TODAY ... rain will make little further progress north, so for parts of Connacht, northeast Leinster and most of Ulster, the day should remain largely dry with some sunshine at times by afternoon. Further south the rain will continue but may become more showery after noon with partial clearing around sunset. Northeast to northerly winds at 15-30 mph, rather chilly especially where this wind is stronger near the Irish Sea, with highs about 10 to 12 C. Rainfalls will vary from 20 mms locally in the south to zero in the north.
TONIGHT ... partly cloudy with some longer clear intervals developing, shallow fog in valleys, chilly with lows 2-7 C, risk of a few areas of frost north central counties. Winds falling to near calm inland and W 15 mph near the west coast.
MONDAY ... dry to start and some sunshine possible especially southeast, becoming much milder as 20-30 mph SSW winds develop, highs 13-16 C. Rain will move in quickly by mid-day in Connacht and may spread as far as a line from Dublin to Waterford but the southeast could remain dry. This rain will be heavier in Donegal and parts of north Connacht into west Ulster, with 15 mms possible there, and only 2-5 mms further south.
TUESDAY ... breezy and very mild with further outbreaks of showery rain, lows only near 8-10 C and highs 13-16 C. Winds SW 20-40 mph.
WEDNESDAY ... windy and very mild with occasional rain, winds 30-50 mph, highs near 15 or 16 C.
THURSDAY-FRIDAY ... continued very breezy and mild with further showers and mild temperatures, winds somewhat more westerly, highs 12-14 C.
OUTLOOK ... turning colder in stages, with some very chilly weather possible by later in the second week of November.
Meanwhile, Saturday (30th) was a cloudy but dry day here with some light rain setting in by evening, and the high was about 13 C. The weather across most of North America is seasonable under high pressure of Pacific origins, nothing very far from normal to be found. Shary has more or less been swallowed up by the frontal system that is coming to you mid-week, so there will be a slight contribution there, and Tomas continues to intensify slowly in the eastern Caribbean, with a threat to Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, or eastern Cuba from a possible cat-3 or 4 storm late this week. From there it may become entangled in a low pressure system over the eastern U.S. and make a late surge north towards New England.
