Met Éireann’s forecast for the weekend says it will be blustery for the rest of Saturday, with a mix of sunny spells and “fairly widespread” showers.
Some of the showers will turn heavy at times but will become isolated towards the evening, as highest temperatures range from 7 to 11 degrees.
Sunday is set to start wet in many parts, particularly in the south and south-east where the rain may be “thundery”.
However, the rain is forecasted to ease off through the afternoon as brighter spells and showers follow into the west and southwest.
That said, cloud and outbreaks of rain will linger in parts of the north and east and some sleet may fall over higher parts of Ulster in the evening.
Temperatures are predicted to be between 5 to 9 degrees, with conditions to be cooler at times in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Met Éireann’s overview for next week says conditions will be “generally unsettled with some very wet and windy weather at times”.
