Ireland Regional Weather Discussion

Certainly looking good and GFS keeping that snow line over the North for quite some time. Don't expect it to play out like that but. Also a front coming South on Tueaday now showing some back edge snow.

[mountain shadow]

Still no concensus on where the snow will be next week.

Could be Portrush, could be Skibbereen and everywhere in between.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

 mountain shadow at least we are still in the game!

[ronan]

 ForeverPomeroysnow Exactly and only 4 days out. Could be a real interesting need to the week

[Weegaz]

Some places on the island could get buried, the Dublin snow shield might even get smashed to prices @Rocheydub

Again no concensus on the 0z with 100s of miles difference between the possible snow line on the models.

The GFS favours towards Ulster with UKMO favouring towards Munster,  the ECM in between,  so if I lived in Central Ireland,  I think that may be the sweet spot.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

 mountain shadow this is gonna be another one of those too far North/South/West events for me again isn't it! Hopefully some folk get something decent. 

[mountain shadow]

Looking good for Thursday on latest forecast..

 

[ronan]

GFS still favouring Ulster as the snow line and has done for some time now

 Weegaz I've holes in my knees from keeling down to v various God's and Deities!!! Oh and dislocated fingers from keeping them crossed!!!

[mountain shadow]

Incredibly,  with only 48 hours to go, still no agreement on how far North the snow gets on Thursday. 

Central Ireland looks guaranteed a really good amount though.

[Ever Hopeful]

It’s nuts. Metcheck have gone from nothing to this for the weekend and a snow event of some kind from Wed onwards. Others showing sleet, others rain, others clear skies. Think it’s a check-out-the-window forecast week 

[mountain shadow]

 Ever Hopeful Metcheck get their information from the GFS i think, si it changes every 6 hours.

Met Office have just updated their warnings to include Northern Ireland!

Just a warning though, I think it will be sleet at sea level in Carrick, if the precipitation arrives at all.

[Ever Hopeful]

Yeah it’s mostly sleet we get here even in a good spell. Can head up the hill tho  

 

hoping some peeps get fun

6z GFS has 48 hours of snow for some parts of the Irish Midlands and Ulster on Thursday and Friday.

Here's hoping....I'll never forget the time I watched a front stall and pivet 5 miles south of me ....gutted

Automated MetO forecast snowing 48 hrs of precipation for my location, mixed snow and rain. Will be an interesting period from tomorrow evening right through to Friday, plenty of lamppost watching

 

[Rocheydub]

Best of luck everyone. Remember, send photos and videos of the white stuff! I haven't seen lying snow since 2018, 6 long years!

[mountain shadow]

I think we should be prepared for let down tomorrow. 

It looks more of a slush fest than snow fest and for lower ground rain for sure.

Even for me at 400ft ASL it looks slushy. 

[Juuyoku]

I'm not expecting too much from this either but happy to be proven wrong!  

[na52]

Got to head over glenshane tomorrow so I know I should at least see something....right......RIGHT

I think the weather warnings should be for rain tomorrow, not snow.

Looks very wet and miserable.
