A mixed bag for the weekend

I think we can expect a bit of everything this weekend!

Some sunshine, frost and ice. Some rain, a few showers, hail and more snow in places too. It's what we call a wintry mix.

This picture of a snow shower was taken by Rhian Pole this morning, looking North West from Crwbin, Carmarthen over the Gwedraeth Fach Valley:

If you're wondering where the jet stream is at the moment, well it's way to south of Britain over North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean with some unsettled weather there.

Back in Wales, a few more wintry showers tonight - most of them in the north and west as well as aÌýfew heavy showers with hail and snow in places.

Southern and eastern counties will become largely dry with clearer skies and a widespread frost with temperatures tonight dropping down to - 5 in central Wales. Even lower in a few spots with snow on the ground.

So, tomorrow morning take care if you're heading out as icy patches are likely on some untreated roads.

Wintry showers are expected in the south. A few cm's of snow possible in places, (1 to 2 inches) especially on higher ground.

North Wales should be brighter with some sunshine and a few wintry showers.

Through the day, the rain and snow in the south will clear away leaving a better afternoon. It will be generally drier and brighter in the afternoon with one or two scattered showers and some sunshine.

Top temperatures 4 to 6 Celsius with a mainly light west to north westerly breeze.

Saturday night -ÌýA dry start with some frost and icy patches but later in the evening/ overnight another band of rain, sleet and snow may spread across Wales. This should clear early on Sunday although there is some uncertainty.

The rest of the day should bring some sunshine and a few showers. Highest temperatures 4 to 7 Celsius with a south to south easterly breeze.

Sunday night -ÌýThere is a risk of more rain, sleet and snow, gradually clearing on Monday.

Tuesday should be drier and brighter but low pressure may bring more rain and snow later in the week.
