"There'll be spells of sunshine today with scattered wintry showers. Some showers will be heavy, leading to accumulations of snow on mountains and at times to lower levels. The showers will be most frequent in the north and west and down through the midlands. They'll become isolated in the evening. Northwest winds will be moderate to fresh and gusty and temperatures will be between 3 and 5 degrees at best."
