BBC Weather said: "This afternoon will see bright spells for most, but some patches of cloud will drift in at times too from the north. These will bring the odd snow shower in places.
"Tonight will see cloud cover build in places, with snow showers continuing to move in from the northwest. There will still be a few clear spells around, however. A breezy and cold night.
"Tomorrow will see patchy cloud and the odd snow shower to start. It will turn drier in the afternoon with snow showers largely clearing and some brighter spells developing."
