new snow-ice weather warning

The cold snap isn’t letting up anytime soon.

Met Éireann has issued a new snow-ice warning, status orange, for Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal.

It’s expected that an Atlantic depression will cross Ireland tonight resulting with the warning in operation from 6 pm tonight until 12 pm tomorrow.

The heavy snow will be followed by scattered snow showers tonight and into tomorrow morning.

Aside from the snow, there’s a new wind warning in operation for Munster, Connacht and Leinster

A number of counties will experience winds of 50 to 65km/h and gusts of 90 to 110km/h

Met Éireann also warns that there is an increased risk of coastal flooding ‘due to the combination of the high seas, strong winds and the low pressure’.
