Nick from Weather Alerts Ireland said: “A little change temporarily in our weather as some showers of rain and drizzle is forecast to push up from the south [this] afternoon!
“This is forecast to be followed by a more persistent band of rain [this] evening.
“Amounts of 7-10mm are possible in the south but elsewhere a couple of mm is forecast.
“This will clear by Friday morning for most and the sun and drier weather returns.”

And Met Eireann said tomorrow will be dry and clear, but “rather cold” in places as temperatures plunge as low as 2C.
The forecaster said: “Lowest temperatures of 2C to 7C, coldest across Ulster, all in moderate to fresh easterly breezes.”
