Cold and bright with occasional wintry showers on Friday.
Some bright or sunny periods and occasional wintry showers, these mostly affecting Argyll and Ayrshire, some slight snowfalls on high ground. Best of the sunshine will be in the Glasgow area and Lanarkshire where it will stay mainly dry. Maximum temperature 3 °C.
Snow showers becoming more frequent across Argyll with some across Ayrshire and bringing fresh snowfalls. Only the odd light snow shower reaching Glasgow and Lanarkshire where mainly clear. Frost. Minimum temperature -5 °C.
Another bright cold day, with sunny spells. Still a few snow showers, mostly over Argyll and Ayrshire but a few will push further inland. Maximum temperature 3 °C.
Cold with sunny spells and further snow showers on Sunday. Monday looks dry and sunny, but very cold. Rain preceded by snow possible on Tuesday.
Updated:
The start of the period remains unsettled with strong winds and frequent outbreaks of rain across much of the country, particularly in the north and west. This will likely fall as snow over high ground and may also at times fall to lower levels too, especially over northern and eastern areas. Further into this period unsettled conditions look most likely with low pressure dominant across the UK, bringing changeable weather with periods of rain, showers, and strong winds. Northerly winds are expected at times, increasing the risk of snowfall especially in the north. In the south, milder interludes may occur bringing at or above average temperatures. Overall temperatures are likely to be rather cold in the north but close to average in the south.
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.
