Milder later next week

A slowly circulating area of low pressure this weekend brings areas of rain and showers, but more cloud means most places will avoid frost for a few nights after Friday. Cool northeasterlies with showers early in the new week, then a trend toward milder southwesterlies beyond midweek.
