    Snowstorm over central England Saturday morning with trailing heavy snow showers into Irish east coast.

    Totals reaching 10cm in the eastern Ireland by this stage.

    EDIT: Would i be right in saying the models precipitation charts wouldn't pick up on the effects of streamers?

    Totals increasing in Irish as irish sea feeders pick up during Saturday night into Sunday.

    Disruption in Dublin region likely with upto 15cm on the ground.

    Yeah Sat Night looks better for the east on this run. We need the North Easterly at some stage if we are to get a decent dump out of this.

    The potential for everyone to see snow is there yes. Question is, How much?

    My Mrs and son are due to fly from Heathrow to Dublin on Sunday at 2pm. What chances that this flight will be cancelled due to the weather in your opinion based on these models?

    Interesting, DP to drop faster than expected? More of the country could be in for some sleet/snow than previously expected (bar the south)

    have been watching that too this v cold air behind the front must be taking effect despite the long sea track of these fronts, if the estimates keep dropping the DP def sleet in midlands more than rain and snow above 500 ft

    Apologies - thanks for the response.

    Heavy precip pushing up from the south at 150 hours on the 12Z GFS, but with that milder air approaching the snow would turn to rain before long there.

    Long way off though, FI is a lot closer than 150 hours now.

    Fantasy Island, future charts that are in such an unreliable timeframe that they were not worth paying too much attention to.

    Yeah. It will probably flip back to cold on the 18Z. No need to panic.

    Met.ie - Thursday will see a band of rain and drizzle extending quickly southwards, turning to sleet and snow on high ground. However, this will clear all areas by late afternoon, leaving wintry showers to affect northern and western coastal counties, many falling as snow. Highest temperatures 6 to 9 degrees, but turning bitterly cold by evening. Winds will be moderate to fresh, northerly.
