There may be rather more in the way of patchy high-level cloud as the afternoon goes on. Winds will remain light from the S or SW. TONIGHT should start clear & cold, but no repeat of very low temperature values of last night, as cloud increases later. There could be some sleet or snow around late in the night, but difficult to decide whether there will be any small accumulations of snow at this stage.
