Brighter conditions with a clearance of early rain for St Patrick's Day in Donegal

Today, St Patrick's Day will start rather windy with rain and drizzle across Donegal.

Quite overcast too, but brighter conditions will develop with the clearance of that rain, with just scattered showers following in behind. Highest temperatures of 10 to 12, even 13 degrees in fresh to strong and gusty southwest winds, with gales along coasts.

Mostly dry and clear at first tonight apart from the odd spot of drizzle. Mist and fog patches will develop in places with the lowest temperatures of 2 to 4 degrees, milder further east with overnight temperatures ranging between 3 and 7 degrees. Light southerly or variable breezes.

Cloudy with patchy outbreaks of rain and drizzle, then tomorrow, Wednesday. Mist and fog patches will linger in places throughout the morning with the highest temperatures of 8 to 12 degrees in light to moderate easterly winds.
