Quite a lot of rain further to the S & SE but this is moving away, though leaving an overhang of cloud for a while. Later on, it becomes a sunshine & showers regime. We could stay mainly dry, with some sunny spells, but heaped up cloud will develop, giving some places heavy downpours, perhaps with hail or thunder & hill snow. Winds NW 2 or 3  with top temperatures about 9 degrees. TONIGHT should see any showers dying out, leaving clear skies & light winds. Temperatures will fall to around 1 to 3, so frost is possible in prone areas.
