Thursday/Friday Snow Potential
-
14-12-2011 10:48am#1Right as it would seem the storm system predicted 3 days ago is looking like trailing through the channel perhaps impacting the south English coast with high winds.
However the result of this is to move a large band of precipitation over the UK and a portion of precip is expected to affect some parts of the southern half of Ireland.
It is possible there could be a period of prolonged snow for those inland of the east coast during Thursday night.
Here is a chart for 9pm
And dew points
Thereafter it will be cold and frosty from Friday through the weekend with harsh frosts and the possibility of some more snow showers particularly in the north.15

It's almost set in stone for something white to fall but I wouldn't rule out a change yet :P
Any more movement south on the system will more than likely result in showery conditions and only the extreme south getting a doucing.0 -

Looks like Dublin is going to miss out on the white stuff. Hopefully it changes slightly
It's a lose lose for Dublin really, the further north the precip goes, the probability of stronger east winds increases and therefore more chance of rain!
Lets hope we can find a mid-point with offshore winds.0 -

I see from that UKMO video, where he mentions heavy snow for Wales, if you look a few frames before, you can see the same symbols/hatch pattern for the east coast of Ireland (Dublin and Wicklow anyway).
A dump of snow would be satisfactory compensation for not having a storm! 0 -

So does this mean the south east can forget about it as will miss out again?

I could almost burst with excitement at the prospect of snow
Give it until the next GEFS run at 9.30pm before getting too excited, Karen. The positioning of the low pressure system heading from our south toward the english channel is key. If it shifts any further south then the snow potential will also shift south. If it tracks further north then better again. Ultimately, the intensity and longevity of any precipitation also remains uncertain. Either way, parts of the country deprived of snowfall for 12 long months are in their best position to see snowfall yet this winter.
Just hang on to your hats for another GEFS run or two I say.0 -

I don't understand any of that stuff you just wrote except about being in a position to see snow and that is enough to me This is way more interesting than studying for my finals! 0 -
