Cold and wet with rain and hill snow.
Cold with persistent heavy rain and hill snow during the morning. This will slowly ease but it will remain wet with further outbreaks of rain and drizzle throughout the day. Hill snow will turn back to rain. Maximum temperature 6 °C.
Briefly drier through the evening before further heavy rain arrives overnight. This may clear southern parts of the region with clearing skies, but the north will probably stay wet. Minimum temperature 5 °C.
Breezier on Friday with rain gradually becoming more showery but turning increasingly wintry. A few brighter interludes are possible, but it will feel cold in the breeze. Maximum temperature 6 °C.
Cold but often sunny through the weekend and Monday with a few wintry showers possible, mainly early on Saturday and again through Monday. Widespread overnight frosts.
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.
