Tomorrow - Monday - will offer Northern Ireland "the odd wintry shower at first, but these dying out with some bright spells, perhaps the odd sunny break" says the Met Office.

Scattered thunderstorms will also occur.

"There's a cold north-westerly wind with gales around the coast". All of the rain should clear out during the afternoon on Sunday, forecasters said.
