Potential Snow Tonight/Thursday Morning (south/midlands/east)

    Right just thought i'd start a thread.

    This is just a hunch at this point but a developing situation.

    Currently a front is developing and representation on the radar improving over the southwest.

    As temperatures fall as the night progresses as cold air moves back in from the northwest and nighttime cooling reaches its peak it is more than possible that a period of snow will push northeast through the early hours of the morning.


    Look out your window during the early AM tomorrow.

    Suggestion of a little snow coming into south Leinster spreading northeast.

    Yes, I think snow is likely for a time in the midlands and East this morning given the parameters which are, just about, the right side of marginal. In fact with temperatures at freezing, or a little below, when precip arrives could be a supprise covering. Precipitation could last till 12pm tomorrow on the East coast but clearing most areas during sun rise.

    Temperatures need around 1.25c knocked off them in the greater Dublin region (IMBY perspective!) for precip to fall as snow.

    Precip holding together reasonably well.

    In my view the problem is not temperature but dew points. Temperature at DUB atm is 2C. Cold enough but preferably should be colder but not as cold as it would have to be because the wind is off shore so, if you like, like Tuesday we could get snow when we probrably should not get snow! Dew Points only reach 0C for a short time between 5 and 11am on the East coast. For my very local area I need a good bit yet knocked off the temperature and dew points being practically on the beach!

    Precip is looking quite expansive now. Don't see many reports of snow so think I will call it a night and maybe have a sneak look out the window about 3am. Good night!

    Alot of the time it is a heavy fall of small flakes, very similar to footage you'd see on Documentarys made in Alaska or Siberia. The flakes don't really flutter about, like as if they're in a hurry to get down and cover the ground!
