Met Éireann has stated it will be cold, mainly dry with frost to begin the weekend. Becoming less cold over the weekend but turning more unsettled again.

A Status Yellow Low Temperature/Ice warning will be in effect from 9pm on Friday, February 13, until 10am on Saturday, February 14.

Friday night will be mainly dry, very cold, frosty with some icy patches. There's just the chance of a few isolated showers in northern and northwestern coastal parts early on.

Saturday will be a frosty start with some icy patches. Dry for a time, with some spells of sunshine, the best of these further east. It'll become increasingly cloudy from the west through the day, with rain spreading northeastwards through the afternoon and evening, turning heavy in parts, with the chance of some sleet later in the day, especially over higher ground. It should stay mainly dry though for much of the daylight hours in east Leinster and much of Ulster. A cold day with highest temperatures of just 3 to 7 degrees generally, though a little less cold in the southwest and west. Winds will be mostly light southerly to begin, but will gradually increase fresh to strong and gusty south to southeasterly.

Saturday night will be wet and rather windy for a time, with spells of heavy rain and with some sleet and possibly a little snow for a time over higher ground in the north and east. A clearance will follow from the west overnight, but scattered showers will follow too. Lowest temperatures of 1 to 5 degrees with the fresh to strong and occasionally gusty southeasterly winds veering westerly with the clearance and moderating.
