Met Éireann updates Status Yellow snow-ice warning as temperatures to drop to -1 degree tonight

A Status Yellow snow-ice warning remains in place for western and northern counties.

LAST UPDATE | 2 Apr 2019

MET ÉIREANN HAS updated its Status Yellow snow-ice warning, following its introduction from midnight last night. 

The forecaster first issued an alert yesterday, when it warned that hail, sleet and some snow would fall overnight and this morning.

This afternoon, Met Éireann issued a further Status Yellow snow-ice warning for Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Mayo and Wicklow, valid from 10pm tonight until 11am on Wednesday.

Temperatures are expected to drop to as low as -1 degree tonight.

Scattered showers and long clear spells are forecast overnight. However, Met Éireann warned that some wintry falls are possible with the ongoing risk of hail and thunder. 

Frost and ice stretches are also expected to develop, especially in sheltered areas, but is due to clear tomorrow morning for a bright and blustery day with sunshine and scattered showers of rail or hail. 

Cloudier conditions with heavy showery rain and sleet are due to move in across Ulster and east Leinster later in the day. 

Temperatures will drop again to as low as -1 degree tomorrow night.

Thursday looks like it will be another very cold day, with temperatures of just 5 to 8 degrees. 

It will be a mix of clear spells and showers overnight and persistent rain edging in across southern areas later. 

Met Éireann said current guidance for Friday suggest that it will be cloudy and wet across southern counties with outbreaks of rain. However, it will be drier further north with some sunshine.

With additional reporting from Stephen McDermott.

Trump called covid another Democrat hoax even do he was informed of how deadly it was, as a result hundreds of thousands of Americans are dead, economy is in tatters all while trump plays golf.

You support a fascist wannabe dictator. You should really have the courage to tell people what it is we don’t agree on, instead of just saying “we don’t agree”. Cherry picking the bits you share like that is very Trumpish of you.

    Every newly elected U.S. President tends to make a big show about what they’re going to do in their first 100 days. It’s expected. It can be a rope with which to hang yourself though if you fail to meet those expectations. Which is probably why JFK said at his inauguration – ‘All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin…’ Not as upbeat as Joe Biden perhaps but far more realistic and honest I think. I wish him luck because he’ll definitely need it and let’s hope we get Covid sorted in the lifetime of his government at least…

    @Ryan: it’s not very responsible encouraging people to buy something that is near the peak of a massive bubble. It will crash significantly this year and may take years to get back to current valuation…. if ever

    @Verners Tess: to quote Ronald Reagan ” sell those missiles to iran, give the profits to the contra and have the CIA funnel crack cocaine into poor neighbourhoods”. Not a great man to quote.

    @Barry Lyons: To quote the great Thomas Sowell
    “No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems — of which getting elected and re-elected are No. 1 and No. 2. Whatever is No. 3 is far behind”

    “How long do politicians have to keep on promising heaven and delivering hell before people catch on and stop getting swept away by rhetoric?”

    With what is currently going on, truer words were never spoken
