    more strikes between Gort and Loughrea just now

    There must be something about that area of galway but they always seem to get good lightning when there is a chance. But it always seems to happen when Im in Galway city, (ie during work hours)

    Mid layer cape is good but needs some heat to kick off? that's my interpretation.

    Most Unstable CAPE...that is CAPE calculated from the most unstable layer in the atmosphere, which may or may not be the surface layer (SBCAPE).

    Evelyn mentioned the chance of isolated thunderstorms in eastern areas on Fri, this chart is interesting with the cool Atlantic hitting the warm humid air to our east. :)
