Latest forecasts from Met Eireann suggest a mixed weekend is in store with a dry and bright day on Saturday and what looks to be at this stage a complete wash out for Sunday.
Met Eireann says at present a northerly airflow is coming down across the country so today will be a fairly fresh day but, with lots of sunshine around.
Forecasters say high pressure looks set to build up over the country from the Azores on Saturday giving us a fine day.
However the good spell will won’t hang around for long, as Met Eireann says wet and windy weather looks set to break through from the Atlantic on Sunday.
Next week looks like being quite mixed weather wise but it will be a lot milder over all as the current northerly airflow will be replaced with an air flow from the Azores.
