Should I be excited looking at what coming in from the northeast of Dublin and the falling DPs in Howth??

Right now, it's a toss up between looking out the window or watching the Liverpool match???

Watch the match. It's very light precip and won't be here for another while anyway.

DP at Howth now 0.5! :pac::pac: COME ON ALREADY

As feared the showers not up to much but some more getting together behind it so bolds reasonably well for this evening and tonight.

The snow line is 800m, clouds just cleared off Sliabh Mish now and a white cap on it, Dingle is always balmy, not looking good for snow there tomorrow night but you never know.

Its white on Mt Brandon .. indeed about 100m from the top ....

I know im in the huge minority here, but im delighted the showers have stopped cos its giving my drainage pipes a chance to clear alot of flood water

Mr Cumulonimbus

DP risen to 1.4 here in Dundalk ahead of that precipitation coming off the Irish Seaa.

The dp on M2 is .4 up form -.8 an hour ago....

maquiladora

Interesting DP temps on the 12Z NAE coming in from the Atlantic at 39 hours. Down to -11 out there. Only other place on the chart with DP at those values is over the snowfields in Scandi. Must be pretty rare to see -11 over the waters of the usually mild Atlantic?

-10 DP reach southwest Ireland from the west at 45 hours.

Out of curiosity is there precip progged to be in that area at the same time?
Maybe a here's more coming with his piece of Canadian vortex than we ever thought possible or ever saw before?
Is it in or outside the now reliable of say 50 to 60 hrs?

Phone only today so can't look myself

This model can't pick up on the tiny details, and a lot can change even a day in advance. Bear in mind each chart is separated by several hours so even if snow isn't showing over Kerry it might well do in between.

You can tell its not entirely accurate because for some reason even though snow is being shown over most of low lying Munster there is little over the Kerry mountains, which doesn't make much sense.

finnharpsboy

blue over dublin in that

little bess

Very dark clouds starting to come in from the sea over Dublin 5, hopefully we'll see some snow from them

Arriving just behind the heaviest precip.

patneve2

latest radar looking decent enough for Louth, Meath, Dublin - maybe Wicklow later on

hopefully precip wont die out as it nears the coast

BEASTERLY over in the model analysis thread says it could very low humidity causing those DP readings.

patneve2

light graupel shower atm

Scubadevils

Are we still optimistic that it will be sufficiently cold when/if any precip moves in from the Irish sea? Driving into Dublin city centre this morning and the temp on the car was 2.5c, this was around 11.30am - coming home at 2.30pm and it was up to 3.5c at times. It doesn't really feel like the temp is going the right way for this...

Harps

Very low humidity is the cause of the low DP, only 40% behind the front, safe to say there shouldn't be any precip with such dry air



The NAE snowfall charts seem to only indicate wintry precip instead of purely snow falling, if the charts from yesterday morning were right then half the country would have snow cover by now. Accumulation charts might be more accurate but its too cloudy today to check any satellite pics to see if its got snow cover in Ulster right for today, predicting a decent covering for much of the west anyway

Calibos

How embarresing. Looks like the South West is going to have lying snow before Dublin at this rate.
