Munster Outlook by Met Eireann

Friday: It will be a cool start on Friday morning with fog and any remaining frost clearing.  Wet through the evening, but the rain will clear into the Irish Sea early in the night, however further rain will push in off the Atlantic later in the night in strengthening southerly winds. Frost is unlikely with overnight lows of 4 to 7 degrees Celsius.

Saturday ''windy or possibly stormy for a time in the northwest. Widespread heavy rain will give way in many areas to sunny spells and scattered squally showers. However, the showers are likely to be prolonged and heavy in parts of the north and northwest with some hail and local thundery. Chilly in temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees. Strong to gale force winds will be very squally for a time in the northwest, but winds will moderate later. Frost overnight with patchy fog in lows of 1 to 4 degrees Celsius.''

Sunday ''Drier and calmer for a time early Sunday with some bight spells. However clouding over quickly from the south with rain developing southern areas, extending northwards as the day goes on with strengthening easterly winds. Some heavy rain is likely in many places later in the day and overnight with possibly sleet also. Cold with afternoon temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees Celsius. Becoming very windy in southern areas as well with gales. ''
