    So far, so good. Not much rain, light wind only. I guess it won't be worse than desmond. :)

    Winds won't be any stronger than they are now. Rain should start to get heavier later though, but not too much either.

    The Moy has started to burst it's banks near the Ridgepool in places - high tide due around 3pm could see some flooding in Ballina - beware!

    The river was flooding apartments on barret street yesterday. Its about 4-6 inches from bursting out at the cathedral, i don't know what people were thinking parking their cars there.

    You cant see in that but there is already a sizeable pool of water there on the road beside the ridgepool village apartments - matter of time before its flooded completely.

    The cathedral road is i'd say like 3 inches from bursting.

    I visit a friend down in Limerick sometimes and you can almost see the dividing line in the weather once you get to a certain point in Tipp. Ye really get the short end of the stick down there with rain :o.

    Nearly 100mm of rain in Castlebar since Friday, the lake has completely burst its banks which is a very rare occurrence.

    I read about "Storm Desmond" on this forum 3-4 days before it was even named a storm by met eireann thanks to a thread started by MT Cranium. Because of that I sorted a few things around the house that saved me and my family a lot of distress.

    That man is a boards.ie legend and I owe him a debt of gratitude.

    Completely agree and we dont say it enough. Thank you MT

    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.

    Big drop from yesterdays record high in the river Moy here at Swinford. Ballina still rising

    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
