TODAY ... becoming milder with moderate SSW winds developing, 15-30 mph for most places, with 25-45 mph by afternoon in Connacht. Periods of light rain this morning across the west and north, followed by a few heavier bursts of rain mostly in Connacht and Ulster this afternoon and evening. Highs near 13 C north to 15 C south. Rainfalls generally 5-10 mms but some places may remain dry or only 1-3 mms southeast.
TONIGHT ... cloudy, very mild with occasional drizzle, fog and mist, winds remaining steady about SW 20-30 mph. Lows 9-11 C.
TUESDAY ... breezy to windy for most, periods of rain becoming heavy at times by afternoon especially in Connacht, Clare into parts of Ulster and inland Leinster ... winds SW 25-45 mph with higher gusts by late afternoon, rainfalls 10-15 mms possible (again, not this much in southeast) and highs generally 14-16 C. Another mild night to follow, lows 8-10 C.
WEDNESDAY ... continued breezy or windy, and very mild, with further light showery rain but possibly some brighter intervals developing, winds more WSW at 20-40 mph, highs 13-15 C. Staying mild overnight to Thursday morning near 7-9 C.
THURSDAY ... variable cloud, another interval of heavier rain developing late in the day, steady SW winds at about 20-30 mph, highs near 14 C.
FRIDAY ... windy and mild with showers, highs near 14 C. (winds SW to W at about 30-50 mph)
SATURDAY ... breezy and turning cooler, with showers ... highs near 12 C ... winds becoming WNW 25-45 mph.
OUTLOOK ... the models have conflicts in how much colder it may become next week, with the GFS model quite windy and turning very chilly, while the European model is less aggressive. This may point to an intermediate solution that favours frosty nights under higher pressure dropping southeast.
Today in Vancouver (Sunday 31st) was a rather pleasant, sunny day until mid-afternoon when it rapidly clouded over with a strong SW wind, then rain followed this evening. The high earlier was 14 C. It remains somewhat bland across most of North America, and Tomas has lost quite a bit of intensity to fall back to tropical storm status. He may regain some strength mid-week and the threat to Jamaica or Haiti is not over yet.
