Chilly to start & dry but mostly cloudy which will be stubborn in places. Bright spells trying to break through & where they do it will feel pleasant with light winds.

Thicker cloud from the S as the afternoon progresses with some patchy rain late-on.

SUNDAY

Not as good as it was looking I'm afraid. Cloud will be thick during the morning as light rain or drizzle moves north with low-cloud on the tops.

Drier later but brightness sparse.

FRIDAY πŸ“‰

A totally different day. Cloudy with occasional rain during the morning and much colder. Rain will ease away into the afternoon and then eventually skies will break overnight leading to patchy frost in a few places, especially in the north.

Showers, some heavy, now arriving, especially out west as the recent spell of decent weather breaks. Cold day on Friday.

Yep definitely not as bad as first thought. Even this morning's rain is away to our NW at the moment. Might even cut a lawn πŸ‘€.

Latest position of the narrow band of rain which is slowly creeping away to the east. I'm still hopeful that it'll brighten up later this afternoon, albeit slowly from the west.
