Ireland Regional Weather Discussion

Thats what i like to hear folks!! So all models in agreement bow for next week?

[Weegaz]

This is pretty good alignment, if not better, than what the gfs is showing. The esembles showing snow from 12th to

[Sperrin]

Starting to get a bit excited, although I made the classic error in mentioning to some of my family that we could see some of the white stuff by the end of next week!!

Hopefully the trend continues on the 18z!

[Weegaz]

Still on course this morning.......maybe get my snow ball throwing arm freed up a bit later

Them poor old South Eastern Englanders though. The wailing and gnashing of teeth has reached new levels.

 

[ronan]

Your right Mountain. I am completely lost reading the Model Thread this morning. How are we looking for next week after the over night runs? I take it things still looking ok?

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Was going to comment on the same thing Mountain/Ronan usual Imbyism which is a shame as you have to wade through some rubbish to get an honest picture. I think we are still ok potentially wise for a couple of days ending next week, after that who cares!!

Not a bad update from the Met Eireann

 

Monday night to Wednesday: Becoming mild again. Mostly cloudy, with occasional rain and drizzle, especially in Atlantic coastal areas, but there will be good dry spells also, with only relatively small amounts of rain in the midlands, east and south. Windy, with mostly moderate to fresh westerly winds, strong at times. 
On Wednesday, a band of more persistent rain will develop in Connacht and Ulster, spreading to other parts, but becoming more patchy. Clearer, much colder conditions will follow by Wednesday night, but with occasional showers, some turning to hail, sleet and snow, especially in the northern half of the country. 

Thursday to Saturday (inclusive): Early indications suggest that it will be very cold and windy, with a mix of bright or sunny spells and showers, some of the showers falling as hail, sleet and snow, especially in the northern half of the country, with a risk of thunder also. On Thursday, there is a risk of more persistent rain and sleet for a time, with hill snow, especially in the southern half of the country and there is a small risk of more persistent rain, sleet and snow moving in from the west and northwest later Friday. Frost will occur at night, especially in areas sheltered from the strong west to northwest winds.

To me the 06z looks better than the past couple of runs with the high not toppling in as quick. So as it stands we have a 3 day cold spell on the cards with plenty of snow showers especially Thursday into Friday?

[sundog]

Just looks like a slushfest to me. The best we have been able to achieve these last few winters is pm air,surely we can do better. The wait for anything really proper goes on.

[ronan]

Maybe so Sundog but my location always does well out of these set ups. Complete IMBY post but give me a north westerly over an easterly any day.

[sundog]

Yes the nw should get a fair number of snow showers and i will still watch with interest,it will should be the most intersting weather we have had so far this winter,probably wont see many showers myself. Still waiting for a proper arctic outbreak.........

Also the russian high is further North and slighty stronger helping more amplification in the Atlantic also helping a more of a nw-se axis.

This would keep us all happy

Not in these post Brexit days, no immigrants allowed.

 

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Booooooooo, back to Scotland with you bud!!

[booferking]

The Russian high is slightly stronger again 117hr so hopefully we see a slight upgrade on this run. Compare below to earlier run

Booferking being dense here but what does that mean, is that a good or a bad thing?

Not at all the stronger the high in russia the more the trough can dig south on nw-se exis into europe.

The uk model is the one we want it spilits the vortex and gives us a nice clean North Westerly and gives a chance for more amplification later on.
