Wednesday night : "Showers will continue most frequent in the west, where some will be heavy and possibly thundery with hail. Longer clearer intervals will occur over eastern parts of the country. Lowest temperatures of 2 to 6 degrees, coldest in the east where some grass frost is possible. Light west to southwest breezes will be moderate at the coasts."
Thursday : "Widespread showers for a time, some of the showers heavy and possibly thundery with hail. Sunny spells will occur also. Light southerly breezes veering westerly. Cool, with highest temperatures of just 10 to 12 degrees."
Friday : "Another cool day with a mix of bright spells and scattered showers, with the showers most frequent in the east of the country. Highest temperatures of 9 to 11 degrees, in moderate to fresh northerly winds."
