Weekend weather: High winds, torrential rain and some snow on the cards
Its forecast for Sunday says rain in southern counties of Ireland will spread northwards to most areas by Sunday afternoon, turning heavy in parts of Munster and Leinster where there is a risk of spot flooding.
“The rain will turn to sleet and snow in places as the day goes on with the winds becoming northeasterly in direction and temperatures dropping to between 1 and 5 degrees”, the latest forecast adds. Significant accumulations of snow will be largely restricted to higher ground and a clearance will develop in the west this evening.
It says that the last of the rain, sleet and snow will clear into the Irish Sea early on Sunday night with strong northwesterly winds developing near the south coast and over parts of Leinster. It will then become dry in many parts of the country, however showers will affect western coastal counties overnight, some of them heavy with a risk of hail and thunder.
