

    I'm in Meath and even I could see some large anvil cloud (and some towering cb's) off to the south east of me in the mid afternoon. These ones seemed to be over west side of wicklow mts or maybe east kildare. The anvil did seem to be dying though

    yup,it built up real quickly and died,you can see it on the met.ie radar animation travelling due south.
    It started in west wicklow somewhere and really fired in SW wicklow as it headed or converged with more stuff bubbling up in the direction of Mt Leinster.

    At its peak it looked quite thick and raining over and to the back of croghan Mt which would be SW wicklow on the north wexford border.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,246 ✭✭✭rc28


    I can see some new cb's directly to the south of me probably over Kildare, is anyone else seeing these? They didn't appear to be dying either.
    BTW meteireann have finally mentioned the risk of a t-storm tonight
    http://www.met.ie/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,720 ✭✭✭Hal1


    Estofex have some blue patches over wexford and parts of wicklow. The risk of an isolated TS has probably lowered alot by now. It was looking good for a while. It would be interesting to see how things develop over the next 24 hours or so as this cold front moves in from the west and meets the warm air that has been lingering about for the last few days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,498 ✭✭✭Mothman


    Some nice cb's in the north of Wicklow now. The haze has been hiding them. And with the wind generally southerly, there could potential of a storm for the capital

    Can't see anything here and didn't see any yesterday either:( any chance that the haze might burn off.
    Edit: just looked out again and i can just about make out theoutline of some cumulus nothing too big though, i presume they'd be just south of me?

    I think more directly inland from Bray, perhaps slightly south.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,512 ✭✭✭✭Supercell


    I can see cumulus from my front window, doesnt look like its bubbling up at any great rate has to be said.

    Its all but dissipated now, and with the haze, I may have been extrapolating a bit much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,246 ✭✭✭rc28


    Meteireann and the metoffice(for NI) mention risk of thunder today and on the radar there are some very heavy radar echoes over the northern half of the country.

    Fairly hefty cb has gone up north of me and has an anvil. Thing looks huge from here and must be producing some heavy rain somwhere in shankill or bit further north. Busy take pics and video atm. Will post in the photography thread soon.
    Edit: for anyone who has NW radar it shows the forming off them very nicely, between 13:10 and 13:15, a line of rain appears streching from Dublin back South-West about 30km


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,310 ✭✭✭Trogdor


    Another cell just coming into view now, looks much bigger and possibly thundery although there isn't anything showing up on dectectors. Looks like the southern side of this one may just clip us here.
    Edit:Had a short bout of heavy rain with a bit hail hail mixed in and now the cell seems to have moved away to my south

    Under a very heavy shower round that time,belted down for 10 mins.
    Sky very dark and looked thundery.No joy though.

    It's always very hit and miss with showers and thunderstorms. The risk will start off in the morning in the south-west spreading across the south coast and midlands throught the later in the morning and early afternoon, with a risk on the east coast in the late afternoon and evening i'd say. Can't say for certain that Bray will get a thundersorm tomorrow no, but certainly if conditions are still favourable tomorrow then i expect that near Bray could see something as anything that forms over the wicklow mountains will get blown North-East towards Bray and South-Dublin area

    Cape increasing to moderate 300-400 j/kg and LI going negative from mid afternoon onwards for the east of Ireland.Probable TS. 60/40 in favour.Might be embedded though.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    No mention of it yet in the Dublin TAF
    TAF EIDW 111000Z 111818 17008KT 9999 -RA SCT015 BKN025
    TEMPO 1807 5000 -RA BKN012
    BECMG 2301 23006KT
    BECMG 0003 VRB03KT
    TEMPO 0718 BKN015=

    Embedded storms are a goodish probability in the afternoon alright and even this morning in the sunshine before the cloud fully spilled in,I saw some cb's.
    Light rain here at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭Snowbie


    Yep saw the CB's before the clump arrived from the SW.
    Cork and Kerry have some stong echoes over them now,maybe this is the potential.
    Spitting rain outside though nothing heavy atm.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    fairly wet here.
    6.4mm so far.
