    Flood warnings issued by met.ie and uk met office for n and nw. Many roads already flooded round Donegal town. My garden is a lake and I have a new waterfall out the back. Monitoring levels closely. No end in site according to radar.

    Yes! Yes! Yes!

    The ground is damp(ish) :eek:!

    It's gonna bit a Big One - I can tell :D

    There is nothing I like more than spits and spots of rain and 14c and a bit of a breeze on a night at the very end of November.

    You can keep your snow, this utter nothingness is what I live for! :pac::pac::pac:

    We had close to torrential rain here for about 20 minutes around 8pm, back to a more moderate rate again now but it doesn't look like there's any and in sight yet on the radar so there'll definitely be spot flooding about

    O dear....it seems to have passed over leaving no trace. There is a bit of a large gap till the next wave according to http://www.raintoday.co.uk/.

    :(

    Gettin' windier though; average speed 10kph, gusting to 30 kph.

    Latest NAE (18z) has the frontal zone wavering over the west & northwest until early morning:182990.png

    Progression eastwards seems to be somewhat slower than on earlier runs, most likely due to small waves that are pulsing up along the front itself.

    Hardly a puff of wind here in Galway so trough must be closing in.

    10pm Reports:
    Valentia: 5.6mm
    Mace Head: 3.9mm
    Finner Camp: 3.8mm (bringing 2hr total to 11.1mm)

    The last one fizzled to nothingness but I think the main event over here will be several hours from now.

    And I'm not just sayin' that 'cos Easterly said it :rolleyes:

    Even heavier over Sligo & Donegal but unfortunately these counties are not well represented by the Shannon & Dublin radars.

    Fronts should slowly move eastwards overnight and into tomorrow with always chance of some heavier bursts.

    EDIT: Latest radar from the UK Met Office: (10.30pm)
    182997.png

    Front now seems to be stalling over west Galway, up through Mayo and Sligo and into Donegal. Possible small wave developing west or SW of Clare.

    I see there's a band of red extending up through Coleraine! That just has to be producing snow on the hills up behind the house! :D

    Great stuff, never knew about that. Far better than the ME radar for Donegal and the colours are much easier to read than raintoday

    Relatively small amounts showing up on finner there, I know from experience when it might be a nice day in Finner camp or that area, it can be a whole lot different on my side of Donegal Bay. Floods galore here this evening.

    It's been raining since around 3 pm today, just drove out from Galway city in biblical rain and it's still going.
    Alot of local roads are flooded and I'm sure it will do wonders for the potholes.
    Front garden under water, should get nice pictures tomorrow.

    Good morning fellow storm-chasers.

    And still we wait......

    *Current average wind speed 6kph, high gusts in the low 30s all night. Not a lot.
    *Temp is now a frigid 12.4c
    *It started raining at 5am and we have now accumulated 1.6mm
    *Pressure 992 hPa and still plummeting.

    I'm seen worse storms in the hot-press. But look at that big blob on the radar! (heading this way :confused:)

    For once i can scientifically say that we have had at least just under 3 inches since 1pm yesterday. I know this because I cremated some bacon and left the smoking tray outside which is almost 3 inches deep and it was overflowing this morning.
    That and the river is about to burst too.
