A taste of spring

It's been a funny old week weather wise, with sleet and snow on Tuesday but yesterday most of Wales enjoyed a taste of spring with 7 hours of sunshine on Anglesey.
In Pembrey temperatures rose to 12 Celsius making it the warmest day of the year so far on the Carmarthenshire coast.
Mind you, I wouldn't put your winter woolies away just yet. The daffodils and crocuses may be out but I wouldn't be surprised if there is more snow in March. In fact snow is more likely at Easter than Christmas.
In the short term, most of Wales can expect some rain tonight. This will clear tomorrow followed by drier, brighter weather and some sunshine.
If you're going to the rugby in Cardiff tomorrow evening it should be dry but a red scarf will come in handy as there will be a chilly breeze blowing!
As for the weekend, Saturday looks the best day at the moment. Some sunshine and a few showers.
On Sunday, there is some uncertainty in the forecast depending on the track of low pressure but we could be in for a dose of wet and windy weather. Some snow possible too, especially on the high ground in North Wales.
And a word of warning if you're heading to Portugal, North West Spain or the north and west of France, especially the Brest Peninsula.
A nasty low pressure in the Atlantic looks set to bring some stormy weather over the weekend. Plenty of rain and potentially damaging winds.
In the Bay of Biscay winds will reach violent storm force 11 with very rough seas. So I wouldn't fancy being on a ferry crossing over to Spain.
