The calm before the storm is set for Dublin today as we prepare for the arrival of Storm Brendan on Irish shores.
It will be mainly dry across the capital to finish the weekend, with isolated showers before a yellow weather warning sets in.
The first signs of Storm Brendan are expected to appear tonight, when cloud will thicken and the rain begins to appear.
The yellow weather warning for Storm Brendan then kicks in at 7am on Monday morning, with gusts of up to 110km/h forecast.
Met Eireann says: "Residual rain or showers from overnight soon clearing this morning and becoming mainly dry for daylight hours with sunny spells and just isolated showers. Highs of 7 or 8 degrees. Light to moderate southwest winds.
"Cloudier with the chance of a shower early tonight, but becoming dry with clear spells later. Cloud will thicken towards dawn with a little patchy drizzle developing. Lows of 2 to 4 degrees, but rising to 6 or 7 degrees before dawn as southerly winds increase."
By midday tomorrow there will be gale force gusts disrupting things in the capital, with possible thunder and they could be particularly squally.
Heavy rain will come with it, and there is a risk of coastal flooding along the coastline.
Met Eireann continued: "Mostly cloudy to begin on Monday with patchy drizzle. South to southeast winds will gradually increase as the morning goes on, and it will become very windy with gale force gusts developing towards midday as heavy (possibly thundery and squally) rain, spreads from the west in the afternoon.
"Winds will veer to a blustery southwesterly direction as the heavy rain clears in the later afternoon, and the winds will slowly ease. There is a risk of coastal flooding due to a combination of strong winds, high spring tides and storm surge. Top temperatures 9 degrees."
