A rainy Easter Sunday afternoon should give way to a clear evening - but thunderstorms could be coming as soon as tomorrow.
That's according to Met Eireann's latest weather forecast, which forecasts widespread showers across Dublin, some of which will turn to hail. And they added that "isolated thunderstorms" could be coming as well ahead of an "unsettled" week with rain and strong winds.
Easter Sunday will start clear in the capital, but rain will spread over from the West, before it clears up this evening. Top temperatures should hit 13C, with lows of 6C tonight.
