Foggy Start in Ireland, Heavy Rain and 50 mph Gusts Hit UK as U.S. Preps for Midweek Travel Rain

Forecasters warn that recent snowmelt leaves some areas vulnerable to localized flooding.

Overview

  • Met Éireann has a Status Yellow fog warning in effect from 5–10 a.m. for Cavan, Monaghan, Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Westmeath and Wicklow, citing dense fog and hazardous travel.
  • In Ireland, fog lifts to a milder Saturday before a wet, rather windy Sunday with fresh to strong, gusty westerly winds.
  • The UK Met Office forecasts bands of heavy rain and strong winds this weekend, with gusts potentially exceeding 50 mph in exposed southern and coastal areas.
  • Localized flooding is possible in parts of Britain where heavy rain interacts with recent snowmelt, with river alerts noted in spots such as the River Lugg.
  • Across the U.S., many areas clear out this weekend before a Tuesday–Wednesday frontal system brings rain that could slow pre‑Thanksgiving travel, while some cold pockets face freezing fog and slick spots early today.
