National Outlook
OVERVIEW: While we'll have a little rain and drizzle and some breezy weather on Saturday, we'll see a return to settled weather from Sunday. That settled weather is likely to continue for much of next week with high pressure dominating. It'll be pleasantly mild from Sunday, with the possibility of even warmer weather by midweek.
Friday night: Clear spells and isolated showers at first, mainly in the north and west. The showers will die away through the night and cloud will start to build from the southwest. Lowest temperatures of 1 to 5 degrees with winds continuing to ease, becoming light to moderate south to southwesterly overnight.
Saturday: Largely dry for a time and while there'll be some bright or sunny spells, it'll become increasingly cloudy through the morning and afternoon. Some scattered outbreaks of light rain and drizzle, moving into coastal parts of the southwest and west early in the day, will gradually spread further eastwards through the day, along with some hill and coastal mist and fog. Highest temperatures of 10 to 13 degrees in moderate to fresh and occasionally gusty southerly winds, veering southwesterly.
Saturday night: There'll be some clear spells across some northern parts of the country, but elsewhere it'll be mostly cloudy and while there'll be a lot of dry weather overall, there'll be a little drizzle as well as some mist and hill fog. Lowest temperatures of 6 to 10 degrees in mostly moderate westerly winds, a little fresher in some northern parts for a time.
Sunday: Any drizzle, mist and fog will clear through the morning and apart from a few isolated light showers, the rest of the day will be dry. While there'll be a good lot of cloud, some bright or sunny spells will develop through the day. Mild with highest temperatures of 11 to 16 degrees in mostly moderate westerly winds.
Sunday night: will be rather cloudy, but dry apart from a few isolated patches of drizzle. Some mist and hill fog is likely too. Lowest temperatures of 8 to 11 degrees in light to moderate southwest winds.
Monday will be another mainly dry day. Early morning drizzle and mist will clear and apart from a few isolated light showers the rest of the day will be dry. Mostly cloudy at first, but some sunny spells will develop. Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees in light to moderate southwest winds.
Apart from a few patches of drizzle, Monday night will be mainly dry with a mix of cloud and clear spells. Some mist and fog will form. Lowest temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees in mostly light south to southeast breezes.
Tuesday will be another mainly dry day with a mix of cloud and some pleasant spells of sunshine. Highest temperatures of 11 to 16 degrees in mostly moderate southeast winds, fresher in the southwest.
High pressure will continue to dominate for much of the rest of the week so it'll be mainly dry with good spells of sunshine and it's likely to become milder, even warm in places. Some mist and fog will form by night.
