Ireland - Regional Discussion

[stormforce 10]

looks like the north and north west of ireland are gonna do well for snow again come thursday night into friday.

with -5 to -7 850hpa air over the country, snow could fall to quite low levels and could spread quite far inland due to the strength of the wind. some accumulations and disruption is certainly a possiblity. here is a link below of the 850hpa pressure chart.

exciting times ahead.

More thunder and heavy hail showers here tonight! Gotten very stormy in the past hour as well

Evening folks, or should I say morning. Wind quite gusty this eve and some hefty showers around. Some very exciting weather coming up for those in the Northern 1/3 of Ireland, potentially very severe too with not only severe gales or stormforce winds, but snow also a good possibility. Even further South may get some action from this with the possibility of some further strengthening over the next 24hours.

Very rough night here definitely gale force wind, if tomorrow is going to be more stormy God help us!!

It's very windy and wet here in the Borders this morning.

None of the weather forecasts so far this morning on TV are going past tomorrow evening. They have be advising on the storm for Scotland but no mention of snow yet even though the meto have warnings out.Could it be that they just aren't certain of how much or how severe it's going to be yet?

Yes Ronan I think this may be the case, it just shows how hard it is to get ahandle on how the weather will pan out in the immediate future never mind LRFs

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Oh we just had a small snow shower, some small bits of snow still left around the ditches perhaps waiting for more......

[ronan]

Had really heavy hailstones here which has left everything white! Snowing lightly now! Time for my daily drive over the Glrnshane! Could be interesting!

Amber warning out for parts of NI & Red warning for scotland.. Looking bad!

Our warning has now been reissued and extended until saturday.

I'm in a very interesting location for tommorows winds. I'm only a few hundred metres from a Northern facing coast being on the Southern mouth of Belfast lough. I'm looking forward to getting some breaking wave photos over the sea walls. Gfs would put me under WNW gusts of about 80-90mph.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Well folks tomorrow into Friday is looking very extreme!!

[Baltic Regions]

We had our weather alerts emailed in work on Monday for this boy and it certainly has progressed since then.

Serious wind last night and same again for tommorrow!

Batten down the hatches!

no way not in bangor?

[The watcher]

no way not in bangor?

Thats what gust charts currently show, although that'll be for the non-sheltered areas. It's scary.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Can't say that I am all that fussed in severe gale force winds especially in a high expose area in which I live.

The chicken Coop doesn't like it either seeing as it got blown to bits a couple of weeks agao, that reminds me I must tie it down!

[Juuyoku]

Getting a bit windy out there as it is! Feeling pretty cold in it too!

[ronan]

What's the storey with s is over the next couple of days? Have we a good chance of seeing some or will it be mostly wind and rain?

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

I would say we should see the Snow from tomorrow night into Friday Ronan - could be a fun weekend...

[ronan]

Here's hoping bud!! I could end up sleeping on the Glenshane tomorrow night! Lol

[The watcher]

One thing I've just noticed on the charts is the strong Jetstreak and numerous convergence zones over a good bit of Ireland as a whole. I wouldn't rule out some exceptional gusts under that situation...but it'll be very isolated, should it happen at all. Fleeting heavy showers, turning wintry later tommorow. It is absolutely freezing here.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Hope you watched the weather on newsline Ronan - its looking good from tomorrow evening onwards - infact I would expect you to see it before me - snow that is
