A few showers around but for england and wales, thoroughly wet in places like this where the front solely pushing its way southwards and eastward this evening into the first part of the night, eventually clearing away into the near continent, taking the strong winds with it. Then a dry and clearer, much colder night to come. So if you blustery showers across the northern half of scotland with some wintering over the hills of the chili into the night, temperatures out of town touching close to freezing. Dont forget the clocks go back one hour tonight. That means you get an extra hour in bed on sunday morning and what a difference a day makes. A lovely, bright, cold, bright and sunny day. Big difference here. Pressure into the loo east. Austria across scotland in the showers in the windy of the higher ground. Across the board, 11 13dc. High pressure dominating, staying dry with sunshine and remaining on the cold side.
