The forecast for Wednesday may allow for play....fingers crossed....



Met Eireann

Heavy rain will spread to many parts on Tuesday night and it will become very windy again with strong to gale force and gusty southwest winds, veering northwest later. It will stay rather mild overnight. 

The last of the rain will clear early on Wednesday and it will turn colder with sunshine and showers, some wintry in the north on high ground. Afternoon temperatures will only be between 4 and 7 degrees and it will feel colder in fresh westerly winds.
