Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Remaining chilly and breezy on Thursday with bright spells and scattered showers. Becoming drier with lighter winds on Friday. Mostly dry on Saturday with sunny periods.

The weekend will continue on a cool theme, but with the high pressure to the north becoming more dominant it should lead to a reduction in shower activity seen on previous days. So there should be a good deal of dry weather with plenty of sunshine by day, but still some noticeably chilly nights with frost fairly widespread. The odd fog patch is possible in the north, and a brisk breeze across the south will make it feel notably chilly here on Saturday. Next week is likely to see a gradual transition to less settled conditions as the high likely withdraws to the east. So rain or showers at times, mostly focussed across the south, the north perhaps staying largely dry and it is also likely to become much milder.

Confidence is low, but through the remainder 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.
