west huddle in the countryside, with clearer skies, it will be quite

chilly night. Not very promising in the morning across these central

areas. Fog slowly lifting as the breeze freshens. For western

Scotland, it should be a decent day after a chilly start. There will be

some sunshine, and largely dry. Eastern Scotland, showers have been

more widely. On the whole, for northern parts of the UK,

temperatures will be lower than today.
