More mixed for a time

Saturday's prospects are quite mixed. The north and possibly the west have showery spells of rain. Else it remains dry and bright. It will be mild or very mild.

During Sunday a band of rain pushes in from the west, but central and eastern areas may be dry until the evening. In the west it turns cooler later on as brighter skies return. 

Early next week looks mixed. There is a risk of rain, particularly in the north, but the south may continue to have a good deal of dry weather. Temperatures should be close to the seasonal average in the north but the south stays milder. 

Through the middle of the week high pressure builds from the south again, so the wet weather becomes increasingly confined to the north west. In the south the days could become very mild but nights remains chilly.
