Yes, but if you enlarge the area of radar detection you see that the radar still shows rain and thunder strikes on the Atlantic side of the coast.

ECMWF model predicted a heavy thunderstorm over the Mediterranean side.

The location of these convective rains is very difficult to predict and I wonder what weather apps you are referring to if they say they do not predict rain. It’s probably some radar extrapolation.
