And as for the weather in general this weekend? Expect quite a mixed bag, but also a lot of rain. Tomorrow will be wet with spells of heavy rain, turning more showery from the Northwest during the afternoon and evening. Strong to gale force and blustery Southwest winds will veer Westerly and moderate during the day. Highs of 11 to 13 degrees but turning colder later. Sunday will see good spells of sunshine after early rain clears the Southeast. There will be some scattered showers through the day with a few wintry, especially on Northern hills. It will be a cold day with afternoon highs of just 5 to 7 degrees in moderate westerly breezes. Sunday night will be dry for most of the country although patchy outbreaks of rain will push into Atlantic fringes overnight. Cloud will keep temperatures up at 4 or 5 degrees in the west but cooler in the east with lows of 1 to 3 degrees, with patchy frost likely. Southerly winds will be mostly moderate, but fresher along Atlantic coasts and increasing strong there by morning.
