There will be a cold end to Easter weekend as temperatures struggle to reach double digits.
On Easter Monday, it is expected to be dry and largely sunny but bitterly cold as a strong northerly wind hits the area.
Forecasters say there is a chance of snow showers in the afternoon which are likely to be along coastal areas.
It is likely to be a dry night though there could be the odd snow shower along the coast, with the wind easing slightly.
But it is expected to stay bitterly cold and there will be a widespread frost overnight.
