    This is going to be interesting to track, some nice heavy snow for Wicklow Mountains is likely, lower levels I wouldn't try to call snow line yet but further north, the better the chance.

    The forecast on BBC after the ten o'clock news showed snow moving up over Ireland Sunday night/Monday morning. This has been on their forecast for the past 3 or 4 days. No mention on RTE forecast until last night.

    This is the first time I couldn’t be bothered with snow.
    Up in Armagh In the caravan so we’ll have to cut the weekend short and return Sunday evening rather than risk staying to Monday and getting into bother.

    Seems like the onshore wind is ruining the chance of snow for the east coast again. Monday looks exceptionally cold for the time of year in parts of the North with a high of 1c in April!

    STATUS YELLOW

    Weather Advisory for Ireland(update)
    Heavy rain and strong easterly winds will become widespread on Sunday evening and night, continuing into Monday morning. The rain turning increasingly to sleet as it spreads north with some snow on hills, and possibly at lower levels also in northern parts.

    Further rain, sleet and hill snow for much of Monday in the far north. Elsewhere turning less cold with rain gradually giving way to showers.

    The snow level will be rising all the time through Monday morning so it looks like transitional snow to rain at the very most away from windward coasts. Very wet with heavy periods of rain in many areas.

    Hirlam shows the Wicklow mountains could get a dumping during the small hours of Monday morning making some roads impassable for a time.

    Hmmm. Any estimation of snow line?


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,370 ✭✭✭✭Kermit.de.frog


    Above 200m but rising all the time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,668 ✭✭✭SleetAndSnow


    Very wet and starting to get windy here on the west Cork coast since about 10am now, some heavy enough bursts of rain. Wasn't expecting this to come in for another while!


  • Registered Users Posts: 465 ✭✭Mr Bumble


    Heavy shower of something white in Delgany on the sea ward side of Bellevue Hill. Usually if it's marginal, we get rain......

    Looks wintry for a time with rain following later in the night into early Monday morning in the Northern half of the country as the front moves into cold air but milder air quickly following. Some parts of the North look to remain cold and am wondering if there could possibly be lying wet snow there into Monday night ( probably over 200m asl ).

    Temp dropping here near Tralee, now at 5.8C down from 6.9C. A light shower gone through, overcast and dull.

    Non stop rain since about 10/10:30am here on the west Cork coast. It's gotten heavier as the day went on with the winds picking up an awful lot. Also directly across from the ocean so can hear that bashing against the shore.

    Still dry and a nippy icy wind out here on the west coast,


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 4,466 Mod ✭✭✭✭mickger844posts


    11.2mm for the event here in Waterford City. All rain but temp has dropped to 3.0c. Lots of snow up the Comeragh Mountains i would expect but may get all washed away as temps rise later.

    Just wondering, is the rain meant to get heavier over night? Just saw that the yellow warning kicked in at 6pm, but it's been heavily raining down here since about 10
