Mist thinner in the afternoon with some hazy brighter spells likely. Dry with light winds in the evening and mist perhaps thickening to fog or freezing fog, but visibility most likely above 200m. RSTs dipping below zero, but again varying amounts of cloud and formation of fog likely to cause fluctuations in RST and some may rise and dip above and below zero in response to these variations. Thursday morning mist or fog gradually clearing with some brightness likely. Minimum RSTs minus 3. |
