On Tuesday, mainly clear skies in the morning will give way to isolated showers and thunderstorms by midday and afternoon, primarily over the mountains and the eastern half of the island. Hail is possible during any storms.
Cloud will build at intervals on Wednesday and Thursday, with isolated showers or thunderstorms again expected around midday and into the afternoon, mainly over the mountains and inland areas.
