FORECASTS
TONIGHT will be partly cloudy to overcast and quite mild with a few
light showers in the south and west, lows around 10 to 13 C.
WEDNESDAY will bring outbreaks of heavier rain moving in from the south,
the south central counties northwest to Connacht will see 10-15 mm,
with lesser amounts likely in most of Leinster and Ulster, in fact
remaining dry in a few parts of east Ulster until late in the day. Some
thunderstorms may be embedded in this band of rain, and highs will be
around 19 C.
THURSDAY some further outbreaks of rain in the west and north mainly,
with variable cloud and southerly winds at 30 to 50 km/hr elsewhere,
lows near 12 C and highs 16 to 19 C.
FRIDAY and SATURDAY will bring another outbreak of showery rainfalls as a
rather weak frontal system moves gradually northeast across the
country, 2-5 mm rainfalls and highs both days near 19 C.
The further outlook calls for a few more showery episodes from time to
time in a southwesterly flow that will be rather cloudy overall, but
with some sunshine at times, and near normal temperatures for the period
(highs 19-21 C) with rather mild overnight readings.
