Showers becoming lighter, fewer and further between overnight, with those remaining mainly affecting the north and east. Otherwise, many places dry with clear spells, leading to a few fog patches and a slight inland frost. Minimum temperature -1 °C.
Saturday:
Early fog clearing to sunny spells and perhaps the odd shower. Probably cloudier for a time through the middle of the day, but brightening later. Rather cool in the breeze. Maximum temperature 10 °C.
Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:
Perhaps on the cloudy side at first, but still with some sunny spells, these probably becoming widespread by Tuesday. Temperatures rising slightly overall, but still with some frosty nights.

UK long range weather forecast
High pressure is expected to be centred to the east of the UK initially, with a good deal of fine, dry and reasonably sunny weather in a south to southeasterly flow. Temperatures are expected to rise, to well above average in some areas. Later in the week there will likely be a gradual transition to less settled conditions from west to east, as low pressure becomes more dominant with an increasing chance of rain or showers by the weekend and into the final week of March, perhaps heavy in places. Temperatures, initially above average, will likely trend back closer to normal, although with more cloud this will tend to reduce the risk of frost to an extent.
Updated:
Confidence is naturally rather low, but blocked patterns are generally more favoured for the end of March and first part of April. This can lead to slow-moving areas of low and high pressure, and depending on their location can result in extended periods of either dry conditions or, perhaps more likely, wetter episodes in the form of rain or showers. Either way, whilst temperatures overall may be near average, given the time of year this type of regime tends to increase the chance of periods of below average temperatures at times.
