Bundle up, looks like we might have snow this weekend

Cassie Delaney

Well, it’s definitely winter anyway.

It has been absolutely freezing of late and according to forecasts by Met Eireann, things are about to get a hell of a lot worse.

Bundle up well today, as the highest temperatures are going to reach is 8 to 12 degrees.

There will be scattered outbreaks of rain, heaviest across the north and west later and expect a cool breeze.

Tonight will be Baltic with lowest temperatures ranging 1 to 6 degrees Celsius.

Tomorrow will again be cold. Thundery showers will persist in the northwest as well as near west and southwest fringes, and will become more widespread through the day. The highest temperatures will reach will be between 8 to 10 degrees. Expect a blustery cold wind too.

We’ll have a lot of frost over the next few days too.

Saturday will again be cold but most of the country should hold fully dry with sunny skies. However, a few showers will feed down in the moderate northerly flow, with northwest coastal counties and eastern margins seeing most of these. Highest temperatures of only 7 to 10 degrees.

Sunday might even bring snow. Coastal counties are likely to see some heavy showers early on, even the risk of the odd wintry fall on higher ground.

Expect widespread frost and highs of only 6 to 9 degrees Celsius.

Grab some blankeys and stick on Netflix.
