Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

A calmer interlude to start Friday before potentially turning wet and windy into Saturday morning. Turning colder with a mixture of sunny spells and scattered blustery showers over the weekend.

Winds increasing from the north into Sunday likely to bring cold temperatures and blustery showers through Sunday with some sleet or small hail possible along windward coasts. High pressure then very likely to have increasing influence into the following week with more settled conditions becoming established for a time, though a showery easterly possible in the south. This should mean a good deal of dry weather with overnight frosts along with morning fog patches for some regions. Through to the end of this period there is an increased chance of spells of wetter and windier weather returning, these more likely in the north with southern areas having a better chance of more prolonged settled/drier weather. Temperatures varying around average with both some colder and milder spells likely through this period.

Mostly unsettled conditions appears likely for most, bringing a greater prevalence of rain and showers to most areas but especially the northwest, with some signs that more settled conditions possible, especially across the south later in the month. Some of the showers could be wintry, especially on high ground. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with colder interludes bringing frost and fog.
