Highlands & Eilean Siar weather forecast
Headline:
Showers, merging to periods of rain in south.
Today:
Sunshine and showers carried across area initially on strong westerly winds. Showers decaying from southwest through the morning, becoming confined to the north from mid-day, as a band of rain spreads to southern areas, turning heaviest in Lochaber. Maximum temperature 5 °C.
Tonight:
Rain in south spreading to all parts overnight, with occasional heavier outbreaks across western areas, as winds back southwest and strengthen toward dawn. Minimum temperature 0 °C.
Thursday:
Seasonally mild, but this matters little as periods of occasionally heavy rain dominate start of Thursday. Rain clear towards mid-day as sunshine and showers follow and strong winds veer northwesterly. Maximum temperature 11 °C.
Outlook for Friday to Sunday:
Unsettled with bands of rain alternating with sunshine and showers. Heaviest of outbreaks focused across west. However day to day detail of timings likely to be difficult to pin down.

UK long range weather forecast
After a wet and windy day Sunday, the beginning of next week will remain unsettled with outbreaks of rain or showers. Thereafter, we should see the dominance of high pressure across the UK. This will allow a shift towards more settled conditions with a good deal of sunshine across most parts. Northern and eastern areas are likely to start this period cold with a chance of wintry showers, these likely falling as snow to relatively low levels at times. Towards the end of next week, the settled weather will spread further east with plenty of sunny spells by day and a risk of frost by night. Following this, it looks to stay mostly dry but it may turn increasingly cloudy towards the middle of February with possible overnight fog.
Updated:
This period seems to trend towards a more typical northwest/southeast divide. The southeast should hold on to the drier and calmer weather for a while longer with a continued risk of overnight frost and fog. Further north, it will turn increasingly unsettled with outbreaks of rain and strong winds at times. Temperatures will gradually return towards normal, but will remain a little below average during the settled spell in the south.
