Tonights Sharp Cold Front

ninebeanrows

Tonights sharp cold front will bring very heavy rain and as it moves
through thunder lighting hail sleet and snow will push into the back
of the front giving a wide variety of weather with heavy squally shower
behind it. From 3am - 12am snowfall is possible especially over high
ground. Falls of heavy hail are also likely. Winds will also gust to 70mph.

Post your reports on the front here:)

Also expect a sharp drop in temperature 5-7c in a few hours.

Look at the sharp back edge to the front ready to sweep across the country

Well it's pretty breezy now in Galway.
There are a few things banging around outside.
I think a few empty wheelie bins are blowing about.
