The national forecaster also revealed Ireland won't be hit by a so-called "Siberian snowbomb" that's predicted to bring snow to the UK next week.
The unseasonable mild weather for this time of year is set to continue according to Met Éireann.
Ireland has enjoyed relatively warm weather so far this winter, and according to the national forecasters latest predictions, that doesn't look set to change any time soon.
However, there is some rain on the way this weekend.
Met Eireann's forecast for this week reads: "High pressure continues to dominate the weather but it will gradually weaken over the weekend with winds increasing and outbreaks of rain and drizzle.
"Friday will continue mostly cloudy and dry with perhaps patchy rain or drizzle in the north and east. Top temperatures will be around 7C to 10C.
"During Friday night westerly breeze will increase moderate to fresh with outbreaks of rain and drizzle in the northwest spreading southwards by Saturday morning."
Reports of ''snowbomb'' dismissed.
Meanwhile, reports of a ''Siberian snowbomb'' which may hit the UK this week have been dismissed for Ireland.
Meteorologist John Eagleton told the Irish Mirror that next week will continue to be relatively dry and mild despite extremely cold weather in continental Europe.
He said: "No serious break in the dry weather, there'll be bits and pieces of rain, temperatures will hold more or less as they are, no real cold weather either.
"It's not totally dry. There'll be bits and pieces of misty, drizzly weather but no serious rainfall, no frosty weather, hardly any frost at night."
