Saturday's forecast looks to be sunny in the morning, getting a little cloudy from lunchtime but staying dry and warm, reaching 13 degrees in the day and lows of five later in the night.

From Sunday, the forecast shows to be mostly cloudy, but warmer yet, with highs of 14 degrees and lows of just eight.

Sadly, Easter Monday is expected to have light rain with just a few sunny spells for most of the day, with highs of 13 degrees and lows of five.
