Tonight it become mostly dry in central and eastern areas. Showers continue to affect the west.

Tomorrow there will be showers in the west from the word go. Elsewhere it begins dry but during the day showers push eastwards, at times becoming heavy and thundery. It will be cool and quite windy with gales in exposed parts of the south west. Overnight and through Sunday wet and windy weather spreads southeastwards. Clearer skies follow but there will be more showers.
