Attercliffe (South Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Cloudy, with outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow clearing. Windy.

This Evening and Tonight:

Organised bands of rain and sleet, with further snow over high ground through the evening, gradually clearing overnight though isolated snow showers remain possible. Strong winds throughout. Cold and frosty with icy stretches. Minimum temperature -3 °C.

Wednesday:

Mostly dry, windy but bright with long sunny spells and patchy cloud on Wednesday. Chance of showers later in the day. Increasingly cloudy overnight but staying bitterly cold. Maximum temperature 2 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Early rain, sleet and snow clearing east Thursday to brighter conditions. Becoming windy with a chance of heavy snow overnight into Friday, especially south. Sunny, with light winds probable Saturday.

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.
