Counties Under Alert
- Cavan
- Donegal

- Sligo
Showers of hail, sleet, and snow are forecasted, particularly affecting higher ground. Travelers should be cautious as these conditions may create icy surfaces.
Weather Forecast
Tonight, temperatures are expected to drop to around -1 degree Celsius, with even lower readings anticipated later in the week as an Arctic air mass moves in from the north. This week will see an ongoing pattern of cold and unsettled weather.
Temperature Outlook
- Lowest temperatures: -3 to 3 degrees Celsius
- Maximum temperatures tomorrow: 3 to 7 degrees Celsius
Tomorrow, conditions will remain chilly with a mix of sunshine and scattered wintry showers. The showers could produce hail and sleet, especially in elevated regions.
For Thursday, the outlook remains cold and frosty with sunny intervals. Showers will mainly affect the north and west, with temperatures ranging from -3 to +2 degrees Celsius.
Extended Weather Trends
Friday is projected to be predominantly cloudy, accompanied by rain and drizzle moving eastward through the morning. Afternoon highs will vary, reaching 4 to 5 degrees in the northeast and 10 to 11 degrees near the west and southwest coasts.
The upcoming weekend forecasts suggest continued unsettled weather conditions as Atlantic low pressure influences the region. Temperatures are expected to align closely with seasonal averages.
