Feb 29th - Snowfall/Wintry Conditions

I think at this stage even north Leinster and the midlands will be rain. Dew points are far too high almost everywhere except for parts of Northern Ireland.



temperatures also too high, 4 to 8C across most of the country, with milder air moving in. Inland areas of Ulster might still do it.

rain has arrived here now and starting to get heavier.

Steady rain now. Maybe it will only be Ulster that sees snow out of this.

even Ulster may struggle. Coastal parts most likely rain. Inland areas of NI and high ground in Donegal may still get it. Scotland seems to be the place to be for this one.

the very mild air is starting to arrive, already 11C in parts of Kerry.

All the models are predicting the mid level airs to get cooler further North later. I am wondering that what the models are predicting is frontal boundary forcing coupled with evaporative cooling. With the advancing and developing system the cold front is catching up with the warm front and as it reaches the colder air in the upper third of the country forcing the air to rise. The charts are showing quite a bit of shear and lift as the front moves in proper over the Northern counties.

I think the models are too close to be dismissing them at this stage.

Plenty of heavy rain on the way in overnight too across the country.
