However, cloud will thicken from the west early on with rain and drizzle spreading from the Atlantic later in the morning and through the afternoon, with further outbreaks of rain and drizzle for a time this evening.
A more northerly track to the area of low pressure, would give more widespread heavy rain and localised flooding right across the country and could result in very windy weather, but it looks like this is a less likely scenario. Keep an eye on forecast updates for any changes though.The rain will clear southeastwards on Friday night with clear spells and some showers following, some of hail, especially into the north and west.
