Storm Ciara will give spells of rain, heavy at times, over the weekend followed by wintry showers, with snow on high ground, early next week.

Gales or Severe Gales, with a risk of gusts to storm force, are expected over the weekend and early next week with a risk of minor structural damage and some travel disruption.
