Frosty Start, Then a Bright and Fresh End to the Weekend
A chilly start, with a touch of frost in places and some patches of mist and fog. Low cloud and hill fog sit over the Pennines and eastern fells. Any fog clears through the morning, and most lowland areas turn bright and dry.
The afternoon brings sunny spells with some patchy cloud, mostly over the hills and Greater Manchester. Late in the day, there's a small chance of a brief spot of light rain on the high ground east of Manchester, but most places stay dry. Highs will be 10C to 12C, perhaps 13C locally, and only 6C to 9C on the hills. A north-easterly breeze will bring gusts of 12 to 18 mph, reaching 20 to 25 mph over the Pennines.
It will be a dry evening with clearing skies. Cloud thickens from the south-east late in the night, and a few showers are possible by dawn. Lows will be 1C to 5C, with a touch of ground frost possible in the coldest rural spots.
