Showers then rain this afternoon, thundery showers tonight, sleet and possibly snow early tomorrow!

This afternoon

We still have a few showers around at the moment but these will give way to more persistent rain as we move through the afternoon, some could be heavy later with winds increasing to gale force. Max temperature 8'c-10'c

Wind SSW 28-34mph becoming SSE 38-25mph with 55mph gusts possible

Tonight

The rain will move through with showers following in behind which may be heavy with hail and thunder for a time. Later in the night another band of more persistent rain will move in from the Northwest and as it does so the rain may turn to sleet and perhaps even snow in places, especially over the hills. After a lull in the winds they will increase again back up to gale force. Min temperature around dawn with 2'c in places away from the west coast where 4'c is more likely.

The cloud will clear through the morning with sunny spells developing. Max temperature 3'c-4'c
