Heavy rain at first, becoming drier later.
A wet morning with outbreaks of heavy and persistent rain, steadily easing although remaining cold and damp across northern parts in the afternoon. Brighter skies will develop across southern and western parts of the region where it will become mild. Maximum temperature 11 °C.
Mainly dry through the early evening before another spell of heavy rain arrives and clears soon after midnight. Skies will then become clearer again with scattered showers. Rather mild. Minimum temperature 6 °C.
Mainly dry and bright on Friday morning with sunny spells and a few isolated showers. Turning cloudier in the afternoon with occasional rain and drizzle. Feeling colder later. Maximum temperature 8 °C.
Cold but generally dry and sunny through the weekend and Monday with widespread overnight frosts. There remains the possibility of some light snow on Sunday night.
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.
