Areas prone to Flooding in Carlow need to be aware of risk.

Weather Warning 23-12-10 10pm

This very Cold spell of weather is expected to last until Sunday. The breakdown is been forecast many different ways by all the weather models. Ranging from little thaw and major Snow event to complete wash out with rain and high temps. Please stay up to date with Weather Forecasts this weekend as this has the potential to cause serious issues including Flooding.

The most obvious scenario at the moment in my opinion is for heavy Snow on Sunday Night before turning to sleet then Rain, followed by higher temps on Monday with a serious risk of Flooding, areas prone to Floding need to be prepared. This forecast will change as we move closer to Sunday please keep updated. There is also some signals at the moment that the thaw made be short lived with cooler weather returning.

I will try to update this as much as possible over the coming days.

Mods I hope you don't mind the seperate thread but just didn't want it to get lost in the larger one.
