The forecast hasn't changed over the last 24 hours, and so rain with possible thunderstorms is expected overnight and into Friday morning. There may be some muddy rain. Things will pick up in the afternoon and it should be sunny mostly everywhere. Quite breezy, with a yellow alert for high winds (to 70 km/h) in the Tramuntana until 4am Friday.

As previously reported, Saturday doesn't look at all good. Rain is forecast during the day, with little prospect (at present) of sunny spells. But no weather alerts for rain have been issued, only yellows for wind in the Tramuntana and for rough coastal conditions for the whole island except the north/northeast.

Sunday should be a better day, but still windy and with the risk of some rain.
