‪Another lovely sunrise this morning, this time over Carlow.‬

As the sun begins to rise in the East the rain is arriving back in the West. Heavy rain in the West will slowly move across the country through the day but becoming lighter as it does. 10c to 13c in Southerly breeze.

Latest GFS charts persist with heavy rain in Southeast Friday and risk of sleet on higher ground in midlands with some snow possible on mountains.

I’ll have a detailed forecast later. ... See more

Few clips this morning of the Sunrise for any Wexford followers. See https://youtu.be/KAEjin6n9l8 for full quality, it was stunning morning.

Tomorrow will see rain in the West tomorrow moving East across the country in strong breeze.

Thursday will be very breezy too with heavy showers but Southern areas may escape them.

For Friday the latest ECMWF charts shift rain further Northwest into Ireland again with risk of sleet/snow on some higher ground. Still hard to nail down the details though and this will be a now cast setup. I still wouldn’t expect much if any snow on most low levels. Certainly interesting to watch for high ground but most areas will likely be wet and cold!

The weekend then still has some uncertainty but based on latest charts the forecast for Sunday for Dublin Marathon is cold but dry in light Northerly winds, looks near perfect at the moment if cold to start. ... See more

A very unusual setup on the weather models for Friday and the weekend with great uncertainty.

Impossible to forecast with confidence what will happen, risk of heavy rain Friday but it could stay Southeast of us and then risk of very cold but dry weekend.

Latest ECMWF would be good news for Dublin Marathon Sunday with a dry bright day if very cool. Still subject to change though so stay tuned.

As my post last night said, don’t expect any snow. Highest ground may have a chance of seen some but even that is uncertain and it would be mountain peaks like Lugnaquilla maybe.

It seems some people have forecast snow based on a GFS model run that was a clear outlier. While I love snow and the challenge of forecasting it, you need some model agreement to be telling people snow is coming! ... See more

‪What a stunning start to the day with an amazing sunrise here in Wexford.

A nice day ahead, staying dry with the odd sunny spell after a low of -0.6c at my station.‬

I’ll have an update later on the forecast for the weekend after the ensembles come out as still a lot of uncertainty around possible low system Friday which could bring a lot of rainfall and then possibly followed by very cold but dry weekend. ... See more

Latest ECMWF also keeps the heaviest of the rain Friday to the Southeast and avoids risk of major rainfall but this allow much colder air to arrive in for weekend.

If these charts were verify it would be a cold but dry and sunny weekend, near perfect conditions for the Dublin Marathon, let’s hope it holds.

The Ensembles show it as an outlier on ECMWF weather model too so very uncertain. Expect to see big changes on weather apps for the weekend days as it chops and changes and DON’T be expecting snow!!! ... See more

Some very interesting charts for Friday and Saturday with a low system moving up but cold air pushing down. GFS model wants to bring some wintry mix on high ground.

But ECMWF and GFS not in agreement as battle line of cold and mild air forms over Ireland. Stay tuned over coming days for updates on whether cold or mild wins out! ... See more

‪A nice cold morning with a touch of frost in some areas it dropped below 0c at Mount Dillon and Athenry stations and also down to -0.8c at my station.

A nice day ahead with good sunny spells. ‬

A nice sunset on my webcam facing South with a cold night ahead, down to 1c but a nice day ahead once any early fog clears.

‪A lovely morning now across the country as fog and cloud clears.

The good news is you’ll have an extra hour in bed this day next week as the clocks fall back with sunrise goes back to 07:14 next Sunday morning!

Enjoy your Sunday.‬ ... See more

A cool night ahead but mainly dry, a risk of some mist and fog early tomorrow but then a mainly dry day, staying cool though in Northerly breeze.

Cold tomorrow night with risk of fog and frost as temps drop to -1c!

Monday will be a nice bright day once any early fog burns off, cool day followed by another cold night with risk of fog and frost.

Tuesday should hold dry during daylight hours but still cool.

Turning unsettled but milder from Wednesday for the rest of next week.

Still a lot of uncertainty for next weekend but forecasts of very cold weather for next weekend and end of month look wide of the mark now as a milder outcome looks more likely. I’ll have updates on the bank holiday and the Dublin Marathon through the week next week.

Enjoy the cold but pleasant day tomorrow. ... See more
