Jez Harps that looks serious if it verifies thanks for all the charts you post, hey Ronan I have probably scudded that now by typing my thoughts!!

[mountain shadow]

This next system on Thursday/Friday will provide more snow than the last. The air is colder and will have more of a northerly component which will help produce bigger showers. Also the wind is stronger which will drive them further inland.

A chance of some frontal snowfall as well as the Atlantic pushes back in over the weekend.

Yup Mountain Shadow that would be my thoughts as well, hopefully we will have pics to show come Friday in Ulster anyway

[Harps]

The storm is even more intense on the 18Z tonight, hurricane force gusts on the north coast. I'd definitely be keeping an eye on this instead of the snow potential for the next couple of days for anyone living in the north!

[mountain shadow]

That storm gets worse and worse on the output. Parts of the north and east coasts will take a battering. Hope it doesn't deepen anymore.

Great minds Harps,,

[stormforce 10]

looks like the north and north west of ireland are gonna do well for snow again come thursday night into friday.
with -5 to -7 850hpa air over the country, snow could fall to quite low levels and could spread quite far inland due to the strength of the wind. some accumulations and disruption is certainly a possiblity. here is a link below of the 850hpa pressure chart.

exciting times ahead.

More thunder and heavy hail showers here tonight! Gotten very stormy in the past hour as well

[BornFromTheVoid]

Still looks dull for Cork though

Evening folks, or should I say morning. Wind quite gusty this eve and some hefty showers around. Some very exciting weather coming up for those in the Northern 1/3 of Ireland, potentially very severe too with not only severe gales or stormforce winds, but snow also a good possibility. Even further South may get some action from this with the possibility of some further strengthening over the next 24hours.

[Pomeroysnow]

Very rough night here definitely gale force wind, if tomorrow is going to be more stormy God help us!!

Alright Wathcer how did your assessment go - hope it went well bud

None of the weather forecasts so far this morning on TV are going past tomorrow evening. They have be advising on the storm for Scotland but no mention of snow yet even though the meto have warnings out.Could it be that they just aren't certain of how much or how severe it's going to be yet?

Yes Ronan I think this may be the case, it just shows how hard it is to get ahandle on how the weather will pan out in the immediate future never mind LRFs

[Pomeroysnow]

Oh we just had a small snow shower, some small bits of snow still left around the ditches perhaps waiting for more......

[ronan]

Had really heavy hailstones here which has left everything white! Snowing lightly now! Time for my daily drive over the Glrnshane! Could be interesting!

Our warning has now been reissued and extended until saturday.

I'm in a very interesting location for tommorows winds. I'm only a few hundred metres from a Northern facing coast being on the Southern mouth of Belfast lough. I'm looking forward to getting some breaking wave photos over the sea walls. Gfs would put me under WNW gusts of about 80-90mph.

[Pomeroysnow]

Well folks tomorrow into Friday is looking very extreme!!

[Baltic Regions]

We had our weather alerts emailed in work on Monday for this boy and it certainly has progressed since then.

Serious wind last night and same again for tommorrow!

Batten down the hatches!
