TODAY ... dry to start in most places, some sunshine in the north and east mostly, but also one or two showers in a freshening southeast breeze. Rather mild around mid-day but rain moving into the south on stronger east winds 15-30 mph, then spreading slowly north during the late afternoon and evening ... highs 12-14 C, rainfalls 10-15 mms south (by end of day) to 3-7 mms north (mostly evening).
TONIGHT ... periods of rain with fog developing, winds backing to ENE 20-30 mph, chilly and feeling raw, lows 6-8 C.
SUNDAY ... rain breaking up to areas of drizzle or light rain, with some brighter intervals developing, winds backing around further to NNW 20-30 mph and quite chilly with highs 8-10 C. Rainfalls heavier southeast than elsewhere and generally 5-15 mms. Despite all that, there is some chance that parts of Donegal, west Connacht, Clare and Limerick could break into sunshine during the afternoon.
SUNDAY NIGHT ... clearing briefly and rather chilly, fog developing, a slight frost in some inland northern districts but temperatures probably rising after midnight for most as winds back to southwesterly. Lows 2-7 C.
MONDAY ... breezy to windy (SSW 30-45 mph by afternoon) and turning milder again, with intermittent rain developing, becoming heavy in Connacht by evening. Highs 12-15 C.
TUESDAY ... showery, windy, mild, highs near 14 C.
WEDNESDAY ... showery, windy, very mild, highs near 16 C.
OUTLOOK ... slightly cooler but still above 10 C for most, in a west to northwest flow of unsettled partly cloudy Atlantic air mass.
The weather here in western Canada was cloudy and mild on Friday with a bit of light rain, and at present we have snow only above 1200m on the local mountains. Shary became a stronger tropical storm east of Bermuda but appears to be rapidly phasing with the westerlies now and should lose tropical characteristics soon. Tomas continues to strengthen and many observers feel that it could become a major hurricane near Jamaica by early November, with Haiti also at risk (let's hope not).
