The east of Ireland is in for a stunning weekend after a washout today (Friday).

According to the Irish forecasters at Met Eireann, it’s due to be warmer than average.

Things are also going to be predominately dry, especially away from the northwest, with high pressure dominating our weather.

Tonight, conditions will become dry with clear spells early in the evening as the showers die away.

Lowest temperatures of 8 to 13 degrees are expected “in light easterly or variable breezes, falling calm at times allowing widespread fog to develop.”

Saturday

A mostly dry day tomorrow, according to Met Eireann.

Dull at first in places with areas of low cloud, mist and fog clearing in the morning to leave a day of sunny spells, turning hazier later, with just the chance of a few light showers.

Highest temperatures of 19 to 22 degrees in light southerly or variable breezes.

Staying dry overnight though some areas of fog will once again develop.

Lowest temperatures of 9 to 13 degrees in mostly light southwesterly breezes, more moderate near Atlantic coasts.

Sunday

Another largely dry day with good sunny spells, Met Eireann says.

Some fog to start, particularly in the south, declining through the morning but once again persisting near some coasts.

There is the chance of thicker cloud building in the northwest with a few spots of light rain or drizzle developing.

Highest temperatures of 19 to 23 degrees in light to moderate southwesterly winds.

A dry night with a mix of cloud and clear spells. Lowest temperatures of 8 to 13 degrees. Areas of fog will form in mainly light southerly or variable breezes.
