Weather outlook - a look at what's in store for Donegal this weekend

Sunday will be similar, with a risk of thunder and lightning from lunchtime through to mid afternoon. Temperatures will reach around 17°C in a light, southerly breeze.. 

Winds will veer west to north west overnight, in temperatures of to 16°C, leading to a slightly cooler start to Monday. Rain will clear by the afternoon, with moderate north west winds keeping the air temperature at around 14°C to 15°C in the later part of the day. 

This weather is expected to last until around Wednesday morning, when a return to light southerly winds is expected. It will however remain overcast, with temperatures looking unlikely to exceed 16°C.

Thursday will be similar, and the rain looks set to return by Friday and according to current forecasts, could last throughout next weekend.
