Current thoughts favour another day with generous amounts of sunshine. Winds will be light to moderate from the E to NE. Temperatures should reach around 11 or 12, after a very nippy start to this morning. Don't be surprised to see some areas of misty low cloud around, especially later in the day & in some parts of the region, cloud could predominate over sunshine (especially close to the East Coast ). Tonight----staying dry, perhaps more cloud & probably more limited frost compared with the previous 2 nights.
