Temperature after increasing to 2 degC, humidity down to 79% here in N.Cork ... Good or bad sign I wonder?

That's good. Temps were predicted to be around 4C and they haven't climbed above 2C for the most part. At least in my location.

Maq, do you know how often the UKMO high res rolls out? Same as the global?

For what it's worth, Raintoday forecast is now not very good for anything south of louth.

The runs are 03Z, 09Z, 15Z, 21Z. The 15Z should be out around 6pm I think, only saw it for the first time last night.

Anyone know what the M2 bouy is doing dew point wise, cant find link with updated data.
Am not liking the way the dew point is trending here (red line) :-

So where's this gathering plume going? W? WNW? NW? Will it gain energy over the Irish sea? Will it lose it? All questions will answered in the next couple of hours! :pac::pac:

Yeah it's bitterly cold here all day long, 2 deg is the highest is been all day. I'm south west of Mallow so if its snowing in Ballydesmond we should be expecting it soon enough.

dacogawa

Nice big persip heading east from north Wales on the radar now, hope it holds together...

Rougies

I'm not sure what to make of this frontal precip in the Irish sea. Could be more of a hindrance than a help. It will interfere with the formation of streamers (in the next couple of hours anyway), and is likely to have lower DPs involved with it too. Hmm.

noobsnow95

Getting very excited now, hoping precipitation falls as snow in Limerick still have a gut feeling we will see rain or sleet

It's only very light stuff on the radar at the moment. Long way to go.

Its connected to the low over southern Britain, so heading NNW.
That's Louth Down and Antrim.

Funzone in red is my hopeforecast:-

Not sure about that, it seems to be caught in an east wind (looks like it the last 30 mins) sure we'll see in an hour or 2!
