“The wind will be warm so that by the time you get to midnight it will be 9 to 11 degrees and by midday on Saturday it will be 12 degrees.” The forecast over the coming days is for more of the same with heavy rain across the country on Saturday followed on Sunday by notably colder conditoins with afternoon highs of just 5 to 7 degrees.
