What's the weather going to be like for St.Patrick's Weekend?
Don't put away the hats, gloves and scarves just yet ☘️🍺
A mini 'Beast from the East' is set to welcome in St.Patrick's Day 2018.
Another cold front is expected to move in from Siberia just in time for the weekend... but there is good news... it won't be as severe as what we experienced at start of the month.
There will be plenty of dry weather around, but expect freezing temperatures and the odd snow shower.
It will stay mainly dry for the parades, but feel bitterly cold with daytime highs of 2-5 degrees. Sunday is looking like the best day for the outdoors with some brighter spells.
