WEATHER: Scattered showers and possible hail expected today

Unsettled conditions expected this week but with good sunny spells at times. Temperatures are set to increase back to the mid-teens by midweek.

Today will start largely dry with sunny spells but blustery showers will feed in from the west through the day with a chance of hail. Highest temperatures of 9 to 12 degrees in fresh and gusty west to southwest winds, with strong winds in northwestern coastal areas, easing later.

Scattered showers will become mostly confined to Atlantic coastal areas with largely dry conditions and long clear spells elsewhere. Lowest temperatures of 0 to 4 degrees with grass frost developing in mostly light southwesterly breezes. Later in the night, a narrow band of rain will move into the northwest.
