    A weather advisory = a weather forecast. Seems unnecessary unless its heralding a very severe storm or something.

    It's either sufficiently bad for a warning or it isnt? Is a weather advisory like a pale yellow warning now?

    Advisorys are generally issued in advance of weather warnings for systems in which there is uncertainty about intensity of wind/snow/rain/cold.

    Personally I think it's Met Éireann's way of covering the bases as in 48 hrs notice to something that could potentially be more worthy of an advisory in due course.

    To be honest I feared this last weekend in Dublin 5 and we ended up getting pasted in snow. It can can be such a fine line with some parts of Dublin getting a lot of snow and 10km away getting nothing. Often we would get less or nothing while west Dublin gets pasted

    How many times have we experienced that before. Anyway if it means we get the real deal (fingers crossed) in a weeks time then I will put up with it!

    The latest Met Éireann HARMONIE high resolution run has the band of rain extending over much of Ireland on Sunday morning with some parts of the northeast of Ulster staying mostly dry. They issue a advisory ahead of possible weather elements meeting the criteria for warnings to be issued. Most likely a rainfall warning will be issued for some southern parts of Ireland on Saturday morning and snow ice warnings been issued for parts of Connacht, Ulster and Leinster for Sunday.

    You're far too touchy for an internet forum. People aren't trying to annoy you, you're just taking offence at everything.

    if the charts that Sleety Rain posted come off then tomorrow might be the worst day of the winter here, not looking forward to it!

    GFS 12z backing off the idea of snow this weekend, more cold rain/sleet conditions.

    24-574UK.GIF?29-12

    tomorrows potential looks alot more messy.

    Sunday see's a band of rain push north with some sleet or wet snow on the leading edge but it quickly turns back to cold rain.

    54-574UK.GIF?29-12

    GFS models show no lying snow anywhere tomorrow but a transitional skim/dusting in the north-west on Sunday evening.

    ECM back to showing heavier snowfall than the previous run, showing more wintry weather initially further S on this run also and carrying the front further N and prolonging the risk of snow in the NW and N counties into Monday.

    Big rainfall accumulations along Southern counties.

    Don't worry, we have onshore easterly winds gusting to 80 km/h combined with rain and near spring tides to content with tomorrow.

    How wonderful.

    Connaught, parts of Leinster , maybe down as far as parts of Tipperary and edging into Northern counties look to have potential for snow on Sunday. GFS bit of an upgrade tonight would reckon.

    The colder airmass not budging much as the front advances tomorrow, stalls, retreats and dissipates . It would appear that right at it's Northern edge where it meets the cold air could see wintry weather tomorrow, sleet and some snow possible would reckon, further South only on the highest ground perhaps.

    A lot of people are calling this a short spell but I have been observing this.. all of the predicted pushes from the Atlantic, have so far ended up further south with each run.

    I think we *may* but in for a longer cold spell.

    WRF has really upped the snow potential for Sunday into Monday and yes Nqp15hhu there is the potential of a substantial amount of snow later Monday night or early Tuesday morning in the Northern third of the country.

    The funny thing is this cold spell could yet deliver more snow to some areas than the fi chase for a more sustained cold spell.

    Was thinking that myself.

    ARPEGE 18Z now looking more active too for Sunday and bringing it into Monday also. On the 12Z showing a big dump of snow early Tuesday from the midlands up to Northern counties and continuing there into Weds ???

    Also to note that ARPEGE has a warm bias so when it is showing snow potential the possibility certainly rises. Not great 850 hPa temps but the pressure is low enough.

    High Spring tides early Monday morning along the South coast might prove problematic with swollen rivers trying to drain into the sea.

    Thats true many of the heavier falls of snow in this country come from not very notable cold spells. Doesn't always take very cold weather. I think many have underplayed things also. Interesting watching these runs over the past few days. Haven't really been watching the end of next week i am more focused on this weekend and the start of the new week.

    ECM 18Z upgrade again, decent amounts now showing up on the charts.

    Initial snow in parts may be followed by rain so some areas will see snow washed out perhaps but good chance of quite large areas with snow on the ground lasting into Monday would have thought.
