Today:

A mainly dry although with a fair amount of cloud with only a few sunny intervals. Overnight fog patches lifting this morning. A few showers possible across Fermanagh. Light winds. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Chance of one or two showers across the south at first this evening. Otherwise it will be a dry night with a few fog patches. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Thursday:

Rain will quickly spread northeast across all parts in the morning. Drier in the afternoon with a few showers, turning clearer later. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Overnight rain on Friday then very windy, perhaps stormy time for a time, with showers or longer spells of rain. A few showers on Saturday. Further wind and rain Sunday.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. During Monday, another deep area of low pressure looks likely to move across the UK from the Atlantic, bringing wet and windy conditions to most if not all parts. Further spells of wet and windy weather look like moving east from the Atlantic to affect the UK during the rest of the period too, with drier, brighter spells in between. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall are likely to end up being around or slightly above average, though wind and rain will make it feel chilly, and brief cool spells with some overnight frost are likely between weather systems.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. These may become increasingly confined to northern parts during this period though, with pressure possibly building across southern areas in particular. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost and temperatures falling a little correspondingly.
