There may be a risk of spot flooding
Met Eireann's latest forecast will come as a disappointment for anyone hoping to squeeze another few drops out of the sun before it goes into hiding over the winter.
Temperatures are set to reach up to 18C this weekend across the Country, however you might need a rain jacket too, as heavy rain is expected in places.
"It's cloudy in Galway and over a good part of Munster as well. There are some scattered patches of mist and drizzle about.
"But a spell of persistent rain is going to move in to Atlantic coastal areas later today, but is should stay dry elsewhere," said Met Eireann forecaster Pat Clarke said today.
The national forecaster is predicting cloudy, misty weather on all areas overnight with persistent rain becoming fairly widespread.
The rain is due to turn quite heavy over parts of Munster, with the risk of some spot flooding.
Saturday will start off misty with outbreaks of rain, heavy in southern parts of Munster and Leinster.
While Sunday will be a breezy day with showers over parts of Ulster but a lot of dry weather elsewhere, with highs of 14-18 degrees.
