It will be partly cloudy and often dry on Saturday with only the odd wintry shower across eastern districts, mainly early in the morning.

Sunday will start out fine and dry with some clear skies, but a weak front will move in during the afternoon, bringing some patchy light rain, occasionally sleet.
