    I would say look out Wicklow and then Dublin (now to 1030h), incoming heavy showers may become thundery, torrential downpours and possible hail or gusty winds ... local flood potential should be monitored. A few places could see 20-30 mms in a two-three hour period. You know the drill.

    It'll probably end up as a spit of rain and a single distant rumble.

    Everything is very still here in West Wicklow. Calm before the Storm?

    It always makes me laugh those SEVERE thunderstorm warnings for Ireland .... I get the feeling the word SEVERE has a different meaning here :D

    Very Unstable tephigram,

    When is this scheduled to kick off? Strikes starting to be visible on the south coast of England.

    Well spotted Ian.
    This tephi shows a nice unstable atmosphere. The big thick red line starts rising at the DALR ( Dry Air Adibatic Lapse Rate which is the puple line). Then at about 1000 meters it condenses and reaches saturation point and starts to rise at the SALR ( Saturated Air Lapse Rate curved green lines). It then rises to about 9000 metres and hits the equilibrium level and stops rising.
    This where the Anvil should form.

    Just need a trigger for the convection now which doesn't look like happening. Too much moisture through all levels

    V heavy half hour of rain here in the north east, which ended with about 5 min of hailstones mixed in...really dark over the mountains heading north but brightening from the south...looks like the sun might come out for a while...would that be enough for some added convective heating later in teh afternoon?

    I don't think it will be enough as the heat from the sun at this time of year won't account for much.
    If the upper air temps were colder it could have been an active day but the temps are a little on the high side at 850mb.
    The freezing level is quite high also with the GFS putting the 0DegC Isotherm at 2200m so any hail forming will be small.
