Some milder days ahead but turning colder in the north later

Mixed to unsettled weather ahead with rain, heavy at times, and strong to gale force winds on some days. High pressure does always stay close by so there will be some drier periods. The north will get colder later next week with some frosty mornings expected as well as snow over the hills.
