Bishop's Castle (Shropshire) weather

Headline:

Mostly dry with some sunny spells. Patchy rain later.

Today:

Another cold day is expected, with icy stretches at first and the odd shower, possibly wintry. Gusty winds for a time too. Becoming dry with more in the way of sunshine, and winds easing during the afternoon. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining dry this evening with variable cloud. Turning cloudier overnight with spots of rain, sleet and drizzle arriving from the west. Chilly with a patchy frost, and winds easing. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Thursday:

A cloudy start on Thursday with patchy rain and drizzle. Turning increasingly unsettled later, especially overnight, with heavy rain and snow, accompanied by strong winds leading to difficult driving conditions. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Rain and snow clearing eastwards then a largely dry end to Friday. Brighter and drier on Saturday with frost early and late. Further rain, snow and strong winds on Sunday.

A change in weather patterns is likely at the start of this period. Milder air is expected to start to arrive from the west during Sunday as a band of rain arrives. Depending on how quickly the band moves eastwards, this could lead to another spell of snow across northern and eastern areas. A change to milder, albeit unsettled conditions, is then most likely into the following week, probably persisting for the remainder of the period. All areas will see showers or longer spells of rain at times though still with some drier interludes. Potentially windy at times too. Whilst this transition is most likely occur, very cold is expected to remain close to the east of the UK with a small chance of it returning.

The outlook through the latter part of January and into the start of February is typically uncertain. A broadly southwesterly regime is marginally favoured bringing changeable conditions. Spells of wet, windy and mild weather are likely. Some colder, drier interludes with overnight frost and fog are possible. As during mid-January, while milder conditions are marginally favoured, there remains a chance of further cold spells extending across the country.
