At night, the weather will stay unstable with rain and thunderstorms, while sleet or snow may fall in the mountains. Winds will shift to westerly and northwesterly and will weaken. Temperatures will drop to 12 degrees on the coast, around 9 inland, and near zero in the higher mountains, where frost may form.
On Sunday, expect more clouds at times with local showers or thunderstorms, mainly after noon, and a chance of hail.
