Fog possible early on; lifting to give a sunny morning, but clouding over across most of the island in the afternoon. Quite a breezy Thursday, but not as much as on Friday. The Atlantic storm moving in by Friday will bring high winds and rough seas as well as rain. There are yellow alerts for wind and for the coasts on Friday, which may yet be extended.

Rain, Aemet has suggested, may not be as heavy as had been forecast earlier this week. But it is likely to continue on Saturday, as will the high winds. The whole weekend is due to be windy.

There could be some snow on high ground at the weekend. Daytime temperatures are forecast to drop but not dramatically.
