Anyone celebrating St. Patrick's Day in Ireland will have to add green umbrellas to their attire.
Numerous showers set to stream across Ireland on Saturday will prevent nice weather from complementing the nation's festive mood.
While the showers are not expected to unleash flooding downpours, any rain threatens to put a damper on outdoor activities scheduled for the holiday.
In addition to umbrellas, revelers should grab a jacket before heading out to celebrate.
Saturday's temperatures throughout Ireland will be held to the 40s (F, 4 to 9 degrees C), which is a bit cool for this time of year. Dublin, Ireland's capital, can anticipate a high of 46 degrees (F, 8 degrees C).
Dublin is once again hosting the highly-popular St. Patrick's Festival, which started today and runs until Monday.
The good news is that better weather awaits the second half of the festival.
Just one or two showers will linger into Sunday with dry weather and milder temperatures to follow for Monday.
