    If I can stay awake, I’ll report from North Leitrim.

    I’ve probably jinxed our chances of snow by typing that!

    Status Yellow - Rainfall warning for Connacht, Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Longford, Louth, Wicklow, Offaly, Westmeath, Meath, Clare, Limerick, Tipperary

    UPDATE:
    A spell of rain tonight into Monday morning will lead to accumulations of between 20 to 25mm, with higher totals possible in upland areas.

    The rain is likely to be preceded by a period of sleet and snow in parts of Connacht, Ulster and north Leinster, with hazardous driving conditions for a time, before turning to rain later.

    As the ground is saturated at the moment and river levels are elevated the combined effect of rainfall and snow melt may lead to some localised surface and river flooding.

    Valid: 20:00 Sunday 23/02/2020 to 08:00 Monday 24/02/2020

    Issued: 13:57 Sunday 23/02/2020

    Met office uk warning

    An area of rain moving into Northern Ireland during Sunday night turns to sleet and snow during the early hours of Monday before turning back to rain again from the south during the course of the morning. The bulk of accumulations will be above 100 to 200 metres with a chance that above 200 metres some places may see 5 to 10 cm snow. At lower levels, snow cover will be patchier with small temporary accumulations and slushy deposits. During the afternoon, strong winds may then lead to some drifting of lying snow over hills and mountains.

    coastal areas of the west and eastern counties likely to be rain all the way. For parts of the north midlands and north-west probably starting off as light rain, then a period of sleet or wet snow then a quick transition to rain again.

    Inland areas of NI and high ground probably snow much of the time, but even in those areas the mild will break through, melting most of what falls away from high ground.

    Drizzle in Letterkenny on and off, was up around 300-400m a while ago and also raining. Lying snow level around 550m so can't say I'm overly optimistic for anything more than slush tonight but we'll see what happens

    Given its distance from all 3 radars, the precip in east Mayo will be more at upper levels and may have evaporated before reaching the ground.

    Snow warning for Knock: 3-5 cm up to 5 am.
