Many places in the region saw a light dusting of snow yesterday and there'll be the risk of further wintry showers - not only today, but also into Saturday.
It will be cold and cloudy to start with, although we are mostly starting off with temperatures just about freezing. There could be some sleet around later, but generally the further west you are the drier it will tend to be.
The maximum temperature will be about 3C (37F), but in reality it will feel colder than that because of the bitterness of the easterly wind.

The Edmund Gallery is due to close at St Edmundsbury Cathedral, external after running at a loss, external.
Artists due to exhibit at the gallery, which fronts on to Angel Hill, have been asked to meet to "discuss a way forward" after the decision to close it.
The Dean of St Edmundsbury, the Very Rev Dr Frances Ward, said the cathedral had "to be financially stringent".
She said: "We know the importance of the Edmund Gallery to the local art and cultural world and it is with real concern that we have had to address the fact that it is running at a loss."
She also stressed the cathedral was committed to supporting the arts, reflected in a year-long residency for artist Mark Cazalet.
"We did not lightly take the decision to write to the artists who had booked the gallery and we very much regret the upset caused," she said.

The West Suffolk MP also revealed he was a cornet player in a brass band in his youth.
Kettering Tory Philip Hollobone had praised Youth Brass 2000, a band for young people in his constituency who have been crowned national champions five years in a row.
In reply, Mr Hancock congratulated them on their success, and said: "I myself played the cornet in a brass band when I was a boy, but I never rose to the dizzying heights of the national champions that he represents, and I send them all congratulations."
Tory backbencher Jake Berry poked fun at Mr Hancock, saying: "The minister is certainly not known for blowing his own trumpet."
Amid laugher in the chamber, Mr Hancock replied: "I never got to the point of playing the trumpet, I was a mere cornet player, but I do want to bang the drum for all of the brass bands that he mentioned."

Just days after scoring a hat-trick for the Ipswich Town under-23 team in an 8-0 demolition of Watford at Portman Road, striker Monty Patterson is off on another loan spell at Braintree Town.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe 20-year-old (pictured here playing for New Zealand) spent two months with the National League side earlier in the season, and he'll be part of their squad until the summer.
"Spending time with them is what's helped him get in the under-23s and play like he did the other night," said Town boss Mick McCarthy. "He'd not been doing that before he went to Braintree.
"Going out and playing games has been of real benefit to him and he'll struggle to get that here at the moment when you bear in mind that he plays in Tom Lawrence's position."
National League side Braintree Town re-sign Ipswich Town forward Monty Patterson on loan until the end of the season.

English Heritage says the slide will be officially opened by "a former castle resident, Queen Mary I herself".
There is also a competition for one lucky child to be the first visitor to try it out when it opens next Monday.
