That would explain how I got wet lol. What I meant was that it felt like sleet as it reached ground level..cherryghost wrote: »
Not raining, not sleeting, but heavy rain?

It will almost certainly start as rain tomorrow evening for most in to night time hours and then become an increasing mix with sleet and snow particularly on higher ground. By the early hours of Wednesday the east coast could see snow to low levels as temperatures fall back to freezing or a little above. GFS high resolution progging this consistently now probably including some evaporative cooling as well. Currently day time temperatures Wednesday look like reaching no higher than 1 or 2c in the east (milder in the west - maybe up to 4 or 5c) with outbreaks of sleet and snow this backing in to the midlands as the day wares on.
....essentially, any 'event' this week will be basically a 'nowcast' situation....the nail biting begins!

I do think somethings up though and there is potential for some areas to see potentially a lot of snow this week whilst others have rain.
The likes of this thread is meant to be a bit of fun as much as anything.
The antagonisers posting should really get a life or just relax,there's no need to be aiming fire at the op,making an effort at his hobby :mad:
cue roll eye smiley's and more antagonism now I s'pose,quit it folks,no ones listening to that only yourselves,the rest of us are here to enjoy the ride
Life and death isn't happening because there's a few threads in the weather forum.
Well said!! I totally agree!0 -

This is not correct
Dew point
Temperature @ 850hpa
Is there a bit of IMBYISM going on here I wonder? The forecast hasn't changed at all. And i'd be wary of changing it on a 6z op run where the cold air is kept 50 miles further east than other model or previous GFS run.0 -

Looks an East Coast/North East event from those charts. Talking IMBY can't see anything for down here unless a major shift west. Is the GFS showing anything in the longer term pattern of interest?0 -

Hang on a minute. I said the dew point rises as the precipitation crosses the country.
The only places that still have dew points below zero on the chart you posted are the places where the precipitation hasn't rearched yet.0 -

'Wrong side of marginal'. :pac: I can foresee that phrase popping up a few times this week!

The last significant frontal snow I can recall here was in Feb 07. It was strange. It was sleety wet snow in Galway City but a few miles inland it became a full white out. Remember driving home up the N17 and it was amazing how it literally turned from sleety rain to snow near Claregalway. I had to turn around again just to mark the point!!. By the time I got back home it had become near blizzard like. Very disorientating to drive through I have to say. When I got back into Galway the next morning, not even a hint of lying snow there. Amazing difference over a relatively small area.

Night of 3rd March 2009 is last time I can remember any frontal snow here. Got a good wee dumping, but it didn't last too long, just the day as there wasn't enough cold around to maintain it.
Interesting set up that night, a frontal boundary locked within a polar air mass right over south Donegal.

Looking at the latest models Ireland aren't going to see anything of significance . The UK on the other hand are in the perfect and enviable position. They are going to get hit with loads of snow . WE were just on the wrong side of marginal by maybe 300 miles
It would have made all the difference 0
