National Outlook
Overview: Changeable weather for the rest of the week and the weekend, with rain at times. However it'll be relatively mild.
Thursday night: While there'll be some clear spells, it'll be mostly cloudy on Thursday night, with a little patchy light rain and drizzle continuing to move east-northeastwards, along with some mist and hill fog. Later in the night, more persistent rain will move into the southwest. Lowest temperatures of 5 to 11 degrees. Winds will be light and variable for a time, becoming southeasterly and freshening in the southwest and west.
Friday: Friday will be a mostly cloudy day for many, and while it'll be mostly dry in many areas for a time, persistent rain in the southwest, will slowly spread northeastwards through the day. During the afternoon and evening, a clearance to mainly dry weather with some bright or sunny spells and a few scattered showers, will follow from the southwest into Munster, and possibly parts of south Connacht and south Leinster. Highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees in moderate to fresh southeast winds, veering westerly as the rain clears.
Friday night: On Friday night, the rain will continue to slowly clear northeastwards from most areas, though it may linger in parts of Ulster, possibly heavy at times there. Elsewhere, there'll be a mix of clear spells and scattered showers. Lowest temperatures of 5 to 11 degrees with the winds generally becoming moderate southwesterly, but will likely be fresher in the northwest.
Saturday: There's some uncertainty in the forecast detail from Saturday. However, current indications suggest that any lingering rain in the north will clear during the morning. Otherwise it looks like there'll be a mix of sunshine and scattered showers, with these most likely in the west and south, where there's a chance a few could be heavy. Overall though it looks like there'll be a lot of dry weather further east. Highest temperatures of 11 to 13 or 14 degrees in light to moderate variable winds, fresher in coastal parts, and becoming mostly westerly later.
Saturday night: Largely dry with clear spells early on in the night before cloud and rain arrive into the west, spreading over much of the western half of the country by morning. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees, with winds backing southerly and increasing moderate to fresh.
Sunday: Sunday will be cloudy for a time with outbreaks of rain and drizzle continuing to spread eastwards through the morning. A clearance to brighter weather with sunshine and scattered showers, will extend eastwards through the afternoon. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 or 15 degrees in moderate, occasionally fresh, southerly winds, veering southwesterly and easing.
Early next week: Continuing unsettled with showers or further spells of rain, but remaining relatively mild.
