A Met Eireann forecaster said: “This morning will be cloudy with scattered showers for most, some turning heavy. More persistent rain will develop in the west and south.
“Drier weather with sunny spells will extend from the north through the afternoon and evening. Highest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees in moderate to fresh northerly winds.
“Tonight will be dry for most with long clear spells and just isolated showers. Chilly with lowest temperatures of 2 to 5 degrees in light to moderate northwesterly winds.”
Tomorrow (Friday May 15th) will be another mixed bag on the weather front.
Met.ie says: “Friday will bring a mix of sunny spells and well scattered showers. Cloud will thicken in the west and southwest later in the afternoon and evening with some light rain and drizzle possible. Highest temperatures of 10 to 14 degrees in a light to moderate northwest breeze.
“Cloud will build from the west overnight, bringing a few patches of rain and drizzle. Lowest temperatures of 4 to 8 in a light west to southwest breeze.”
Providing a national outlook for the coming days, forecasters say it will remain “unsettled this weekend and early next week with rain or showers each day. Remaining cool for the time of year.”
There is more rain forecast for the weekend.
Saturday (May 16th) will see “more persistent rain will push into the west and southwest early on Saturday, gradually spreading eastwards across the country through the day.

It will be “largely dry at first” on Sunday (May 17th) “with sunny spells and just the odd shower”.
Met.ie says: “It will become cloudier in the afternoon with more widespread showers spreading from the west, some turning heavy with the chance of isolated thunderstorms. Highest temperatures of 10 to 14 degrees in moderate to fresh southwest winds.”
