With the cold conditions, forecasters note the slight chance of snow in areas across the west this evening. The BBC forecast for this evening states: "Tonight will see some patchy cloud build in from the north for a time, bringing the outside chance of a wintry shower in places".
As we head through the week, freezing fog patches are expected to remain throughout the weekend, with temperatures struggling to rise past zero throughout Saturday and Sunday. Light winds will make it feel even chillier throughout the weekend and into next week.
