WEATHER: New Year's Eve
An improving story for a time this afternoon.
After a wet & windy start skies will brighten despite winds remaining strong.
This evening and overnight many eastern parts will remain dry and clear with a touch of frost possible.
Showers will develop in the west this evening and they could well turn to sleet and snow over higher ground.
