There may be some brighter skies this afternoon, with perhaps a little sunshine. AFTER DARK, there will be a mix of more cloudy periods but also some clear spells, so a slight to moderate frost by dawn.

LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK
FRIDAY---A rather more problematic day, as a fresh to strong E wind, together with an Atlantic front, combine to increase the risk of some snow, especially p.m. At present, however, it seems that much of any snow will tend to be fairly light & occasional. Still bitingly cold, with a fresh to strong E to SE wind & temperatures struggling to better zero.
SATURDAY---Still very cold & mainly overcast, with a fresh E to SE wind. There are likely to be further spells of mainly light snow.
