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

[jules216]

was monitoring all short term forecasters today closely and non had me snowing at all,worst was yr.no had plus 3 and rain in morning update,gfs,aprege,nothing,closest were euro4 at 11 oclock update,even that was showing snow only at tops of Wicklow mnts, the weather channel on mobile app started to show snow symbols for 7pm at 6pm and it snowed here roughly between 8 and 10, kids will be so happy if it doesn't melt untill morning,totally unexpected event here at quite low altitude of 200mts

[Juuyoku]

Just rubbish rain here :/

[gary1365]

Yup raining here now too

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Think things are looking better for us this week,  I fancy that Thursday could be an interesting day, also is Gfs starting to move towards the euro models???

[Neiller22]

I'm still not happy with output Pom. I think we will miss the worst of it. Will be colder but not overly cold and I think it's rain for us and snow for most of everybody else. Just didn't get the luck on this one. 

[Sperrin]

Looks like it Pom. Checked the ecm 850s for the week ahead and the uppers remain at -4 or below from 1am on tuesday right through to the weekend. Hopefully we get some precipitation engagement with the right atmospheric conditions to produce the goods. What's the thoughts on Thursdays system? What direction is it moving in from, if it comes in from SW we could miss it in the north.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Personally on am imby perspective I think you and me could do well out of Thursday Sperrin, subject to change lol, Neiller you could be right about your area but I have a sneaky suspicion that the cards could fall well for everyone 

[Neiller22]

Hope so Pom. Still way to far out to be talking bout snow chances. 5 hrs beforehand is a good call. Ha ha 

[BornFromTheVoid]

-0.6C overnight here, coldest night of the winter so far. 

As for the models, a definite upgrade in the last few runs. I still think Wednesday night could be good for much of the country, especially anywhere with a little elevation.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Sally Gap in Wicklow closed due to snow,  nice 

[bobbarley]

Looking at the models last night, Dublin and the Wicklow area seemed to have the lowest dew points and 2m temps of anywhere in Ireland so hopefully could do well in this set up

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Liking the snow symbols from Thursday next on the meto

[Su Campu]

Plenty of thunderstorm potential off our coast this evening. Blue and Red show cloudtops cooling by <10 and >10 °C/hr, respectively. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Class graphics Sure. WTF is with the models today,  crazy stuff, seriously mind ffing stuff lol. Suddenly the 18z is picking up the cold batten

[Neiller22]

You couldn't make it Pom  !! its safe to say anything could happen. Only problem is its the dreaded Pub run! But for once lets hope its onto something. Cannot understand the complete turnaround

[bobbarley]

I'm glad I'm back to work tomorrow, will stop me religiously following every gfs and ecm run!

I find it hard to believe the GFS is now backing the UKMO. Complete turnaround. If this keeps showing then it not on prolongs the cold but with highs building in to Scandi then there could be an easterly down the line to. All to play for. Interesting day of model watching on the way tomorrow.

Did anyone watch the BBC NI weather for the week ahead, Angie was being a tad cryptic regarding Thursday night into Friday,  let's hope we get something good out of it....

 

 

 

 

[mountain shadow]

I've not posted for a while but I basically don't have a clue what's going to happen next week.

Lampost watching it is, more accurate than the models.

[ronan]

FI is probably sitting at around Wednesday morning. Could be an interesting end to the week. 

[booferking]

Honestly i can,t remember the models flipping so much ECM backs down to go in line with GFS then GFS 18h pulls a rabbit out of the hat.

Model of the week for me is UKMO it has not flipped like the rest and has stayed pretty solid only for slight downgrades on the northerly  its the one to watch at the minute.

[snowmore]

Snow on the Wicklow mountains!

Every time I post that crap shows up ha

Met Eireann using the S word for tonight 

 

Tonight

Cold, windy and blustery tonight with strong and gusty northwest winds which will be up to gale force in northern coastal and hilly areas. Quite showery too, with some heavy and locally wintry showers at times, especially over northern and western areas, where some sleet and snow can be expected.

Oi who you calling crap lol, good to see Bomber, now time to see what's going on in the model thread.. 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Well now, Gfs continues it's backtrack,  it's going to be cold us in the West alternating between -4 and -6 uppers, you guys in the East mostly around -8, cold and dry the order of the day do we think???  We still await GP's torpedo to strike on top of this!!
