    Looks like it will sweep up over north half of country fairly quick
    However there seems to be a bit of a “tail” on it which is a train of heavy showers
    Guess where :(

    Winds picking up here now on the west cork coast, had the first few small drops but stopped again. Some eerie looking clouds, some darker more swirly ones beneath lighter (but still dark) grey ones!

    Edit: some more drops starting to fall now, slowly getting heavier.

    Waterford Airport TAF has a mention thunderstorms. Only a 30% chance at that location, but you'd imagine that means a good chance of somewhere in the SE seeing action.

    TONIGHT

    Heavy rain over much of Munster and Leinster early tonight, will extend to Connacht and Ulster
    later in the night. An isolated thundery burst :eek::D is possible. The rain leading to localised
    surface flooding in places. Some clear spells and showers will follow into the south later in the night. Lowest
    temperatures of 13 to 15 Celsius. Southeast to east winds fresh to strong and gusty, with winds reaching
    near gale on coasts     with gale force winds on northern coasts by morning, winds veering southerly as the rain clears.

    TOMORROW - Friday 9th August

    On Friday morning, heavy possibly thundery rain over parts of Connacht and Ulster will clear northwards.
    Brighter conditions with showers will follow through the day. Many of the showers
    will be heavy and prolonged with thunderstorms and the risk of hail :eek::pac::D. Local
    downpours could potentially lead to hazardous driving conditions and flash flooding.
    Highest temperatures of 17 to 20 Celsius. Southeast winds mostly moderate to fresh and gusty
    but winds strong to near gale on many south and east coasts and touching gale force at times
    along the southeast coast.

    Can see some the line between the current grey clouds and a darker batch behind them. Not very heavy at the moment, nicely raining if you know what I mean. West cork coast.

    Some storms going through Biscay, plenty of convection incoming, will be interesting to see if it sparks.

    Predicted 'Rapid ECMWF 06z) totals up to midnight Saturday from this system for the major townships:

    Cork City: 38mm
    Dublin: 29mm
    Galway City: 39mm
    Limerick City: 48mm

    Will be interesting to see how it pans out in reality. Lovely breeze picking up here now. Much needed.

    Now it's lashing in West cork.. not a downpour but lashing! Seems to be coming from the east, slightly north according to the clouds and the lifeguard flags. Interesting!

    You can see the very cold cloud tops off Biscay that is producing the current thunderstorms there, some deep convection just coming on to the Cork / Kerry coast coast now.
