SNOW TRACKER: How much snow will each county get amid Arctic blast forecast?

A snow map shows when and where snow showers could occur in Ireland next week as Ireland braces for a cold snap from the Arctic.

Temperatures will drop to -6 degrees in parts with some wintry showers expected too. 

Met Éireann have already issued a weather advisory for the entire country due to the impending cold spell. Their outlook for the week ahead says our weather looks like "turning much colder next week, with an arctic airmass moving down across the country and with temperatures well below the seasonal normal.

"An area of low pressure system will track eastwards across the country on Monday bringing some heavy rain, and also some sleet and the likelihood of some snow, mainly for Ulster. Then after that clears to the east on Monday night, the spell of very cold and wintry weather will follow and will then persist throughout much of next week," they added.

Cathal Nolan from Ireland's Weather Channel explained how much snow different areas of the country could get as the Arctic system arrives.

"An area of low pressure along a long and winding occlusion marking the boundary between an advancing cold Arctic airmass and warmer air to the south sits over Ireland.

"Along the northern flank of this boundary, where precipitation is heaviest, a lowering of the 0 degree isothermal layer is expected to result in falls of snow for some areas, with accumulations across lower ground of between 2-5cm, and over higher ground accumulations of 10cm are possible.

"The chances of snow depends upon a delicate balance of how far south the low pressure goes, how deep the central pressure goes, how quickly does the colder airmass dig in, what’s the elevation of your area and will the timing of the precipitation arrival lead to milder temperatures.

"Assuming that this balance is struck favourably then I believe areas which are 150metres or so above sea level will see accumulations of snow, with higher ground likely to see the heaviest falls of snow. I also believe the risk will extend further south based on more recent projections.

"In short, much of mid and South Ulster, North Connacht and North Leinster are at risk of seeing some accumulations of snow on Monday. The snowfall environment is finely poised and some may be disappointed by the outcome, however some will be playing in the snow Monday evening."
