And it doesn’t get any better tomorrow.

While the day will start sunny in many areas – showers will become widespread during the day.

It’s looking particularly bad for the midland and western areas with hail, sleet and some snow showers forecast.

Don’t lose all hope though, the forecaster added that “there is a possibility of milder weather returning next week”.
