Heavy Snow at times next week especially after midweek

Lumi

Nothing to report from Galway, not even a single ice pellet. This thesis was coming along nicely until I took to spending all day peering at clouds rolling down the Corrib:rolleyes:

Same stuff here, just too light and insignifigant to fall as anything other than haily stuff.

Sleet on and off in Dublin's City Centre doesn't look like it will amount to much though.

How about a refreshing new thread for saturday nights potential?

Tomorrows feature is looking very nice at this point. Good intensity, not too intense but not too weak, arriving east coast around midnight, pushing up and giving some continous falls.

Could be a nice one:D

Monday could yet deliver a Major snow event




Tomorrow night looks snowy but marginal at times.

Today Scattered rain, hail and sleet showers this evening. Further showers for a time tonight in the northwest, west and southwest - the showers turning increasingly wintry, with falls of snow likely. The rest of the country will be mainly dry with mostly clear skies. A cold night everywhere with a sharp or severe frost and some patches of mist and fog. Lowest temperatures between zero and minus 5 degrees.


Tomorrow

Apart from a few wintry showers near Atlantic coasts, it will start dry and bright tomorrow with sunny periods after any early mist and fog clears. Outbreaks of rain will reach west Munster in the afternoon and will turn to sleet or snow as it spreads to the rest of Munster and Leinster during Saturday evening and night. It will remain cold. Temperatures rising no higher than 3 to 6 degrees

Outlook

The current cold spell will continue through Saturday night, Sunday and much of next week. Daytime temperatures will range from about 3 to 7 degrees. There'll be sharp or severe frosts at night with temperatures falling as low as -6 degrees in places. Saturday night will be dry in many areas with clear spells. However there's a risk of sleet and snow in Munster and south Leinster and also near Connacht and Ulster coasts. SUNDAY and MONDAY will each have a good deal of dry weather with sunny spells and light northerly breezes. There'll be some scattered wintry showers of rain, hail, sleet or snow, mainly in coastal counties of the north and west. TUESDAY will start off dry. But outbreaks of rain and sleet along with fresh easterly winds, will develop in the south and gradually spread northwards through the evening and night, possibly falling as snow in places. The rain, sleet and any snow will gradually clear eastwards on WEDNESDAY with brighter weather following.

Convection that bubbled up is now sending a few showers in to North Leinster that may hit the big smoke with a flavour of whats might come tomorrow night.

hmm already the dreaded rain for west munster! it will be most likely be very marginal for here depending on what time of day the precipitation falls.

Just had a very light snizzle/graupel shower. 2.9c DP -0.1c now (down from 4.7c just 40 minutes ago).

More on that potential countrywide event on Monday

Black, thundery looking monster to my north at the moment :eek:. Shower looks to be over the Miltown/Dunmore area approx. Even here in town there is a sudden weird hue to the atmosphere. I think it will probably miss here but this sudden darkness is exceptional. :eek:.

Edit. Wind picking up.

Focus on tomorrow first i would suggest, changes are happening so fast.

Tomorrows feature looks very good.

Nice balance of mild air input to generate precip but not enough to turn it to rain for most.

Would be worried about the southeast coast though - might blee sleety/rain

Intense looking rain shafts now about 2 miles to my north/north east. Increasing breeze but bulk of shower missing here as I suspected.

no don't wolfe - you're our man for the western outlook! how do you think the precipitation will turn out in munster? am worried it will be a rain/sleety event.

Deep Easterly

Maybe I am reading it wrong, but the latest HIRLAM run seems to bring that low closer to our SW coast at 48hrs than the GFS 12z run. Hard to tell though, but it does have some sort of showery trough developing ahead of it as the winds back more to a southeasterly point.
