As that cold front sinks southwards tonight it brings that colder air which is already in situ over the northern isles and Shetland today.” By the start of Sunday Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of northern England will see showery outbreaks of rain and colder temperatures as the cold front gradually drifts down the UK. But the forecast turns to the worst in the afternoon, Mr Griffiths warned: “Then that front sinks southwards to bring in colder air and more cloud, temperatures will be decreasing throughout the afternoon.
