Persistent rain is set to develop over the west and showers will extend northeastwards, along with some heavy and thundery bursts.
Saturday morning will be the perfect chance to roll over for your second sleep as a cloudy start will bring rain in many places, with the chance of heavy showers and thunder.
Munster will see some brighter weather in the afternoon and this will extend north throughout the day.
