A mix of sunny spells and scattered showers expected in most of the county today with some of the showers being heavy and of hail with a chance of isolated thunderstorms.
Sleet is possible on high ground too. Light to moderate west to southwest winds at first, but becoming breezy later as winds increase moderate to fresh and gusty. Stronger gusts near showers and along Atlantic coasts. Highest temperatures of 5 to 8 degrees.
Tonight will be cold with frost and possibly ice as temperatures fall to between -1 and +3 degrees. There will be clear spells and scattered showers, most frequent in the west.
Some will be heavy with hail and sleet, with some snow possible on high ground. Light to moderate west to southwest winds, occasionally increasing fresh and gusty.
