Ireland Regional Weather Chat - 20/11/2015 Onward.

Strange one Weegaz. I cant see it snowing and settling much away from high ground. Its a bit of a wishy  washey warning but at least its a chance !

[Weegaz]

we've seen snow 3 times this year at home, not a lot and maybe twice it settled to give a light covering.

The decrease in temps with all the rain could make driving conditions tricky but don't see much in the way of snow occurring.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Yeah I assume it's more from an ice perspective so let's hope for some white stuff too

We'll soon find out Pom, showers heading our direction now in radar, some green in there to

[Neiller22]

Warning for heavy rain in east on Sunday. Def not boring this weather!

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Squally Showers in Dungannon I believe it's to turn more wintry from 6pm onwards 

 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Big big call by Steve Murr on the Model Thread, fingers crossed for him and us!!!!!

[Rocheydub]

Happy new year guys and gals. I've just had the best new years gift ever. Just out of Star Wars, the force awakens. SWEET JESUS THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!

 

[Neiller22]

As much as i enjoy The Chosen One's posts, i think he was out on a limb on this one. 

The models have just not supported an Easterly extending over the UK and Ireland and we are going to fall short.

Encouraging signs of a more amplified Atlantic pattern from mid January which may provide the first widespread low level snow since March 2014.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Well you know my opinion of the south East England obsession on easterlies,  North an North West all the way for me

[Neiller22]

Personally MS I think any cold for our wee country will come from the North possibly Northeast with the usual PM air in between. Could be wrong of course

[BornFromTheVoid]

Passed my driving test a few hours ago in Clonmel, with sleet and hail showers thrown in. Extra reason to celebrate tonight!

Here's how the park in Cahir looks this evening.

This is how it normally is, taken from the park looking back toward where my photo was taken today.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Congratulations on getting your licence Born and future years of safe driving 

[Weegaz]

Extra sore head tomorrow born, good effort.

Not much moisture on the radar at the minute, could be early hours before we see any of the White stuff

Not convinced there will be much moisture around for snow. At least a frost is on the cards, a rare visitor this Winter.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

A decent air frost already,  not convinced about any snow for this area though 

[Sperrin]

Radar looking poor unless showers prep up later in the night.

 

[mountain shadow]

Maybe a few showers in the West Sperrin, not much likely East of Lough Neagh.

[Abyss]

Just had a light isolated snow shower. Cars a tad white but that's about it

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Long time since I seen Stormforce 10 post on here, you still about bud???

[Neiller22]

Right. I'm away to a party. Hoping for better output when I check in the morn. Happy new year to everyone. Njoy your night 

[Abyss]

Latest shower was just sleet. I'm low down tho.  Happy New year

[Sperrin]

Just spotted this on the RTE website, a new Irish weather forecasting model:

An unexpected ground frost at half 7 when I was heading out to work but it looks like theres an awful shortage of precipitation of any kind  on the radar but fingers crossed lol.
