TODAY ... cloudy with periods of rain, becoming heavy at times in the south this morning, possibly thundery at times, spreading to the east by afternoon. Amounts of 10-30 mms likely, with the least in northwest counties. Highs near 12 C northwest, 14-16 C southeast. Winds only moderate but sometimes light, from the southeast in eastern Ireland, and from the northwest by afternoon in the west ... some brighter intervals following the rain in western counties.
TONIGHT ... becoming foggy with near zero visibilities at times in rural areas and across higher terrain, winds SE 10-20 mph backing to E 15-25 mph, occasional light rain mostly in the south coastal districts. Lows 8-10 C.
SATURDAY ... mostly cloudy and misty or drizzly to start, although some dry intervals in the far north ... periods of rain with fog redeveloping across southern counties by mid-afternoon, becoming heavy overnight ... rainfalls light in far north, 5-15 mms central, 15-30 mms south. Highs about 12 C. Winds light easterly with the rain, moderate E-NE further north (gusting to 40 mph in Donegal and northern coastal counties).
SUNDAY ... rain continuing at times, heavier in the southeast, winds becoming northerly 15-30 mph, chilly with mist, drizzle or fog, the occasional witch or goblin too, temperatures steady near 8 C or slowly falling in northwest to about 5-6 C. Rainfalls near 5 mms generally but 10-20 mms south.
MONDAY ... rain at times, becoming windy again from the southwest, milder, highs near 13 C. Rainfalls 10-15 mms. Due mostly to the long interval of wet weather, some local flooding could develop.
OUTLOOK ... very mild with some showery intervals but also some dry weather at times. Highs mid-week around 14 C. Windy at times.
The weather here (Vancouver) on Thursday (28th) was cloudy with some light rain at times, but it was mild and not too unpleasant. Highs reached 14 C. A warm spell ended late in the day on the east coast as strong west winds arrived, but earlier, highs were near 24 C (today only 12 C expected). A new tropical storm, Shary, has formed east of Bermuda but probably won't amount to much, but a more interesting storm seems to be trying to form quite far south near the coast of Guyana (in South America) at about 8 deg N -- this may become a tropical storm or even a hurricane over the weekend or early next week. It could move inland in Venezuela, but some models are taking it northwest towards Puerto Rico. A third candidate for storm-hood (?) is located southwest of Madeira. The next two names to be used this year are Tomas and Virginie. Then it's on to Walter and the Greek alphabet after that (used only once, in late 2005).
