Craibstone (Aberdeen) weather

Headline:

Sunny spells but becoming more showery again later.

Today:

A dry morning apart from the odd very isolated shower and some sunny spells. Turning cloudier in the afternoon with a greater chance of seeing a shower, these may be heavy at times and wintry over high ground. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining cloudy with limited clearer spells. Scattered showers continuing through the night with snow over high ground and longer, heavier spells of rain and hill snow in the early hours. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Friday:

Sunny spells in the morning and mostly dry with the odd shower possible. Turning drier for all through the afternoon with longer sunny spells developing. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Settled over the weekend to Monday and remaining largely dry but the odd shower can't be ruled out. Sunny spells breaking through at times.

The dominant area of high pressure will gradually drift away to the east of the UK through the early part of next week. So initially there should be a good deal of dry weather with sunny spells by day, but still some chilly nights with frost in places. The odd fog patch is possible in the north, and a brisk breeze across the south will make it feel chilly here when out of the sun. Beyond that we will see a gradual transition to less settled conditions. So rain or showers are expected at times, mostly focussed across the south at first, then more widely later. With winds predominantly coming from the south next week it will also become much milder, possibly warm in places.

Confidence is low, but through the end of March changeable weather patterns are most likely. This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells. Into early April, there may be a transition to more frequent drier and more settled spells. Temperatures will probably be above average overall.
