Additional showers are expected to sweep into the west and northwest overnight, with the possibility of hail and sleet, and a chance of snow on elevated terrain.

Temperatures are anticipated to plummet to lows of 0 to -5 degrees, accompanied by light winds and the potential for some mist and fog.

Come Friday morning, the wintry elements of frost, ice, mist, or fog will gradually dissipate. The inaugural day of meteorological winter promises a very cold day throughout.

Scattered showers are on the agenda, particularly in the northern and western regions, though sporadic showers may also make an appearance along the eastern coasts.

Some of these showers may take the form of hail and sleet. Expect peak temperatures to reach 2 to 6 degrees, with just a gentle variable breeze.
