Area of rain, sleet, snow soon spreading to all.
Dry start in Angus and eastern Tayside. Otherwise overcast with rain, sleet, snow extending from the south and west to reach all from early afternoon. Snow reaching quite low levels inland, with some heavy falls over higher ground. Maximum temperature 5 °C.
Overcast with area of patchy generally light rain sleet and snow continuing. Around the immediate coast mostly falling as rain, but inland generally sleet and snow. Minimum temperature -3 °C.
Area of sleet and snow and coastal rain erratically clearing southwards as sunshine and isolated wintry showers follow from the north. Maximum temperature 5 °C.
Mainly dry, bright, but cold with widespread frost. A few isolated wintry showers in northern Tayside, Angus, perhaps around Dundee and coastal Fife.
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.
