WINTER WEATHER 2013/2014 - See Mod Note First Post

Oneiric 3

Both HIRLAM and GFS have a slight snow potential for high ground in NW & N as that (potentially) active trough passes over later tonight. 925 mb (approx 750-800m) temps not great: GFS 03z chart (red = 'snow potential')

Eh, just in case the snow gods are listening in...

A further warning has been issued from met eireann for Donegal with an Orange status and states rain will fall as snow tonight and stay falling as snow above 500ft followed by wintry showers. 3-6cm possible.

I presume the east is going to escape the wintry weather yet again?

It'll most likely be in the hills.

No where in Scandinavia below freezing, everywhere west of Moscow above freezing - just about sums up "winter" 13/14.
PS. oh, I see a -1c in the mountains in Norway.

unfortunately yes, maybe a few flurries on mountaintops if there is precipitation around. We need an easterly for anything worthwhile to happen.

I'm going to take a punt that you have lying snow by Wednesday morning !!:D

Dublin usually sees a few stray showers in these situations, sometimes none at all, with the heavier stuff dying out over the Naas area. However, with a stronger sun and v unstable air I can see there being a few decent showers tomorrow which is still nice to see.

As other posters have said, I think that higher areas of Mayo, Sligo and Donegal will start seeing some interesting action even before midnight.

Tomorrow is looking seriously cold with a good bit of lying snow too!!

I hope your right! I would even settle for 1 dusting at this stage so that at least I can say ive finally seen some lying snow this winter:)

noobsnow95

Whst are the chances of lying snow in Limerick tonight?

ninebeanrows

Here is the latest prediction for lying snow Wednesday 6am from high res EURO4

murdig

Whats the chances of snowfall in Kerry?

kerrycork13

Murdig. Looks like there is a good chance on higher ground. The likes of ballydesmond and hilly areas who usually get it when its marginal. Maybe not in the initial band this evening but in the showers that follow on after

finnbob123

i think that cork might miss out again I think this best shows the magical shield

Oneiric 3

Obviously, it's not going to happen.

Weathering

Level 1? Met.ie have orange warning of snow for Donegal and yellow for Connacht etc. What do you guys think? Imagine a orange snow warning for Dublin it would be nuts in here just goes to show how much of a happening place Donegal is

Nabber

These snow events are little teasers that keep us fools thinking the mother load will come. But no lying snow and no ground frost in Dublin 4, I don't think I'll see snow on the ground this winter.

Some storms tho! Looking forward to Wed/Thur storm.

murdig

When should we expect anything round the south west?

I cannot wait :-)

Finally get some use out of all that snow gear I've bought in lidl over the years......

patneve2

IMO precipitation might even start off as sleet/snow straight away in places like Knock Airport

Tom Cruises Left Nut

Netweather extra radar is picking up sleet showers in that rain mass over Mayo

kerrycork13

Murdig. Possibly sleet on higher ground from 9 on and when that clears around midnight expect sleet/snow showers to follow on a couple of hours after and continuing for most of tom. 80per cent chance of moderate snowfall accum in hilly areas I reckon and possible 50 percent at low level possibly accumilation for small period.

Reiketsu

Is there a chance of anything interesting with the current band of rain approaching or will it be later on before stuff happens?

kerrycork13

Depends on where you are and high up you are. Def north west and possibly mon and cavan most likely
