"By Wednesday, winds will start to pick up for Northern Ireland, especially in northern and western coastal areas with gusts in excess of 50 knots possible in exposed areas, and fairly breezy inland.
"This will be accompanied in the second half of Wednesday with some more persistent rain for the vast majority of Northern Ireland, as a cold front pushes south.
"As we move towards the weekend a westerly pattern is looking most likely, with some breezy conditions and showers likely filtering in from the west at times on Saturday and Sunday, with most in the way of cloud."
Temperatures for the week are expected to say above freezing with no frost expected.
