Most areas will be dry with long clear spells but cloud will build in the southwest overnight. Temperatures will range from -3C to +1C.

Tomorrow morning will be cold and frosty with some icy stretches possible. Most areas will be dry and bright with just the chance of an isolated shower.

It will be cloudy in the southwest with rain developing during the morning and spreading northeastwards across the country through the afternoon.

It will become windy too with a fresh to near gale force and gusty southeasterly wind.

Temperatures will only range between 4-7C.

Met Éireann said the weather will continue unsettled into next week. Showery conditions will dominate with some better spells of sunshine at times as temperatures turn slightly cooler than average.

Meanwhile, a Status Yellow rain warning has been issued for Cork and Waterford for tomorrow.

The warning will come into place at 3pm and will remain in place until midnight tomorrow.

Met Éireann said there will be spells of heavy rain that could lead to localised flooding.
