Outlook
The current cold spell will continue through Saturday night, Sunday and much of next week. Daytime temperatures will range from about 3 to 7 degrees. There’ll be sharp or severe frosts at night with temperatures falling as low as -6 degrees in places. Saturday night will be dry in many areas with clear spells. However there’s a risk of sleet and snow in Munster and south Leinster and also near Connacht and Ulster coasts. SUNDAY and MONDAY will each have a good deal of dry weather with sunny spells and light northerly breezes. There’ll be some scattered wintry showers of rain, hail, sleet or snow, mainly in coastal counties of the north and west. TUESDAY will start off dry. But outbreaks of rain and sleet along with fresh easterly winds, will develop in the south and gradually spread northwards through the evening and night, possibly falling as snow in places. The rain, sleet and any snow will gradually clear eastwards on WEDNESDAY with brighter weather following.
