Perhaps the snow may be heavier for a time this afternoon, with a few cms fresh snow accumulating.

Snow should largely die out during this evening & that may well be the end of falling snow for some time!

LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK
WEEKEND--- Winds turning more into the SW, with temperatures higher than of late, with thawing generally accelerating. Saturday morning may see a few showers, though with a drier, brighter afternoon, before some rain overnight.
Sunday will have a mixture of some dry, bright spells, but also a few showers & again more rain later. River levels are obviously set to rise with the onset of less cold westerly weather, periods of rain, along with melting of recent snowfalls.
