Ireland is set to see a mixed bag of conditions over the coming days as a band of low pressure moves across the country.
Met Eireann has predicted a wet start to the weekend before heavy showers clear to bring some sunny spells.
The northern half of the country will see the worst of the conditions as showers lighten as they travel south.

A forecaster said: "Low pressure firmly in control of our weather for the next 5-7 days. That means breezy and showery with some heavy spells of rain and possibly more thunderstorms but also still mild."
Meanwhile, showers or longer spells of rain will become mainly confined to the north and west overnight.
It will turn drier elsewhere with clear spells developing. Lowest temperatures generally of 7 to 11 degrees, milder in parts of the west in moderate or fresh southerly winds.
Tomorrow will be cloudy in the north and northwest, with showery rain and a few heavier bursts bringing the chance of some spot flooding.
Elsewhere will be dry with spells of sunshine for much of the day before further showers spread from the south later in the afternoon and evening.
Highest temperatures of 13 to 17 degrees in moderate to fresh southerly winds, easing later.
Saturday night will become wet and misty countrywide with spells of rain, heavy in parts, and some spot flooding is possible.
Lowest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees in a moderate east to southeast breeze.
The rain will continue to affect northern areas on Sunday morning, with some drier weather further to the south.
In the afternoon, further showery rain looks likely to move into southern counties, while it will turn drier and brighter elsewhere though still with some showers.
Highest temperatures of 14 to 16 degrees in a moderate southeast wind.
Sunday night will bring further scattered outbreaks of showery rain, with mist and fog patches too.
Lowest temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees in mainly light or moderate variable winds.
Monday will bring further scattered showers or spells of rain mixed in with some drier, brighter spells.
