A Met Office forecast for North East Wales states: "Heavy rain and perhaps some snow in the northeast slowly clearing, otherwise briefly fine. Further showery rain developing from the south, heavy in places with thunder and hail. Windy with coastal gales possible in the south. Feeling rather cool.
"Blustery showers continuing this evening, these heavy carrying the risk of hail. Turning drier overnight with clearer spells and a touch of rural frost under the lighter winds."
The outlook improves for the start of the Bank Holiday weekend - with a mixture of sunny spells and blustery scattered showers for Good Friday. Feeling warm in any prolonged sunshine.
