    The charts above show it missing us by a good bit
    Hope they come to fruition!

    I haven't been keeping up much, but is this secondary low going to hit us in the south?

    Interesting that BBC Weather and the Met Office are both showing a fair bit of snow for tomorrow in many parts of Ireland. ECMWF is also in agreement as is HIRLAM and Arpege, to some extent. And obviously the GFS parallel is up for a decent dumping :D

    Seems like very strange output but there is cross model agreement so I guess it's something to keep an eye on.

    It's the definition of a wet Saturday here in cork. Rotten morning. Even my dog who normally can't wait for his walks on the weekend is taking a pass.

    Status Yellow - Rainfall warning for Munster and Leinster
    Heavy rain during Sunday will give accumulations of 25 to 35 mm.

    Valid: Sunday 03 March 2019 06:00 to Sunday 03 March 2019 18:00

    Issued: Saturday 02 March 2019 11:00

    Met Eireann

    Tomorrow
    Sunday will be a cold and wet day for much of the country. Rain will develop along southern coasts then push northwards, and become widespread. The rain will turn heavy in the afternoon and possibly turn wintry later as well, with some snow over the hills and mountains. Light winds in the morning will become fresh to strong from a variable direction later as the centre of Storm Freya tracks eastwards over Munster. The strongest winds from Storm Freya will be off the south and east coast of the country. Temperatures of 6 to 8 degrees in the morning will fall to 1 to 5 degrees in the afternoon.

    Some snow accumulation charts for tomorrow evening. HIRLAM not showing much nor ICON or the GFS. Looks like Hills and Mountains for sure. Looks like sleet and wet snow. Temps look like 0 to 1 to 2C where snow has fallen into Monday morning so some tricky roads possible Monday morning with snow accumulations on higher ground possibly slow to melt.

    One way or the other a lot of precipitation tomorrow, looks like sleet or sleet / rain mix for many and wet snow on high ground.

    Heads up for a bit of snow at elevations over 150 meters and some inland parts of south Leinster and Munster. Some wintriness to lower levels as well.

    Mostly rain though and the associated flood risk already discussed.

    AROME slightly higher resolution of Meteorites charts above going for sleet or snow across much of the Leinster area early tomorrow night as the wind goes off shore as the trailing occlusion exits in to the Irish sea.

    March will very quickly make us forget this ever happened.

    Heaters will be fired up nationwide again from tomorrow.

    This may not be a joke, I've a feeling we will be seeing flakes this month. March could well turn out to be the most unsettled month since last November and the coldest since March 2018, the first taste of winter for some eastern regions which really never really got any winter. Noting major will happen but the extreme mild of the past 3/4 months is over for now.

    Yeah but it wasn’t a potentially dangerous period? Tomorrow a risk of flooding primarily and maybe snowy in higher ground.
