Showers affect western and northern areas, occasionally slipping into central England and Scotland, but most areas stay bright away from showers.

Good morning,

A northwesterly wind track across England, Wales, and Ireland will draw frequent showers into western areas. Showers will occasional track further eastward, notably in the afternoon across central and southern England. However, the east will also often be quite bright and even sunny. Scotland will see a similar situation, though the wind shifted more northerly and generally lighter. Showers affecting the north and west coasts will become increasingly wintry inland and down to some lower areas, and with time later in the day, an area of snow slipping more widely into the Highlands, with showery rain affecting the Central Belt. Again, where away from precipitation, bright skies will prevail. Highs will reach 6C in Scotland, up to 10C in the far south of England.

Showers will die out overnight, lingering the longest in the far southwest of Ireland and England, as well as along the English east coast. Skies will be mostly clear as well, and with a northerly wind track, becoming quite chilly with frosts fairly widespread from central England northwards, the frosts more patchy in the far south. Lows of 0 to -2C in most northern areas, 1 or 2C in the far south.

Have a good day!
-Dan
