Title: Mamatus clouds Post by: stuart2588 on September 10, 2008, 11:22:18 am I saw these mamatus clouds forming this morning to my south west.
I quickly ran into the house after a driving lesson at 9am and tried to get a few snaps but the power lines got in the way!!lol (http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/stu2588/storm10082008146.jpg) (http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/stu2588/storm10082008147.jpg) (http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/stu2588/storm10082008148.jpg) (http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/stu2588/storm10082008150.jpg) (http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/stu2588/storm10082008157.jpg) (http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/stu2588/storm10082008158.jpg) Title: Re: Mamatus clouds Post by: martinastro on September 10, 2008, 12:40:19 pm Nice early catch Suart!. Good mammatus :)
Be on the alert today because there's a risk of tornadoes for Ireland/N. Ireland. Radar showing very intense rainfall, any cbs which do form will be in a highly sheared environment. The supercell parameter is also present over much of the country. ESTOFEX have a risk of t-storms over central and western N. Ireland.

Noticed similar here around about 9am & it was raining by 10.... |
