TOMORROW - Saturday 4th April

Storm Dave will bring very windy conditions on Saturday. South to southeast winds, veering southwesterly, will increase very strong and gusty through the day. The strong onshore winds coinciding with high waves and high tides will give risk to wave overtopping and coastal flooding. Outbreaks of rain and drizzle will move northwards to all parts in the morning, with some falls of sleet or snow possible on hills early on. Heavier and more persistent rain will spread from the west through the afternoon with spot flooding possible. A clearance to scattered showers will follow in the evening when winds will veer west to northwest in western parts. Highest temperatures of 9 to 11 degrees.
