I might see something tomorrow or even tonight now that the sea temperature around here is reaching the mid-teens! Just looking at the pressure charts and it looks like its going to go quite low. 992mb forecast for mid next week so far More rain..

"WEDNESDAY ... Showers and a few thunderstorms developing, risk of a severe storm from about Sligo to Dublin with slight tornadic risk, strong wind gusts, and hail. Rainfalls 10-20 mms in many parts but could be less near southwest coast. Heavier rainfalls in a few intense cells, this will have to be handled from radar, but in theory, around Athlone towards Kildare. Highs about 17-19 C. Winds WSW 20-35 mph veering later to WNW."

The above quote comes from the "Irish Weather Online" Facebook page and their usually pretty accurate. Starting to get quite excited now as I'm in the potential zone but I guess it will be down to luck as much as anything else. I'll be sleeping with my fingers crossed tonight I think
