Ireland is set to experience a mild, wet weekend before an airflow will bring a big change next week with unsettled conditions.
This morning will be cold and mainly dry with sunny spells and any frost and ice will clear.
It will stay dry and bright in many areas, but cloud will increase in the west and northwest during the afternoon, bringing patches of drizzle with top temperatures of 7 to 10 degrees.
Friday night will be cloudy with drizzle in west, with lowest temperatures of 4 to 8 degrees.
Saturday will be cloudy and breezy with drizzle into the night, while Sunday will be a bright, clear day with occasional patchy rain.
However, forecasters from Met Eireann are predicting next week to be unsettled as an airflow and frontal system move across the country.
A forecaster said for Friday until next Thursday: "This week will be generally unsettled. High pressure will be centred across continental Europe while low pressure will dominate to the northwest.
"This will place Ireland in a southwesterly airflow through the period, steering frontal systems across the country. As a result, it will be a wetter week than normal with above average rainfall in all areas.
"It will also be slightly milder than normal. With these unsettled conditions, there is a chance that rain or wind warnings will be warranted."
