Snow May Fall On Wicklow Mountains Tonight

Three separate yellow warnings have been issued for rain, wind and snow across 18 counties in the southeast.

Met Éireann has issued three separate yellow warnings for rain, wind and snow across 18 counties in the southeast, including Wicklow. The warning will be in place from 11pm on Tuesday until 11pm on Wednesday.

The National Directorate for Fire & Emergency Management says the whole country is at risk of flooding in the next 24 hours - whether under a yellow rain warning or not.

“Following recent rainfall, many rivers remain close to or above bank-full levels. As heavy rainfall is expected tonight and throughout Wednesday, additional rainfall may trigger further flooding, given current ground and river conditions.

Flooding is a risk across the country due to the current conditions. Whether or not a yellow rain warning is in place for a county, all areas will remain at risk of flooding.”

The NDFEM is also warning of possible snow in the northwest and over higher ground in Wicklow.

In addition, a Status Yellow wind warning will also come into force from 11pm Tuesday at 11pm for Wicklow, Wexford, Dublin, Meath and Louth until lunchtime Wednesday.

Met Éireann has advised of possible wave overtopping, fallen trees and loose debris, as well as difficult travelling conditions in these counties.
