    There will still be some heavy showers following on today and tomorrow but the main band of rain has moved eastward now. It's over me here in Waterford now.

    Thanks for earlier comments and I very much agree that you should include the other weather forum mainstays in any positive comments, you know who they are of course, and in the recent Desmond situation we had really good co-ordination from forum moderators and various posters doing the right thing at the right times. We could see the level three rainfall potential and when it became official those people were quick to separate the thread which I think was a good idea. In general here, we can only hope to add a little detail to what is probably generally known around the country from the usual sources of weather information, rarely is there much difference of opinion with Met-E, and I must confess that with today's event, I deliberately added a level to it just because I wanted to convey the idea that flooding might not recede quite as fast as might often be the case with the additional rainfall, seems that way in some areas from your reports.

    I may post some thoughts about that level three rainfall business in the other thread if it is still open.

    At this point, would say that the warning level on this thread can safely be dropped either to level one or just no warning, except that people in northwest Mayo should expect perhaps level one wind gusts at times tomorrow morning. That threat downgrade of course is not meant to apply to the ongoing flooding which is now going to have to exhaust itself from just a small amount of additional rainfall until possibly a moderate top-up around Thursday.

    Unlike previous days, tonight could deliver a higher gust factor in those convective showers that are coming in off the Atlantic. Gusts of 55 kts are possible in places

    I would think so, with greater mixing of upper winds than occurred in the much more stable conditions of the past week.

    It's a wild night here in Cork
    Surely more than gale 8
