Tonight will be cold with frost and ice continuing in places along with fog in parts too. Scattered outbreaks of rain will spread from the southwest with wintry falls possible locally.
Temperatures will be around -2 to +3 degrees before milder conditions gradually extend from the south through the night as southeast winds freshen. Tomorrow will be chaotic with the national forecaster warning of possible spot flooding due to heavy rain.
