Milder early next week but then colder later

The cold of the past few days is going to be easing from the south. Low pressure takes control and brings mixed weather to all parts of the country, probably with plenty of cloud and relatively low reainfall amounts. We do need to watch the end of the week for the risk of cooler weather returning as rain affects the south, perhaps turning to sleet.
