Cold on Friday with occasional wintry showers.
Some bright or sunny periods and occasional wintry showers, these more prevalent over northern counties, but some reaching the south too. The best of the sunshine will be over South Down. Light to moderate northwest breeze. Maximum temperature 4 °C.
Wintry showers will remain quite frequent across the north giving some fresh accumulations mainly over higher ground. Few showers reaching Armagh and Down with clear spells. Minimum temperature -3 °C.
Wintry showers across the north becoming more confined to coastal areas in the afternoon, while the south stays dry with some sunny spells. Maximum temperature 4 °C.
Sunny spells and isolated showers on Sunday. Dry with some sunshine on Monday then cloudier on Tuesday with some rain.
Updated:
Unsettled conditions look likely to dominate for this period, with low pressure across the UK. This should bringing changeable weather to most of the country, with periods of rain, showers, and strong winds at times. While westerly and southwesterly winds are expected to be dominant for most of the period, occasional northerly winds are possible, brining a chance of snowfall, likely confined to the far north. Milder conditions in generally may start to spread across most of the UK at points during most of this period. Towards the end of the period, we may see high pressure bringing a higher than average chance of cold weather with wintry outbreaks. However, there is a chance of drier than average conditions, which would bring increased frost and fog risks.
Updated:
Confidence for this period is low, though low pressure is likely to be dominant at first with an increased chance of northerly winds. This will therefore increase the risk of snowfall especially in the north along with colder than average temperatures, potentially bringing wintry hazards more widely. Through mid-February higher pressure may develop for a time which would bring drier conditions with an increased likelihood of fog and cold, frosty nights.
