Cloudy tomorrow, Wednesday, but with many areas dry for much of the day. There will, however, be patchy light rain and drizzle in western areas from morning, with a band of heavier and more persistent rain moving into the west in the afternoon, gradually extending eastwards through the evening.

National Outlook

Overview: Wet at first, especially for Atlantic coastal counties. Rain will slowly track southeastwards, clearing later Thursday. Turning cooler and more settled through Friday and for the weekend, with high pressure building.

Wednesday night: Persistent rain, heavy at times, will continue to slowly extend from the northwest, bringing the chance of localised flooding, especially for Atlantic coastal counties. However, some southeastern areas will stay dry until morning. Moderate to fresh south or southwest winds, stronger near exposed coasts, will gradually becoming moderate to fresh for the southeastern half of the country, and light to moderate westerly elsewhere. Lowest temperatures of 8 to 12 degrees generally, milder for some southern and eastern areas.

Thursday: A wet morning with fairly widespread rain, heavy in places with localised flooding, especially in Atlantic coastal counties. Moderate to fresh southwesterly winds in the south and east will ease through the morning as light to moderate westerly winds become more widespread and a clearance to sunny spells and some showers move into the northwest. The rain will become mostly confined to southeastern and eastern areas by the evening, and winds near Atlantic coasts will freshen at times. Highest temperatures of 12 to 16 degrees.

Thursday night: Any lingering cloud, rain or drizzle in the southeast will clear early in the night, becoming largely dry and clear for most, though showers will feed in from the west, mainly affecting Atlantic coastal counties. A few of the showers may be heavy. Lowest temperatures of 4 to 8 degrees in mostly light westerly winds, fresher near Atlantic coasts.

Friday: A bright day with sunny spells and scattered showers in the morning and early afternoon, easing from the south and becoming mostly dry for the evening. A cooler day with highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees in a moderate northwesterly wind, fresher at times near coasts.

Friday night: A largely dry, clear and chilly night. A few isolated showers may occur near northern coasts. Lowest temperatures of 1 to 5 degrees generally in light northwesterly or variable breezes with some mist and fog patches developing.

Saturday: Mist and fog will clear through the morning to leave a dry day with sunny spells for most. Cloudier, though, in the northwest with the chance of the odd stray shower. Highest temperatures of 11 to 13 or 14 degrees in light variable breezes.

Sunday: Mist and fog will again clear through the morning. Otherwise, there will be a mix of cloud and sunny spells. Staying dry for most, with the odd stray shower cannot be ruled out. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees in light northeasterly or variable breezes.

Further Outlook: Current indications suggest that there will be rain at times early next week before turning drier for midweek. Temperatures will increase slightly too.
