National Outlook
OUTLOOK: A mobile Atlantic flow will dominate for the rest of the week and into next week too, bringing a continuation of the unsettled weather.
Thursday night: Any lingering rain along the East Coast will clear to leave dry and clear night, apart from the odd shower closer to the Atlantic. Noticeably colder than recent nights with lowest temperatures of 2 to 5 degrees, in light to moderate southerly winds.
Friday: A cool and crisp start with sunshine for many, however some showers will affect Atlantic fringes. Showers will gradually extend into west and northwest counties, some heavy with the chance of hail and isolated thunderstorms. It will however remain largely dry elsewhere. Rather breezy, in a moderate to fresh southwest wind. Highest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees.
Friday night: Some further showers across west and northwest counties but otherwise dry with long clear spells. Lowest temperatures of 3 to 6 degrees, in a moderate to fresh southwest wind.
Saturday: Starting off mostly dry with sunny spells but breezy. Southwest winds will further strengthen, as cloud and outbreaks of rain arrive into Atlantic counties during the afternoon, bringing spot flooding, and extending nationwide later. Highest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees. Wet and rather windy for the evening and into the night-time hours.
Sunday: Some uncertainty to the detail but indications suggest it will be a day of cloud and sunny spells with blustery showery rain.
