Update at 0000 25th April

The warning is to continue with a risk of flooding to northeast (East Ulster included), eastern and southern areas. High tides in Dublin at 2pm Wed and 2am Thursday and in Cobh at 0730am Wed, with gale force east to north east winds may bring some coastal flooding to these areas with rivers swelling. Heavy rain at first tapering off but returning again overnight into Thursday morning to east coast. With the persistent nature of the rainfall, totals accumulating to 35mm to 45mm possible on lower levels in the east while up to 60mm possible over higher ground over a 40hr period. The northeast and south accumulations of 30mm possible again higher over elevation.

Rainfall will become widespread elsewhere but only slowly reaching the northwest with much smaller accumulations here. Chart below shows the predicted accumulations.

Next update in the morning where we will update the predicted rainfall totals and nowcast the event from our stations.
