The cold conditions continue this weekend but it becomes drier and nighttime frost becomes more widespread.

Friday starts with rain and snow in central and eastern Scotland. There are also outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow in eastern England and showers in the south west. This morning a lot of the snow in Scotland turns back to rain, especially at lower levels. Wet weather in eastern England moves northwards and it continues to fall as snow in places, possibly giving accumulations over high ground. In southern counties it brightens up but there will be showers, particularly in the west, and over high ground they could be wintry. 

Temperatures range from 4C (39F) to 8C (46F). See the rain radar for the latest view.
