    This is a view from Cork Airport looking north over the city...

    The radar resolution is terrible. At best it is showing a light shower over cork!

    SITTING VERY PATIENTLY HERE IN FINGLAS WAITING ON SOME ACTION ALL DAY!

    I hope it all doesn't just die out before anything comes up here.
    Theres lots of pre-anvil clouds abouts but noting that looks like its gonna produce anything.

    The Six one's weather forecast better be interesting!

    That cell in north Kildare has shown some explosive development in the last half hour. Another cell now forming rapidly to my south over the mountains.

    My first good sign of the day is seeing loads of birds heading east. Have seen it before when a storm is approaching.

    Yeah you could hear it rumbling away in that direction and there was a 2nd shower in the other direction going on as well, but both have stopped. Temperature has really dropped with the cloud cover.
