Any snow most likely restricted to high ground though could temporarily fall at lower levels in the north during colder interludes.

Mainly unsettled conditions are most likely, with spells of wet and windy weather for all, these most frequent in the northwest. Some snow is possible in colder interludes, especially on high ground in the north. There are signs of at least some more settled interludes, these more likely across the south. Temperatures are likely to be around or slightly above average overall, any more settled interludes bringing the potential for overnight frost and fog.
