Headline:

Cloudy and misty with morning drizzle. Turning wet and windy.

Today:

Cloudy with mist for most accompanied by some drizzle. Foggy over hills. Outbreaks of rain and strengthening winds arriving from the southwest from late morning. Rain turning heavy at times. Coastal gales by evening, perhaps severe. Milder later. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Tonight:

Cloudy with the heaviest bursts of rain before midnight. Increasing chance of sleet and snow, especially over higher ground. Winds increasing with gales likely. Strongest near coast giving damaging gusts. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Cold and cloudy with further outbreaks of rain and snow Friday morning accompanied by strong winds. Turning drier from the west with brighter skies arriving. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Saturday bright but cloudier towards far east. Frosty with icy stretches overnight. Sunday probably dry, bright and cold. Chance of rain and snow for Monday, but low confidence currently.

This period carries much more uncertainty than usual as milder air from the Atlantic attempts to displace the cold air over the UK. On balance milder, or at least less cold conditions are likely to make some progress into the country by Monday, bringing a spell of snow for some areas, most likely central and northern parts with rain more likely across the south and west, before it either clears or dies out. Its uncertain as to whether these less cold conditions ever reach the extreme north and east, and here it may well remain cold throughout. Further into next week its likely to remain cold across the north and east, these colder condition possibly extending back into the rest of the country.

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 and spells of wet, windy and mild weather are likely, potentially with some very strong winds at times. However there is a chance that drier and colder conditions could extend into the UK from the east or northeast, along with a risk of some snow.
