Potters Bar (Hertfordshire) weather

Headline:

Mostly cloudy tonight, some fog patches developing. Largely cloudy Wednesday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Overcast with rather extensive areas of low cloud forming, and fog covering some higher ground. The odd patch of drizzle likely, with some outbreaks of light rain likely to develop later. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Wednesday:

Dull and murky through the morning with some outbreaks of rain or drizzle likely. Gradually turning drier later with a few brighter intervals possible. Light winds throughout. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Patchy frost and areas of fog early Thursday, then rain and strong winds spreading east, clearing later. Friday, windy with spells of rain. Drier with lighter winds by Saturday.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. During Sunday and into Monday, another deep area of low pressure looks likely to move across the UK from the Atlantic, bringing wet and windy conditions to most if not all parts. Further spells of wet and windy weather look like moving east from the Atlantic to affect the UK during the rest of the period too, with drier, brighter spells in between. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall are likely to end up being around or slightly above average, though wind and rain will make it feel chilly, and brief cool spells are likely between weather systems.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. With time, these may become increasingly confined to northern parts, with pressure possibly building across southern areas. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly.
