Snow watch until Sunday 24th (N,W,SW most at risk)

Thread for flooding potential Connaught, North Leinster, South Ulster through Monday night/Tuesday/first half of Wednesday.

Heavy snow potential second half of Wednesday particularly Leinster and Munster. Much colder by evening.

Surprised a thread wasn't started for the flood potential. Will update this OP in the morning.

Interesting 48 hours to come from tonight to say the least.

rain just about clearing here now in Dunshaughlin. Should be mostly dry here now for the next few days. Ground is absolutely saturated so a few dry days and some frost will do the ground some good.

The next snow event is snow showers in Ulster Thursday night onwards....

The MetE radar doesn't do well in snowfall, always under-represents the intensity for some reason, I wonder is it specific to the hardware used whereas UK radar handles it better?

Yeah it's strange, I think it's something to do with the Dublin radar. I know the UK network doesn't use the Dublin radar, only Shannon. Looking back on MetÉ's radar today, there's definitely some issues with Dublin radar, you can see the banding and huge gaps. Might be interference issues.

Prolonged wintry showers for inland Munster and south Leinster later tonight on the wrap-around from Cristoph?

We've missed out on an event by very small margins this time.

Big differences in the radar images. Netweather shows a heavy band of precip over west Wicklow, moving into Dublin, while the MetÉ radar shows a very light area of precip in the same area.

Nothing but rain (and a fair amount of it) in Wicklow Town too...

Rain has stopped here in south Laois. Got down to 3.1c just as it cleared. Winds flicked NE and temps rose to 3.5c. Winds have just returned NW now and temperature is holding at 3.5c.

Looks like any snow will be in the Liffey-Barrow-Slaney areas with higher ground nearby most poised to see any accumulations.

Nothing but rain here in Dublin 8, I'm hoping for a miracle

leeash10

Snow now sticking on grass in West Wicklow, 2c.

highdef

Just plain rain with the tiny hint of iciness visible if you have a windy handy for it to land on otherwise you'd think it was pure rain of you're looking out from inside. This is in ballyfermot/inchicore area

More and more flakes with the sleet here now.

Drizzling here in Meath (Tara/Kilmessan area - 500 feet). Wondering if we have any hope of snow later?

Seeing that sploginess here too on Velux in Dublin 16. 3.1c atm.

its a real odd one because i cant tell if its prodominently raining or more sleet. its getting heavier too so hopefully with Evaporate cooling it switches over to snow. 2C at casement and dropping. Dew point 1C also.

Definitely a mix of sleet/rain here in D14. I can see the sleet/wet flake bits melt as it reaches the skylight below my bedroom view.

GL, are the actual conditions / metrics we are seeing giving you any pause to think that for some this might not just be a high ground event (I should say up to now I agreed with your view that this would be a non event). Things seem to me to be a bit more conducive to snow than the models suggested?

Plenty of flakes in Merrion St too.

A real wet chill in Tullamore since 12. Pure snow weather. Will be very surprised if we don't get some by evening. High ground outside Tullamore.

Hopefully I get some in my direction I'm in Tinahely.

I'd say you will but no guarantees, it's very near you
Wind is now nnw here so directly off the hills
Precipitation is very light though

SnizzleSky

Currently 4.1C (DP: 1.9C) in Aughrim, Wicklow. 160asl. Rain. not a flake to be seen. I would say there is a plaster of it on the nearby mighty Lug. Snow from two weeks ago was still visible in shaded locations yesterday!!!

Fantastic too see folks getting snow and the 528 dam isn't over us yet.

Yep appears to be colder than predicted. Some inland parts here are only 1c

Interesting temperature profile in Clonmel this morning, all night around 10 to 11 degrees and suddenly at 5am it fell rapidly within an hour to 6 degrees and continuing to fall. Now it's 4 degrees and dewpoint 1.7. After a morning of heavy rain its cleared off.

Wet snow falling now at N81 Baltinglass, temperature dipped to 1.3 degrees, was 2.0 degrees 20 minutes ago.

The temperature @ N81 Tallaght has dipped nicely in the last hour, air temperature sitting at 1.5 degrees now, that rain may turn to snow soon enough in that area.
