“Through the afternoon and evening, the snow showers will become mainly confined to high ground.” said a forecaster.
Highest temperatures will remain between just 4 to 7 degrees, but it will feel colder across Munster in a fresh to strong and gusty west to southwest wind.
There’s another freezing night in store on Thursday night.
“Early tonight there will be clear spells and well-scattered showers of rain or sleet but it will become drier overnight. It will be cold with minimum temperatures of -1 to +3 degrees, so frost and ice is possible.” said the forecaster.
