But southern regions are expected to largely remain dry with cloudy conditions and sunny patches forecast at times on Saturday.
Despite some potential wet weather, temperatures should remain pleasantly warm at 17C with some areas even in the region of 20C.
The average temperature for this time of year is 12C according to the Met Office.

The Met Office says unsettled conditions are likely as the long weekend will bring "spells of rain, mainly to the north and west, with patchy showers at times mainly in the east, and potentially some cooler air for a time".
Showers from the North are expected to move towards the South East on Sunday according to Met Office spokesman Stephen Dixon.
But things will peak on Bank Holiday Monday with southern regions seeing the best of a dry and sunny day.
The Met Office said: "Throughout the start of May, much of the south is likely to see continuing dry and sunny spells."
