However, later on in the day showers will start to push up across parts of the midlands and the west, setting the trend for a wet weekend.
Friday afternoon should see temperatures reach highs of 21C-25C in general, although, the east coast will be "less warm" with highest temperatures reaching 21C.
Overnight, it will be dry in many areas under broken cloud with just isolated showers, as temperatures hover between 12C-16C.
Saturday will begin with some scattered showers in the south-west in the morning which will then spread up the country. The national forecaster says that some should be heavy and thundery.

Showers will continue on into Saturday night, with warnings of possible flooding in areas alongside some mist and fog later setting in. Temperatures will drop as low as 14C with some light breezes expected.
Sunday should see a mix of cloud and sunshine interrupted by scattered showers, and "potential for local thundery ones".
And whilst temperatures are set to reach the lofty heights of 26C at the beginning of next week, Met Éireann say that there will remain the potential for heavy and thundery showers with possible flooding.
This weekend is also set to see the highest pollen count of the year, with the Irish Asthma Society warning people with the condition about potential issues arising from the high count.
