Tonight the band of rain clears southeastwards. Clearer skies follow it, although a few wintry showers push into Scotland. Frost develops in parts of the north.
Tomorrow starts dry in the vast bulk of the UK. However, cloud builds in the west and outbreaks of rain move across Northern Ireland and into western Britain. Over high ground in Scotland they fall as sleet or snow. Temperatures close to the March average.
Monday will see the unsettled period continuing. An area of heavy rain pushes northwards across the northern half of the UK. To its south there will be patchy spells of rain and during the afternoon they become heavier in the west. Quite mild.
Tuesday begins with outbreaks of rain in the north. They should clear quite quickly to leave a mix of sunny spells and and showers in all areas. Mild.
During Wednesday an area of rain slowly clears southeastwards. Brighter conditions follow, but showers feed in and they could have a wintry flavour in Scotland. Temperatures close to the norm.
