Highest temperatures of 3 to 6 degrees with light to moderate southwest to west winds, gusty at times near the east coast.

Tuesday night will see a mix of clear spells and patchy cloud along with scattered outbreaks of light rain, drizzle, sleet and snow for a time. It'll become mostly dry and clear overnight.

Lowest temperatures of -3 to -1 degrees with a sharp to severe frost and icy stretches forming.

A light northerly or variable breeze will also allow patches of fog or freezing fog to develop.
