Highlands & Eilean Siar weather forecast
Headline:
Wednesday mainly dry, some coastal showers. Rain and snow overnight.
This Evening and Tonight:
A few showers will continue around the coasts in the Northwest and Hebrides tonight, perhaps the odd one around Wick. Elsewhere it will be dry with some clear spells allowing a frost, moderate in places. Minimum temperature -3 °C.
Wednesday:
Still a few showers around northern and western coasts but for most it will be dry and bright with some sunshine at times. Rain, sleet and snow will develop overnight. Maximum temperature 5 °C.
Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:
Some persistent snow on Thursday morning though rain near north and west coasts, gales over Caithness. Thereafter wintry showers and sunny intervals.
Updated:
UK long range weather forecast
At the start of this period it will remain unsettled with north-westerly winds likely, bringing frequent showers and outbreaks of rain, particularly to the north and west. Likely falling as snow over high ground and at times to lower levels. Windy, especially in the north. 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 at times. Northerly winds are expected at times, which increases the risk of snowfall especially in the north but may bring wintry hazards further south. In the south milder interludes may occur at times 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 nights.
