Update at 1000 April 24th
The low pressure center is likely to stall over Wales and keep the weather front close to the east coast during Wednesday bring heavy rain to the south and south east coast later moving north along the east coast. The rain heavy at first is set to become persistent for daytime Wednesday in places and often lighter and intermittent but with heavy bursts here and there. The rain is set to continue in the east and north east, persistent and continuous with further rainfall accumulations during Thursday before clearing away later in the late evening.
At this moment, there could be in excess of 30mm at sea level (50mm over the mountains) over the period covering 25th/26th but this will fall over 36hrs to midnight on Thursday. These totals could be upgraded as new information is released. With strong east to north east winds and high tide expected during this spell, some coastal flooding is possible along the east. Orographic lift from the Wicklow mountains may increase totals significantly locally in east Wicklow and parts of south Dublin.
Next update after 12noon.
Predicted rainfall accumulations covering to Wednesday evening
