Meanwhile, tonight temperatures are going to take a dip to -2 degrees with some light winds across the Atlantic coast. "Dry and clear in most areas overnight with a fairly widespread frost. However, there will be more in the way of cloud in Atlantic coastal areas which will restrict a frost from developing there. "Minimum temperatures of -2 to +4 degrees in mostly light southerly breezes, increasing moderate along Atlantic coasts."
