Hmm, from the raintoday radar the squall line appears to get disrupted by the Isle of Man.

One section is Intensifying to the south though approaching Anglesey.

I have been keeping an eye on the Anglesey area too. According to Raintoday the line between Dublin and the Isle of Man is still intensifying. Current winds at RAF Valley are 50mph gusting to 70mph.

6-7pm according to the NMM mate

Thanks, I may invest in the NMM subscription. ( A good uneducated guess from me though!!)

I hope that's not the sewers mate!

This is mostly to do with the advection of the warm sector moist air over the high ground - you can see how the precipitation follows the outline of the land and is doing the same in Lancashire + Cumbria.

Ahh thanks I see, ( I'm a novice!) The front has now entered the Irish Sea proper now. If it's going to intensify it should start to around now and with the onset of evening nocturnal cooling this may help to get convection going. I guess another 2 or 3 hours and it should be over northwestern shores?

I have noticed a bunch of showers on the radar developing over northwest Wales and Anglesey area too these look to be growing in intensity. RAF Valley is reporting wind gusts of 56MPH with gusts near 70MPH later this evening.

Looking pretty impressive on the radar at the moment - notice the line of convection running along the the front through Ireland and then up into southern Scotland

Plus we have the first signs of wintriness being picked up on the Cairngorms

Yes, Quite impressive, I have been watching this develop for the past few hours. Now the squall line is entering the Irish Sea the front may start to strengthen - Winds Currently at Ronaldsway Airport (IoM) are 40 MPH sustained and gusts to 57MPH. looks like the gusts could soon strengthen to 55 Knots (63MPH).

It should do, the Irish sea is still relatively warm.

The gusts are getting quite big now, just had a 39mph gust from nothing.

Yep, Showers have now died down and it isn't as cloudy as earlier but it's getting more gusty. The gusts are now increasing in strength and frequency too.

Thanks, I live just east of Liverpool nr Bowering Park / Roby. I will look out for the convection potential for this evening with interest. Hopefully the Irish Sea will pep things up a little as the front passes over it. I will keep a keen eye on the radar from early evening onwards.

Hi All, good to be part of Netweather!

After a dull, damp and calm start this morning, winds have started to pick up. It started with a gentle breeze around lunch time to a stiffening breeze now and light to moderate drizzle/rain showers. I am looking forward to the squall line moving over me, I reckon around 18:00 ish

Current conditions temperature 14C Pressure 1008hPa Winds south/southwest at 23mph (as issued by Liverpool airport METAR)
