Ireland will see a few days of cold, unsettled weather as a "deep" low-pressure system will bring grim conditions.
The country will be battered by heavy rain and strong winds, according to Weather Alerts Ireland.
They said that while the strongest winds are expected to push past Ireland towards Scotland, this could change.
Today will see overnight mist and drizzle clearing to give a mostly dry day with bright spells of winter sunshine developing with just isolated showers.
But dull and damp conditions may linger for some time in the south.
It will be a pleasant day with top temperatures of 8 to 11 degrees.
Temperatures will plummet tonight as Met Eireann has warned of fog, frost, and possible icy patches.
It will be a cold night with the mercury hitting as low as 0 degrees.
Frost or fog patches will clear tomorrow morning with some early sunshine.
But cloud will continue to build with scattered outbreaks of rain and drizzle developing.
The Atlantic counties will see the most rain while it won't be as bad elsewhere with a chance of some brighter spells across the midlands and east.
Temperatures will be mild ranging between 10 and 13 degrees.
