Chilly next week

Monday starts with frost in the north. It should be a mostly dry and chilly day, although near the east coast scattered showers are possible and they could still be wintry. A keen north or northeasterly wind adds to the chill. 

Frost could be widespread early on Tuesday. Even in parts of the south temperatures may dip below 0C (32F). It should be a dry day with just an odd shower in the afternoon. Temperatures will be a little higher than in recent days and in the sunshine it should feel pleasant.

Through the rest of the week there could be a few showers but there a lot of dry weather is expected. Temperatures probably remain on the low side for mid May.
