Me too! I can't see it changing. Not forecast too. There are however a few light showers coming out of Wales atm, but, I would not hold my breath - a little snizzle maybe at most.

There are more Dubs watching and posting in the Weather forum than from other parts of the country, hence the Dublin centric feel of the forum. That's just the way it is.

Monday it'll be the real capital

While showers would form anyway, it's surely the IOM responsible for streamers we get?? As in, the fixed thin bands of precip, lasting hours at times. Just like in a beefy N/NW'erly a massive streamer can kick off from the IOM SE tip and head into Wales and UK. Although we'll never properly know unless the IOM disappears, but it definately seems the culprit behind the formation of the streamers and not just rub of the mill showers.

But you'd be far more knowledgeable than me so I'll take your word for it.

See my last post regarding what we on this forum affectionately ( ) call the isle of man shadow.
To answer your last question, if there was no IOM upwind of you,then the extra fetch,along with the absence of atmosphere drying the IOM causes,would mean more showers downwind, if the difference between 850 temps and sea temps was big enough.

Where the showers form is the point along the winds journey that the air has fetched enough moisture.That's what fetch means here.
There's no moisture to fetch on the land mass of the Isle of man but there is a mountain to dry out what's already been fetched meaning a shower famine downwind of it.
The Iom does receive streamers in a northerly if they form off the west of Scotland and make it through the north channel.

That's as layman a further explanation I can give you

Make me laugh...Cork never gets snow. Well hardly ever....dublin has had sleet, snow and blizzards over the past few days with the heavy snow grant it on higher ground.

Not tomorrow, maybe Monday but it depends how far east it gets, at the moment it looks like you'd be just on the edge so could be very light and might just be sleet anyway because of being near the coast.

oooh just to have that distinctly orange sky when it snows and the peaceful silence that the snow brings....

Bit of sleet falling now. Nothing much I'm just 15 mins walk from the sea.(south Wexford)

ongarboy

The wait goes on. Do any of you in areas which were allegedly primed for snow in this spell (even Siobhan on RTE weather saying east cost at risk overnight of showers) but still not getting any (ie lower level Dublin) feel almost annoyed with themselves having invested so much time in the last few days looking at this forum and out the windows/lamposts etc to no avail???

It almost feels like turning up somewhere for a date and the other person doesn't show yet you still wait on and on in the hope they are just late....even though it's clear they stood you up.:D

Nice, never knew about that site, has the hi-res UKMO model there as well

http://www.weatherweb.net/wxwebchartsukmoukpcp.php

Seems to show some light showers along the east coast tonight while the front makes it to the Midlands (and Waterford) tomorrow night albeit with mostly very light precip

Controls are in the bottom left for anyone who can't find them, took me ages to see them!
