Clear skies overnight which means it will be turning very cold with a widespread sharp frost, and some icy stretches possible. Mist and freezing fog patches possible too. Minimum temperature -2C.
Thursday:
Another cold and frosty start but largely dry with plenty of autumnal sunshine once any mist and fog clears. Perhaps the odd coastal shower. Staying cold, particularly in the breeze. Maximum temperature 4C.
Outlook for Friday to Sunday:
Largely dry though some coastal showers which may bring flurries of hill snow inland. Some early morning mist and fog around at times and feeling cold with overnight frosts.
