Early rain clearing to a dry, bright and mild day.
Any early rain soon clearing to leave a dry, breezy but increasingly bright day with plenty of sunny spells developing by late morning. Winds will slowly ease through the afternoon and it will feel mild for all. Maximum temperature 13 °C.
Dry at first before a spell of heavy rain pushes in and clears again by midnight. Thereafter, breezy with clear spells and scattered heavy showers but staying rather mild. Minimum temperature 7 °C.
Cloudy in the morning with outbreaks of heavy rain spreading across all areas. Becoming brighter for a time, before skies cloud over again by the evening. Feeling colder later. Maximum temperature 11 °C.
Cloudy and breezy on Saturday with outbreaks of rain and possible snow. Bright on Sunday and Monday with a risk of light snow overnight. Cold with widespread frost.
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.
