Thursday generally cloudy with showers or longer spells of rain for most places. Possibility of coastal gales in the west, otherwise lighter winds and temperatures near normal, perhaps rather cold in the north. Remaining largely unsettled Friday and Saturday, with some hill snow likely at times, mainly in the north. Temperatures moving closer to average, and the chances of gales continues. Further into the period, breezy with further showers and longer spells of rain at times, heavy rainfall moving further south. Clearer spells following any prolonged rainfall, with some showers becoming wintry. Towards the end of the period, more settled conditions likely with mild temperatures, but the chance of some cold interludes bringing a risk of frost.

Getting into the Christmas period, it is likely to be milder than earlier in the month, with temperatures near to above normal, although some colder spells remain possible. It is likely to become more settled around Christmas and towards New Year with increased chance of overnight frost and fog during clearer spells.
