Sunday, 14 December, 2014 Forecasts for Ireland TODAY ... Showers or periods of rain (10-15 mm) followed by partly cloudy skies, gusty SW to W winds at 50-80 km/hr, highs 9-11 C. A few showers will then develop later afternoon and it will turn slightly colder. TONIGHT ... Partly to mostly cloudy, a few showers, some turning wintry over higher terrain in north, lows -1 to +3 C. Icy roads may be a problem in a few areas by morning. MONDAY ... Cloudy, a few showers, remaining rather cool with highs 6-8 C. TUESDAY ... Rain at times, windy, highs near 10 C. About 15-20 mm rain is possible, and wind gusts to 80 km/hr. WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY will be seasonable and mostly dry with just a few isolated showers. Highs around 8 C and morning lows around 2 C. FRIDAY is likely to turn a bit colder in stronger westerly winds, squally showers developing. Highs near 7 C. OUTLOOK ... Back to rather bland weather for a few days before Christmas, but could turn windy around late 23rd into Christmas Eve, and colder with mixed wintry showers possible. The models then diverge as to whether this colder spell will dig in and draw on much colder air, or require another cycle or two of the parade of weak Atlantic systems. As mentioned yesterday, I would look for some much more active weather patterns around the end of this month and into early January. In my research, the period 4-8 January is favoured for stormy conditions. Conditions in Britain will be similar, throughout this period, and generally rather bland for this time of year. In North America, a notable warm spell is coming to an end over the west-central states and a wintry mix of rain and snow is developing. The warmer air is being suppressed into the southern tier of states. The west coast is turning slightly cooler although still above normal, and my local weather on Saturday was partly cloudy with a high near 10 C. -- Peter for IWO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
