It's been very wet across the North West. Especially Autumnal since Friday, those torrential downpours that come and go every ten minutes, reminds me of a mobile period in Autumn. Funny thing is I don't even mind lol
-
Both Met office and Irish met mention light rain with small amounts this evening. Absolutely bucketing here,street flooded red and pink echoes on the met office radar. How do they get it so wrong?

Frosty, Warmer to the West and North if I'm reading that ECM correctly? That's unusual if so as it's mostly the opposite.

-9 uppers in to Donegal tomorrow,5pm
By 8pm,-4 dew point
By 11pm the center of the feature has milder air and sadly we take a direct hit, best chance of snow lying would be after dark so its a shame.
Follows on colder behind it and Tuesday night currently has -8 widely across the North. Maybe one last hoorah, it''ll be freezing in the wind regardless,-7 windchill at times for worst affected areas.

Should be some hefty wintry showers next wk. I would presume most of any snow being reserved for the hills,heavy hail showers etc for low levels.
Aye but maybe some stuff to lower areas after dark if its potent enough. Interesting nonetheless

Pretty horrible charts for anyone looking for anything settled in all honesty- I really can't recall such an Atlantic dominated outlook in late February. Not sure where the energy is coming from for all these deep depressions.
Driest Winter that I can remember. Atlantic was bound to find her legs again ha

Is it tracking further South than was shown earlier today? More of Northern England and NI now at risk of some snow?
-
If it tracks further South we could get something. Who knows

Good old January always full of nonsense. Yes a Cat2 5mph short of cat3 hurricane set to make landfall in Ireland around the strength of a cat 1 hurricane wind speed wise is standard fare.
