The cloud may break up to bring some late brightness towards the evening.
This evening and tonight is expected to be very cold and clear with clear skies and a chilly northerly wind developing. An icy night.

Turnout in Yorkshire in 2024's general election fell 10% compared to turnout in 2019. It was 55% compared to 65% in 2019. This was the lowest turnout for a general election recorded in the last 80 years.
Labour’s vote share in this election in our region was 42%, while the party polled 40% in 2019.
In terms of vote share, Labour did better in 2017 when led by Jeremy Corbyn when they polled 50% of vote share. These were the seats that Labour took from the Conservatives. York Outer in these Labour gains saw the biggest increase in vote share for the party at 15%.
Conservative vote share in the region was 23% - the lowest vote share recorded for the party since Winston Churchill was leader in 1950. However, the party did retain more seats than expected when compared to the MRP polling.
The main bright spot for the Conservatives was Robbie Moore in Keighley and Ilkley, who secured 40% of the vote in his constituency. These are Conservative holds.
Despite the exit poll predicting major gains for Reform UK, the party won no seats in Yorkshire. Vote share for the party was 16% across the region. It came second in 10 seats, polling best in Barnsley South at 33%.
The Greens had a fantastic night, coming second in six constituencies across the region and achieving 8% vote share in Yorkshire - their best ever result. They out-polled the Lib Dems who achieved 7% vote share.
The Lib Dems achieved their aim of winning Harrogate and Knaresborough, but fell well short of winning Sheffield Hallam, which was a target for the party.
The Independent candidate who won in Dewsbury was the surprise of the night. Iqbal Mohamed won 41% of the vote compared to Labour who achieved 22.9% of the vote. This is the first time an Independent candidate has won a seat in a general election in Yorkshire since 1907.
It was a good night for Independent candidates across Yorkshire. In 2019 Independent candidates polled 9,360 votes, but in 2024 they polled a combined total of 59,131 of votes.
Although Rishi Sunak held onto his seat in Richmond and Northallerton, the joke candidates running against him picked up hundreds of votes.
Count Binface, who is no stranger to UK elections, won 308 votes in the constituency.
Speaking to the BBC before the declaration, he said North Yorkshire was "one of the greatest places in the omniverse".
Meanwhile, YouTube prankster Niko Omilana also turned up to the count, sporting some tiny sunglasses.
He described himself as the "first ever honest politician" who had "teamed up with Batman to fill potholes".
Mr Omilana finished with 160 votes.
Sir Archibald Stanton, from the Monster Raving Loony Party, accompanied by Gilly the ventriloquist's dummy, secured 99 votes.
After losing his York Outer seat after14 years, former Conservative MP Julian Sturdy says he is "pretty certain" he will not stand for Parliament again.
However, he tells BBC Radio York that he will not rule out a return to local government, where he started his political career.
"It's been a horrific night for the party," Mr Sturdy says.
"I think the party has to learn from the fact that the centre right vote has split and cost us many seats across the country."

The story of the night here in York has very much echoed the national picture.
Former Conservative MP Julian Sturdy (pictured) loses his seat after 14 years to Labour's Luke Charters.
Mr Sturdy remains gracious, saying he is looking forward to going back to farming - joking that he might even get on a combine this year.
Mr Charters says he is looking forward to dedicating himself to serving the people of York Outer and the nation is ready for change.
Meanwhile, Labour's Rachael Maskell holds onto her seat in a very different constituency outlook from 2019, due to boundary changes in 2024.

Tom Gordon's win for the Liberal Democrats in Harrogate and Knaresborough is huge for his party - both in the size of his majority and the return for the time, effort and resource that was poured into the seat.
Put simply, the Liberal Democrats had to win there.
It was one of their top targets and, with the political winds blowing in their direction, the time was right for them to win.
Victory secured - and with a majority of more than 8,000, Mr Gordon has been given a strong local mandate.
Conservative Julian Smith manages to hold onto his seat in Skipton and Ripon, with a slimmer majority than his 2019 result.
Securing 18,833 votes, Mr Smith is closely followed by Labour's Malcolm Birks who gets 17,183 votes.
This is in contrast to 2019, when Mr Smith gained a 23,694-vote majority.
Conservative Alec Shelbrooke wins in new seat Wetherby and Easingwold - which was previously Elmet and Rothwell.
He wins 20,597 votes and is followed by Labour's Ben Pickles, who wins 15,751.
