    The snow gets going tonight (Sunday night) in the west with showers widespread and turning to snow elsewhere later in the night.

    On Monday more prolonged snow effecting the southern half of the country (perhaps more sleety in some southern counties for a time).

    Do you think we will get a snow warning Kermit? Looks borderline sleet for Cork area though the heavy ppn might swing it...

    It's more marginal further south because it's nearer the warm sector of those fronts, could be rain and sleet but probably only for a time.

    Nowcast.

    Not sure a warning is warranted just yet.

    We are getting some light show in Newbridge, Kildare. I haven’t seen lightening like this in a long time, even longer if we are only talking about Ireland.

    Gfs showing the cold air digging in until around 6am Monday morning, not sure if we'll get snow tonight.

    Analysis at 06Z. The low is 4 hPa higher and a little further west than forecast 24 hours ago. The gradient is slightly less severe, which is why we're not seeing the high winds expected at places like Belmullet, Mace Head and Sherkin. Gust of 59 knots at Sherkin the highest so far this morning. The peak should have already arrived in those parts by now.
