A dry spell is expected at around 5pm, but then rain could return around 6pm - 7pm.
After that, it looks likely to be dry until 11pm.
Temperature-wise, meanwhile, things look warmish throughout the day, reaching a high of 21 degrees at 4pm.
The weekend is thought to see sunshine and scattered showers on Saturday, but dry and sunny spells on Sunday. Monday is meant to be fine and sunny.
