A cold front moved through Wales last night introducing much clearer, fresher air from the Arctic.
The weather today is typical for April with a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers - the showers heavy in places with hail and wintry on the mountains with a little snow.
Tonight there will be further showers, most of them in the north and west feeding in from the Irish Sea and brisk winds on the north and west coast.
Parts of Mid Wales, Powys and the south will become dry, clear and cold with some ground frost.
Saturday will bring a mixture of clouds and sunshine but on the whole a lot of dry weather.
The north and west will become clear and sunny in the afternoon but there will be a cool north to north-easterly breeze, with temperatures only 8 to 11 Celsius.
Out of the wind and in the sunshine it should feel quite pleasant though.
Saturday night will be fine and clear for a time but turning cold with some grass frost overnight.
There could even be some air frost in the countryside with temperatures falling below freezing so gardeners take note!
On Sunday it's all change again - much cloudier with patchy rain and drizzle, although it may dry and brighten-up in the north by the evening buteeling chilly with a south-westerly breeze with highs between 8 to 11 Celsius.
Next week, it will be breezy on Monday but drier and brighter with one or two showers.
The middle of the week should become fine and settled for a time with higher pressure bringing some sunshine and a risk of grass frost overnight.
So Saturday the best day of the weekend. Enjoy the sunshine if you can and don’t forget you can follow me on Twitter @derektheweather.
