Saturday looks showery in central and northern regions. The south probably has a dry morning but in the afternoon wet weather pushes into the south west. Through the evening it extends more widely across southern counties and winds strengthen.
On Sunday morning outbreaks of rain quickly clear from the southeastern corner. All areas then have sunny spells but there will be scattered showers in the north and west.
Next week's forecast details are uncertain. It currently looks as though Monday and Tuesday will be cool and showery in the north. The risk of longer spells of rain remains in the south. Thereafter high pressure probably begins to have more influence so the chance of drier conditions increases.
