Any early morning mist and fog will clear and apart from some scattered showers in the west, it'll be mainly dry for a time, with some spells of sunshine. However cloud will be increasing from the southwest, with rain and drizzle moving into the southwest and western coastal parts through the morning. The rain and drizzle will spread eastwards then through the afternoon and evening, along with some mist and hill fog, though it'll hold dry in parts of the east and north until after dark. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees with light to moderate southerly winds, gradually freshening in the west and south.

TONIGHT

Wet and becoming rather breezy tonight with further outbreaks of rain and drizzle. However, a clearance will move in across the western half of the country later. Lowest temperatures of 7 to 12 degrees in moderate to fresh and occasionally gusty southerly winds, strong at times in southern parts, though the winds will start to ease from the west later in the night.

TOMORROW - Sunday 9th November

Starting off cloudy and wet in parts of the east on Sunday morning, however the rain will clear eastwards through the early morning, with a mix of cloud, sunshine and some scattered showers to follow. There's a chance that outbreaks of showery rain will push into Munster and south Leinster through the afternoon. Highest temperatures of 11 to 15 degrees in mostly light to moderate southerly winds, decreasing light and variable in the evening.

National Outlook

Overview: Continuing unsettled with further spells of rain or showers but some drier sunny spells too. Generally relatively mild for the time of year, and while it'll be somewhat cooler at first with temperatures closer to average, there's little danger of frost.

Sunday night: Some showery rain is likely for a time, but overall there'll be a good deal of dry weather. Areas of mist and fog will develop though, becoming dense in places, as winds will just be light and variable. Temperatures a little lower than recently with minimum values of 4 to 7 degrees.

Monday: Monday morning is likely to be rather misty and foggy for a time, however that will slowly clear through the morning and early afternoon, with some bright or sunny spells developing. While there'll be a good deal of dry weather in many areas, some showery rain affect southern and eastern parts at times with a few scattered showers in western parts too. Highest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees in mostly light, occasionally moderate, southeast or variable breezes.
Monday night: Becoming wet and blustery as cloud and outbreaks of rain and drizzle become widespread from the southwest on Monday night. Some of the rain will be heavy, with spot flooding. There'll be some mist and hill and coastal fog too. Lowest temperatures of 5 to 10 degrees in freshening southeast winds.

Tuesday: Tuesday will be a wet and blustery day. The rain will be heavy and persistent with some localised flooding. There'll be some mist and hill and coastal fog too. Highest temperatures of 12 to 15 degrees, in moderate to fresh, occasionally strong, and gusty southeast winds.
Tuesday night: There'll be further spells of rain on Tuesday night, heavy at times, though a clearance to drier weather with clear spells and scattered showers will extend northwards to most parts overnight. Some of the showers will turn heavy in the south. Lowest temperatures of 9 to 13 degrees with the winds generally easing. Some mist and fog patches will develop.

Wednesday: The mist and fog will clear to leave a mix of cloud and bright or sunny spells, along with some heavy showers, especially in parts of the south and west, some thundery. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees in light to moderate southerly winds.

Thursday: Thursday will see further showers or longer spells of rain moving northwards, some of that heavy and possibly thundery. Highest temperatures of 9 to 13 degrees

It'll continue unsettled for the rest of the week and likely next weekend too with low pressure feeding up further spells of rain or showers, but staying relatively mild.
