    Headline:

    A chilly but bright start to Saturday but turning cloudier.

    This Evening and Tonight:

    A cloudy evening to start though some skies clearing overnight which means it will turn cold here with some patchy frost, particularly in parts of Cornwall. Some low cloud possible at times in eastern areas. Breezy around coasts and hills. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

    Saturday:

    Sunny skies to start on Saturday but turning increasingly cloudy from the east later with some spots of drizzle. Brisk easterly winds continue to make it feel cold. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

    Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

    Often cloudy with the odd spot of light rain and drizzle, though some brighter breaks remain possible to the west of hills. Often breezy, causing it to feel colder.
