Tá deireadh seachtaine an-fhuar á thuar ag Met Éireann le sioc agus oighear forleathan

It looks like we're in for a bitterly cold weekend according to the latest forecast from Met Éireann. 

Another cold and frosty morning can be expected on Friday morning and, in some good news, it is expected to stay dry and sunny in most places. However, the south and east will be slightly cloudier with light to moderate easterly winds. Highest temperatures should reach between 4 and 7 degrees. 

Similar to Thursday, Friday night will be dry with more clear spells and light winds. More frost and ice are expected with lowest temperatures of -3 to +1 degrees. It should be slightly warmer in the east. 

Saturday will continue to be sunny although it will be extremely cold. Temperatures will range between 4 and 7 degrees in a light northeasterly breeze.
