There could be some flooding tomorrow as it lashes rain

For the weekend, it will be windy, thundery and occasionally dry and warm.

RAIN WILL CONTINUE into the weekend, with some flooding possible tomorrow.

It will be wet this evening in large areas of the country, with rain continuing into the night, but will ease up. Met Éireann says it will be misty with some dense fog patches and highs of 15 degrees.

Tomorrow will start dull as rain dies out. However, that easing will only last until the night, when “heavy thundery rain and brisk easterly winds will move up across the country”.

Spot flooding is likely later in the night.

The rest of the week is expected to be unsettled as a steering low feeds up bands of heavy thundery rain.

For the weekend, it will be windy, thundery and occasionally dry and warm. So there.

    Makes me laugh when I see comments disabled for foreign countries. You’d swear the Journal was important in world affairs.

    Thats why I hate good weather spells in Ireland because we invariably have to pay for it days later with monsoons, thunderstorms, flashfloods and gale force winds.

    The headline does not reflect what Met Eireann is saying. The forecast ‘spot flooding’ refers to later in the night tomorrow night (Thursday / Friday).
