Falkirk (Falkirk) weather

Headline:

Mostly dry and sunny Thursday, wintry showers possible in northeast.

Today:

For many it will be a cold, dry and sunny day. However, scattered rain, sleet and snow showers possible across Angus, and perhaps eastern Fife. Largely dry by evening. Maximum temperature 3 °C.

Tonight:

The odd isolated shower in the north at first, otherwise a dry night mostly clear skies. This leads to a cold night with a widespread frost and icy patches. Minimum temperature -8 °C.

Friday:

A dry, cold and clear start. Remaining dry through the morning but cloud building from the west. A mostly cloudy afternoon with some light rain possible. Feeling cold. Maximum temperature 3 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Dry with sunny spells on Saturday after early rain clears. Sunday and Monday will be mostly cloudy with showers often merging to longer spells of rain. Turning less cold.

Unsettled at first with low pressure, to the east, only very slow clearing. This bringing cloud and outbreaks of rain to many areas, accompanied by strong winds and coastal gales. These more unsettled conditions will probably become increasingly confined to the east, whilst showers in the far north are increasingly likely to turn to sleet and snow. A more settled interlude is possible mid-next week, which may be brief or could last a few days, before a trend towards more changeable conditions associated with Atlantic weather systems. Towards the end of the period, an increasing chance of more settled spells. Temperatures overall likely to be a little below average, with further overnight frosts in settled spells.

There is an increased chance of settled spells developing during early December, bringing more in the way of dry weather, light winds, and increased risk of overnight fog and frosts. This is associated with more frequent high pressure which will probably never be too far away to the north. Whilst spells of wind/rain still remain possible, they are likely to be less frequent than usual at first, but a steady increase in periods of unsettled weather across southern areas in particular seems likely as the period progresses. Overall, above average temperatures are slightly more likely, but colder spells, especially at first and in the north, could still occur. One or more spells of snow cannot be ruled out, should weather systems arriving from the south, push north into colder air.
