No fooling, there's snow for some by tonight!

Good morning,

Happy Easter! Compared to the rest of the extended weekend, today is the pick of the days for most places...

A good deal of dry and bright weather around, plus winds generally light. Some sunshine, although a lot of stubborn cloud for central & eastern areas.

Low pressure approaches from the south-west, and a warm front arrives in southern Ireland and south-west England by afternoon, where rain develops and winds will strengthen.

Remnants of a front over central and eastern England may produce local slow-moving showers by afternoon.

Rain in the south-west will spread north-eastwards this evening and tonight, turning to snow for the hills of Wales and northern England, to quite low levels for a few hours.

Today's top temperatures will be an unremarkable 7 to 10C for most.

Have a great day.
Garry
