For the past five days, the country has seen frost, ice, and snow in the early hours but this is about to change from tomorrow. (Saturday)
As the frost and ice start to clear temperatures will rise to between 5 and 7 degrees. Tonight in the South East, it will start cold before it turns cloudier.
Saturday will start mild before it becomes wet, with widespread rain and more winds throughout the day.
While on Sunday, there is a strong possibility of a storm. In the UK, a storm has already been named (Storm Isha) and there are fears it may make its way to Ireland.
Met Éireann will provide updates in the coming days, but for now, a status yellow warning is in place for Sunday.
Still potential for a named storm on Sunday with very strong gusts. Rain returns with a bang too. Up to 100mm possible in parts of West by Tuesday evening. Keep an eye on weather warnings updates as I expect warnings will be issued for Sunday and possibly more for Tuesday. pic.twitter.com/bZ3b5f4KGh
