During the afternoon, cloud will build up, bringing a chance of rain or drizzle in counties along the west coast. Friday will be a “wet and windy day” with gales on the west and north coasts. Heavy rain is possible, particularly during the late afternoon and evening. Heading into the weekend, Saturday will start off “crisp and sunny” before more blustery showers spread from the west. Sunday is expected to be another dry and bright day at first before showers spread again from the west, again turning heavy at times.
