    Just light rain/heavy drizzle in Cork so far, barely forming puddles yet.

    I don't think Cork City will get much from this, the whole thing looks to push up far enough to leave your relatively dry much later and then the rain stalls over middle of country and slowly pivots before eventually pulling away to the south east.

    What?! I was looking forward to a big rain event!! :-(

    It is after getting a little heavier in the last 40 minutes or so, verging on moderate at the moment with some puddles finally forming!
    The NAE shows the heavier stuff arriving at around 6 this evening, so while the front looks like stalling a little to the north, I think we may keep some steady precip from the trailing edge and maybe squeeze ~30mm in Cork in the next 24 hours.
    I have a view of the Lee after moving into my new apartment 2 days ago, so I'll keep an eye on the water level anyway!

    The radar is strange, big yellow blob over galway and mayo, but ive just driven from Galway and not a spot of rain. Sun is sort of shinning here in south mayo. people cutting their grass and all the kids are out playing.


    The cloud base around the conutry is still fairly high (3,000-4,000 ft), with relatively dry air below, therefore much of the precipitation is being picked up by the radar but is evaporating before reaching the ground. This has also led to the several degrees of cooling that has occured this afternoon, and eventually this evaporative cooling will lower the cloudbase later today / tonight and therefore more of the rain will reach the ground too.

    Oh don't get me wrong, you are going to get very wet and yes the latest higher resolution GFS shows that rain clearing your area towards the small hours or earlier and straddling middle of country for a prolonged period of time.

    The GFS Gramet for Cork shows the rain stopping around 10 pm, with around 25 mm falling from now until then.

    Limerick City hasn't started heavy rainfall yet. There's been enough "soft" drizzly light rain to saturate the soil and leave tarmac very wet. Presuming that there's more to come.

    All major models now finally agreeing on the south west receiving the most rainfall totals during the wet period.

    I'm sure ye are all used to it by now anyway. Lived around there for a while and boy does it get wet at times.

    12-hour rainfall totals (mm) to 7 pm:

    Roche's Point 38
    Valentia, Sherkin Island 18
    Cork Airport 14
    Mace Head 7
    Shannon Airport 6

    Amazing difference between Roches Point and Cork Airport, which are only 16 km apart.

    On the radar loop, the strongest returns seem to be forming a line along the east of Cork Harbour.

    Yes, a big difference in that area alright.

    The aviation chart for 00Z shows the triple point just east of Limerick, with the warm front running west-east, and the cold front running Wexford-Cardiff-Le Havre, moving NE at 15 knots. The heaviest rain should occur around the triple point.

    Extraordinary, as roches point normally has much less rainfall than the airport. Only about 60% or so according to the 1971-2000 averages.

    Moderate rainfall I would guess in Loughlinstown currently, am certain there will be huge totals from this in the Wicklow mountains.

    Guys,
    Any chance of a hint of what it will be like in North Louth/Cooley Mtns area for mid morning onwards 2morrow.
    A fairly big cycle on there with a fast downhill section.
