A largely dry and bright start in Donegal today, Monday, with some sunny spells

It'll be largely dry and bright to begin today, Monday, in Donegal with some sunny spells.

However, it'll become cloudier in the west through the morning with scattered showers moving in, turning heavy at times, with the chance of hail.

The showers will move further eastwards through the afternoon and evening, easing as they do and becoming isolated later.

Highest temperatures of 8 to 10 degrees with south to southwest winds increasing moderate to fresh through the morning, stronger in coastal parts of the west and north, veering northwesterly and gradually easing mostly moderate later, still fresh though along the north coast.

Any remaining isolated showers will die away early on tonight, to leave a mainly dry, clear night. Lowest temperatures of -1 to +2 degrees and with winds easing light and variable, some frost and ice will form. The odd patch of mist is possible.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, will be a dry, sunny day. After a cold frosty start, afternoon temperatures will rise to between 9 and 11 degrees in light to moderate variable, mainly southeasterly, breezes.
