Strong Winds, Heavy Rain Wintry Weather : Sat 2nd to Mon 4th March 2019

Meteorite58

Worth keeping an eye on how this Depression develops on Saturday. The Models in general have been showing it track up off the NW coast but on latest runs they have been bringing it closer to the coast and showing some strong winds , the GFS not too dissimilar to the ECM at this stage showing a swathe of strong winds across much of the country for a number of hours , showing the strongest winds atm in the W.

More than likely warnings will be issued .

Most tellingly is that the ECM 12Z tracks the centre closer to the coast on the latest run with strong winds gusting 100 to 110 kph inland in places .

Will see how this pans out one way or the other.

Due to be away for the week in the morning so out of everything. Kids may get stuck here too.

Snowing in Tralee! Snowfall here is a once in 10 years event. We must be protected by our location and the topography. 2 years in a row I can't recall.

220m asl here in Kilkenny
Temperature fell to 3.2C then rose to 3.8C, then took a sudden drop, 2.3C and falling.
Sleety rain, but netweather radar suggests the snow is on its way.

Anyone who makes a bread related joke should be asked to leave the country. It's still not funny.
Rain still falling in Galway , awful day, no sign of any snow.

Don't worry, I am planning on doing that anyway. No need to ask, but thanks for the thought.

Nothing sticking near Mallow but big wet flakes.

Currently driving from Portumna (Galway/Tipp border) to Athlone. Heavy snow in Portumna and was sticking, turned to rain as we hit Ballinasloe, absolutely pelting rain now as we near Athlone. Hoping when we return to Portumna in a couple of hours we come back to a nice white cover as it was coming down heavy when we left!

MIRMIR82

Snowing here Shinrone, Offaly for an hour now. Quite heavy too. Sticking on cars and trees. Not roads.
