A more organised band of showery rain will spread east through the region later this afternoon, and forecasters said this may become heavy and thundery in places. Maximum Temperature 9°C.

Tonight, temperatures will drop below zero with a minimum forecast of -1 degrees centigrade and showers will clear away will all areas seeing some good clear skies, and as winds fall light a widespread frost is likely for New Years Day.

But after a frosty start, the region should see some good sunny spells through tomorrow morning, followed by cloud and likely rain in the afternoon.
