A mostly dry day, but turning wet and windy later.
A damp start for some but soon turning dry through the morning. Mostly cloudy but spells of sunshine are still possible. Outbreaks of rain, some heavy, will move in from the west during the evening. Breezy initially and feeling mild. Maximum temperature 12 °C.
The rain will spread to all areas during the evening before clearing eastwards. Dry for a time before showers during the early hours. Gales along the south coast before dawn. Minimum temperature 5 °C.
Outbreaks of rain will clear, and winds will quickly ease during the morning. A mostly dry afternoon, with some sunny spells and patchy rain places. More rain moves in overnight. Maximum temperature 10 °C.
A risk of rain, snow, and strong winds on Saturday, easing later. An icy and dry start to Sunday, with rain and snow later. Cloudy and mostly dry on Monday.
Updated:
Going into next week, it is likely that unsettled conditions will dominate, with low pressure systems moving in off the Atlantic. The weather will be changeable. Periods of rain or wintry showers, and strong winds are likely, especially in the west, with brief more settled spells in between. Westerly or southwesterly winds during this period will bring milder conditions to most areas, but occasional interludes of cold northerly winds are possible. It will be on this boundary between the colder and milder airmasses where any snowfall to lower levels could possibly occur. Towards the end of this period, we may see high pressure build over the north of the UK, bringing colder conditions and wintry outbreaks.
Updated:
Although confidence at this range is low, current signals suggest that high pressure could be positioned over the north of the UK during this period. This would likely bring wintry outbreaks and colder than average temperatures to northern areas, as well as increasing the likelihood of more widespread cold spells. Any periods of milder, unsettled weather are more likely to be confined to central and southern areas, where greater than average rainfall is predicted. There is a continued risk of significant snowfall events on the boundary between colder and milder airmasses, with snow possible to low elevations.
