There will be more rain for Merseyside in the next few days and it stays chilly.

April showers are whizzing in from the NW as shown on the Netweather Radar. During Thursday, there will be lots of blustery showers and it will feel cold in the wind. Sunny spells will appear in-between. There has been an early glut of showers but these have now cleared off over Wales. There is a large clear gap for the rest of the morning, bright and sunny.

Friday, Ladies Day looks better. It will stay cold but there’ll be lighter winds and sunshine in the morning. Temperatures may peak at 12C, that’s not great and cloud will increase in the afternoon. At the moment, the incoming band of rain shouldn’t arrive until after dark, but just keep an eye on the forecast to check it doesn’t speed up.

The charts below show the total forecast rainfall amounts in mm,each for 24 hours. Thursday's from showers coming in from the NW through the day and Friday's  evening frontal rain.

Saturday

Crabbies Grand National #CGN16 is the number one public betting race in the UK. It's this Saturday at 5:15pm for the Steeple Chase. It's on Channel4 Racing.

So moderate rain is expected Friday night into Saturday, clearing  to leave the risk of a touch of frost briefly. Saturday could be bright, cool with a SW breeze and a small chance of showers but lengthy dry times with sunny spells. Not bad but still chilly.
