Looked like a great show Paul, when I was watching it on the radar I wished I was there incase there was lightning.
fri, Sat, Sun has unstable air over Ireland/N. Ireland, certainly looks interesting at this range. Heavy showers of rain, hail, or snow with a risk of thunderstorms in W, NW and SW areas. Time will tell though. Maybe time to start the first convective thread of 2010. Netweather have a forecast out for far W Ireland shore regions and S Britain Thurs.
