Chilly with eastern showers, tending to be dry for most

A chilly few days ahead as low pressure over northern Europe combines with higher pressure to the north and west of the UK to bring a chilly northeast wind. There will be showers on eastern coasts, but western areas are going to be drier. Hints of some slightly milder weather next week, and staying largely dry too.
