Only goes out 48 hours.

Hard to know about the weekend yet. Nothing nailed at the moment.

Where theres hope and potential I will be happy! Maybe just maybe we might get lucky down south and get an 80's event.

I could really do with snow from this and not rain, cos the amount forecast could flood my site again.

Wales is in for a right pasting tomorrow, Would take a miraculous turn for me down here in Wexford to get anything out of tomorrows system but I believe it's just the start of something big.

Looking forward to the 12zs.

I presume you realise the Met Office only forecast for UK and Northern Ireland? They don't issue warnings for the Republic of Ireland?

The Beeb at lunchtime graphics suggest alot of snow here tommorow in the N and E. Certainly a big upgrade compared to what they were showing this time yesterday in regards to this part of the world.

Could the cold front move westwards more or is thus basically the best we can expect??

Very exciting!
Dusting off the dust from the snow boots, yoo hoo!:D:D:D:D:D





At times like this though I do miss Su Campu and his vast knowledge.....hope he's lurking somewhere!

Unlikely thought there may be small changes. Tomorrow is more a north and east event on current forecasts. From Saturday on offers more hope at this stage outside these areas.

Met Eireann have removed the warning for next week, well, replaced it with a one liner !

Next week: There is a high risk of a very cold week ahead with some severe frosts. Some falls of snow possible also especially early in the week. However details are highly uncertain.

Probably because of the ECM downgrade. Still a lot of uncertainty.

So this is the start of the downgrades I take it .... ok coat in hand ready for the slideeeeeeee!!!!!!!

NAE will be crucial, some support for a milder sector moving back as the small low development stalls over Ulster.

Hopefully this will be ruled out on the NAE 12z.

The strong, cold easterly for early next weekend looks a lot less impressive.

Would you hope that the 12z NAE would pretty much give us the likely story WC ?

BEASTERLY

This mornings ECM was not great for cold at all! Only brief encounters with air with 850hpa temps of -5 or lower. Can be seen here: http://en.vedur.is/weather/shipping/atlantic/#type=temp

GEM poor enough too in the short term for temps, good synoptics though. UKMO the coldest of the lot for Sunday

So its a downgrade now? To good to be true last night.

0Z was just slackier, messier, less impressive. Still good overall in terms of the bigger picture since details several days away and will change again anyway, one way or the other.

I think the word "downgrade" should be banned around here to prevent mass hysteria.

But have we not got colder air from the east meeting the air flow from the west over Ireland?

Yes,but only on the frontal boundary.
Wrong side of that and it's a tropical 5 to 8c.

This isn't the ramp thread, downgrades are likely, imo most areas of Ireland won't see lying snow in the next 48 hours with North East being the exception and higher areas in the East. Beyond that there is great potential/risk of a more widespread snow but that's too far away for any certainty.

Be realistic and you won't be too disappointed.

The pattern over the last week seems to be downgrades in the morning and upgrades in the evening, anyone know why this is the case?

A mischievous bomb imho.

Right, any 12z predictions ?

Myself I am going for a westward shift in the cold on the GFS, ECM and NAE
