The Met Office forecast said: "It is likely to be drier than recent weeks, but what does fall is more likely to be of a wintry nature.
"While there is a chance of brief, unsettled spells, which would bring milder air for a time, it would likely also be accompanied by a period of sleet or snow.
"However, when, or even if, this would happen is very uncertain, and overall the main theme will be much more in the way of settled conditions through this period."
