The cold is set to last into the weekend with a couple of nights of frost across Scotland and Northern Ireland expected.
By day, temperatures will be a little below average.
Saturday looks set to start on a frosty note but with plenty of sunshine. Showers will develop, becoming more numerous by the afternoon but not catching everywhere. With less wind in the forecast it will feel pleasant in the sunshine
Sunday’s showers look more numerous with generally more cloud and wind but therefore less frost. By Sunday night there is a renewed chance of these showers turning wintry in the north.
The colder air hangs about until early next week at which point the weather will then gradually turn a little milder with temperatures recovering to a little above the mid March average.
