Looks good to me MS

Here's a couple of photos i took from the last cold spell up at Lough Fea! Beautiful part of the world especially when there's snow!

Certainly looks good early next week for the Northwest in particular. Hopefully in the strong winds some of the showers will get to many other parts aswell if the charts come to fruition.

[BornFromTheVoid]

Monday night and Tuesday looking good away.

With the air coming straight off the mild Atlantic and uppers of just -6C to -8C, a lot of those showers may be sleety during the day, with a decent snow fall occurring during the heavier showers. Of course from late evening to morning they'd mostly be snow, especially away from west/south west coast.

[BornFromTheVoid]

Thunderstorm in Cork, best in a while!

[Marcus_surfer]

Thunderstorm in Cork, best in a while!

Any hail within that rain band?

[BornFromTheVoid]

Any hail within that rain band?

Nope, just some heavy rain and gusty winds.

Plenty of strikes though!

[ronan]

Is this all due to move north through the night?

[BornFromTheVoid]

Is this all due to move north through the night?

It's along the east coast at the moment, doesn't look like it will stretch up into the north unfortunately.

Here's a short clip I got. Heavy rain up to 1:45, a very nice CG at 1:49 and CC at 2:21, before the power started going out around the city!

[Vince Coombes]
