    There is a real risk now of significant snowfall in the southern half of the country on Saturday. 5 - 10 cm's.

    Too tired to look but what wind direction?

    Does no sea breeze mean Dublin 4 will get any snow please?

    Even if snow does fall from the sky in D4, it's HIGHLY unlikely to stick, due to a combination of urban heat island effect, height above sea level being more or less 0m and the fact that it's a busy area with plenty of foot and road traffic meaning no time for light (to moderate at best) snow to settle given the air temperatures at the time. I would say most of Dublin city will just see rain, maybe a bit of sleet or a few bits of wet snow from time to time however it's still not certain where the precipitation will be nor what the intensity will be, country wide.

    5-10 cms? Now hang on, everyone needs to cool the jets(tream) a bit, there is nothing in the Uppers and DP forecast to suggest anything more than minor high level accumulations of snow and cold rain and hail at lower levels across the southern half of the island.

    The latest from Met Eireann.

    Blustery this evening and overnight with fairly widespread showers and more persistent rain in southern
    counties for a time. The lengthiest dry and clear spells will occur in eastern counties. The showers will
    turn increasingly wintry later in the night with localised falls of sleet and snow.     Cold and turning
    frosty later with the risk of ice and some lying snow.     Minimum temperatures ranging -1 to +3 degrees
    in fresh to strong westerly winds with gales on Atlantic


    Tomorrow

    Saturday will start cold and frosty with scattered wintry showers and some lying snow. There will
    be further wintry showers during the day, frequent in the southwest, west and north with the
    continued risk of snowfall. The lengthiest dry and bright spells will occur over the eastern half
    of the country. Highest temperatures of 3 to 6 degrees in fresh to strong southwest winds.

    Any chance of someone ratcheting up the temperature a bit. I'm coming home this weekend after being in 30-35C for the last 3 weeks.

    you might be in luck with milder temperatures in about a weeks time. This weekend and most of next week will be staying in the single digits.

    Keep in mind the radar is only guessing the precip, and is often wrong.

    The GFS soundings show things on the right side of marginal for the precipitation to fall as snow, at least at nightime. The sounding below, for around the Portlaoise area, right in the middle of that blob of precip at midnight tomorrow, shows the wetbulb below zero and temperature just on zero. Clicking at other locations within that blob shows slight variations, some better, some worse, but this one is a good indication of the average.

    The Arpege soundings on Meteociel are showing nothing in the way of snow at all, but this does have a slight warm bias at times, I've found. The WRT soundings aren't loading for some reason. So right now we only have the GFS to go on, which is not something I'd be putting the house on, but we'll see how it goes.

    It was a joke.... I personally appreciate their willingness to make an early call on things. One of the few who does.
