I think this system was over cooked by the models... hard to see where 30mm is going to fall, let alone 60mm. It will be gone by this time tomorrow.

If it doesn't rain between the showers, it'll be fine.

Orographic lift will aid in increasing the totals over mtns Dan but the persistence of the rain will only add to overall totals. Let's hope the models have overcooked it but it has been consistent especially over hilly areas. We will soon find out.

True, the Wicklow mountains will sponge up a good bit of rain, but the radar returns are quite weak for such a system that was touted by the models to be a big drencher. It seems the worst is in over England and S Wales... good luck to it! I was looking at the satellite developments throughout the afternoon and early evening yesterday and the mass of cloud seemed to stay offshore over the Celtic Sea - perhaps the low track was expected further north? I see the centre is nearly into NW France at present... France is probably going to get the worst along with SW England and Wales. Probably no harm as they have had it dry for a long time there and reservoir levels are well down.

      The trouble with weather forecasting is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it.  ~Patrick Young

          Ashtown, Dublin 7 has Light rain currently, in a wild, gusty wind.
          intermittent heavy showers since about 8am but the main feature is the wind.
