FORECASTERS have said that spring sunshine could finally arrive this weekend.
The Met Office predict that warmer temperatures will arrive on Saturday, putting an end to the current cold spell and sushering in more seasonal weather.
War air from the south and sunny spells on Sunday could see thermometers reaching the low twenties in Glasgow and the borders, while other areas are likely to experience more seasonal weather.
However, cold winds are likely to remain on the east coast, meaning that some parts of Scotland will have to wait for the spring to arrive fully.
A spokesman for the Met Office said: "From Friday it will be rather cloudy in the east, but we'll see more sunshine in the west and what we'll see happen is the wind shifting round to a more easterly direction.
"This will push the temperature up and we could see highs of around 16 or 17 degrees on Saturday, with better weather following on.
"The real high point will be on Sunday when it would get up into the low twenties in parts of the west, and it will feel like spring has arrived at last."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
