The air over us recently has come from the Arctic so it's been a bit chilly. Last night was the coldest night of the autumn so far for much of Wales, with temperatures in Usk, Bala and Newbridge on Wye dropping to -1 Celsius.
Thankfully the cold snap is on its last legs and it's going to turn milder over the next few days with the wind turning into the south and south west.
So tomorrow morning you won't need to scrape the frost off your windscreen because temperatures will be well above freezing.
Plenty of cloud is expected with a few spots of light rain and drizzle, mainly in the west and the south west. Elsewhere it will be largely dry with the best chance of sunshine to the lee of high ground in parts of Powys, the north east, Monmouthshire and the Marches.
Temperatures will be higher than today, rising to 13 or 14 Celsius.
At the moment, it looks like most of the country will be dry on Saturday with some sunshine too but rain is possible in the west.
Sunday is looking more uncertain; there is a risk of some rain but it may hold-off but I should have a better idea tomorrow.
Temperatures will be higher on Sunday, 16 to 18 Celsius, but windy with strong to gale force south to south-easterly winds but good news for surfers.
