It was noted by Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather earlier today that: "The good news is rainfall amounts [on] Saturday are not looking too high now with the worst of the rain staying out in the Irish Sea."

National Outlook:

Saturday night: Breezy with scattered showers, or perhaps longer spells of rain in the east and south at first. Showers will gradually become largely confined to the northwest by morning with clear spells developing overnight. Lowest temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees in mostly moderate northwest to north winds, fresh near coasts.

Sunday: Cool and bright with sunny spells and scattered showers, mainly in the north and northwest. Moderate northerly winds gradually easing light to moderate as the day goes on. Maximum temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees.

Sunday night: Largely dry and cold with long clear spells. Lowest temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees with a touch of frost possible. Light northerly breezes.
