It is set to turn \u201cmuch cooler\u201d by evening, while showers at night could turn \u201cwintry\u201d on high ground in the northwest.<\/p>\n

Frost and ice are expected to linger on Tuesday morning. Rain and drizzle is forecast to spread across Munster will possibly fall as sleet on high ground, amid highest temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees.<\/p>\n

Tuesday night is set to turn wet and windy as rain spreads towards the northeast, possibly turning to sleet with snow possible on higher ground. Lows of 0 to 5 degrees are expected.<\/p>\n

Wednesday looks set to begin with more rain, possibly falling as sleet in parts of the north and northeast at first. Rain will linger in the east and north for much of the day, Met \u00c9ireann said.<\/p>\n

It will be a cold day in Ulster where temperatures will reach highs of 2 to 5 degrees, but milder elsewhere with highest temperatures of 6 to 10 degrees.<\/p>\n

These will dip to lows of 0 to 4 degrees on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Thursday is set to be a \u201ccool day\u201d across the north and east amid highs of 3 to 7 degrees, though it will be milder in the west and south where there will be peaks of 8 to 10 degrees.<\/p>\n

Although there will be a cloudy start with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, it will \u201cslowly brighten up\u201d from the west as the day goes on, with scattered showers and sunny spells spreading towards the east.<\/p>\n

Conditions will turn dull and \u201cblustery\u201d again on Friday, however, with rain spreading eastward across the country early on. This will be followed by showers, some of which may turn heavy, and sunny spells in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Highest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees are expected on Friday.<\/p>\n

Although current indications suggest further outbreaks of rain at the weekend, it will be milder with temperatures \u201crising above average\u201d, Met \u00c9ireann said.<\/p>\n
