Saturday, 10 January, 2015 Forecasts for Ireland TODAY ... Windy and rapidly turning much colder, with passing showers becoming more wintry especially over Connacht and Ulster, some accumulations of snow possible on hills there and on highest elevations in Munster, Leinster by evening. Showers will contain hail and produce some thunder at lower elevations, but some sunny intervals also. Winds westerly 70-110 km/hr, mid-day temperatures will level off in the range of 3-6 C. TONIGHT ... Further wintry showers in blustery west to northwest winds, temperatures steady around 1 or 2 C. SUNDAY ... Not as windy but continuing cold with passing wintry showers, and afternoon highs 7 to 9 C. MONDAY ... Morning rain with milder temperatures for a few hours (8-11 C) then back into colder and blustery conditions with mixed wintry showers redeveloping, winds westerly 70-100 km/hr. TUESDAY ... Breezy or windy at times, cold, passing wintry showers with some snow accumulations north and west on higher ground. Lows near -2 C and highs near 5 or 6 C. WEDNESDAY ... Periods of rain, somewhat milder again, becoming windy or very windy by evening and overnight into early Thursday. Highs 8-11 C. We will be monitoring the potential for a severe windstorm with gusts over 130 km/hr in this general time frame, cannot be too specific about details yet, but most of the more reliable models have very intense winds now for the night of 14th-15th. OUTLOOK ... Colder again towards end of the week and the following weekend, some wintry precipitation likely. Temperatures will average 2 or 3 degrees below normal in the period 15th to 21st. Beyond that, it seems to be a toss-up whether we see a return to unsettled westerly flow, or something a bit colder and more settled at times. My local weather on Friday was cloudy with a high near 8 C, light rain has begun this evening. -- Peter for IWO ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
