While there will be some sunshine over the bank holiday weekend, heavy showers are possible too
With the May bank holiday weekend fast approaching, Met Éireann is warning there is a strong possibility of "heavy showers" in many places.
While temperatures are set to rise in the coming days, the forecaster says there is a "good lot of uncertainty" at present as a low pressure weather system makes its way towards Ireland.
"It'll become warmer over the weekend, and while there's a good lot of uncertainty, it looks like there should be a good of dry weather overall with sunshine, but with the possibility of heavy showers at times too," states the latest update.
Well-known weatherman Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather, agrees there could be a "spanner in the works" for the weekend - particularly on Sunday.
"Latest charts show a bit of a spanner in the works for Bank Holiday Weekend with risk of low system on Sunday," he wrote on social media.
