    What has kicked off the ppn over Meath / Kildare ?
    Anyone know how are why it suddenly decides to lightly snow in these areas
    You would understand it coming in off the coast but for it to kick off inland has me quite bewildered

    Puzzling me too! Seems a little bit of an unusual set up. Given the Irish Sea is so cold now at this time of year, maybe, the latent heat of the land is setting off precipitation.

    Just the odd snow grain here. 2.2c DP -3.1c atm.

    im embarrassed to say that there are little mini drifts on the wipers of the cars and edges of the windscreens!

    Casement reporting thunder but surely it's an incorrect report
    Pretty sure I saw a flash out that direction a while ago. Nothing showed on radar though.

    Fairly useless stuff. Things have picked up in eastern England which bodes well gut we're still talking very light stuff!

    You mean Fluff! :pac:

    Only proper streamer (even if its light/moderate intensity) is South of Belfast. Other activity over the Irish Sea is just patchy and would give a slight dusting at best. Better stuff on Wednesday I think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,426 ✭✭✭JanuarySnowstor


    Well for those with beady eyes, the barest of ppn kicking off on the South coast.
    Then again it could be just a fish spitting out.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 84 ✭✭Wicklow Weather


    My money is on Wednesday when winds take a more NE direction.

    Another thing that's not helping at the moment is the surface winds are at about 10-15kts while the 850hpa winds are at about 30-35 kts.

    These will gradually fall into more similar speeds as the week goes on, aiding convection.

    The UK radar did pick it up alright around 8:30pm for your area

    A slight increase in precip intensity across East Kildare and Meath Counties


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,780 ✭✭✭✭ninebeanrows


    This is the best i have seen the NAE for precip for us easterners for this spell!

    Maybe pathetic but at least an indicator, perhaps 1-2cms of snow by morning.

    Yup, and the east Kildare bit is annoying me very much because it simply skips over me, gives me the middle finger and drops it's load as soon as it sees the Dublin/Kildare border.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,058 ✭✭✭thomasj


    Strange forecast.

    Tomorrow night and Wednesday snow showers in ulster and leinster

    Tomorrow afternoon will see sleet possibly snow showers on higher ground.

    Bitterly cold with eastern wind chill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 802 ✭✭✭davidsr20


    And there goes the level 2 back to level 1 again :( happens a lot on here this year!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 17,714 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gonzo


    radar showing precipitation over me for past 2 hours, theres been nothing here for over an hour and when we did get it, it was only a few graupal bits and the odd flake, think the radar is showing the precipitation much better than what is actually happening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,310 ✭✭✭Trogdor


    Some light snow in trinity again now but nothing very significant.

    UKV shows something broadly similar too, although just as pathetic really.

    Showers tomorrow could be more prevalent than people think
    There's been a noticeable shift in the ppn predictors of at least some showery activity kicking off
    Met Eireann ramping it up just a tad too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,370 ✭✭✭pad199207


    sky looks a bit more laden here now!

    They'd want to change their graphic for tomorrow fairly lively if they're ramping :P
