Tonight the remaining showers fade away. Clear spells allow temperatures to plunge and a widespread frost develops. Even in parts of the south temperatures are likely to dip below freezing point. 

Tomorrow will be dry in much of the UK, but outbreaks of rain push eastwards across the northern half of Scotland. After a cold start temperatures remain on the low side in the east where a good deal of cloud is likely. However, in the west and south west it should feel quite pleasant in sunny spells.
