Chilly but Dry and Bright Across the North West
A cold start with patchy frost and fog in rural spots, plus some low cloud over the hills at first. This will clear through the morning, leaving most places sunny by late morning. It will stay dry all day.
This afternoon, cloud will spread in from the east, mostly over the Pennines and eastern Cumbria, while the coast keeps the best of the sunshine. Highs will be 10C to 12C, but only 5C to 8C on higher ground. Winds will be light from the northeast, with gusts mostly 10 to 17 mph and up to around 24 mph on the Pennine fringes.
The evening and night will be dry, with clear skies and a cold feel. Lows will be 3C to 5C in towns but 0C to 2C in the countryside, with frost and fog patches forming in rural areas by dawn.
