Magilligan Strand, Benone (Beach) (County Londonderry) weather

Headline:

Mostly dry. Some fog at times.

This Evening and Tonight:

Variable amounts of cloud at first, but increasing clearer spells will allow some fog and patchy frost to develop. Staying largely dry, but the odd shower possible along north coast, and perhaps the far west towards morning. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Wednesday:

Areas of fog in central and eastern areas at first slowly lifting, some sunshine. Cloudier in west, the odd shower in Fermanagh the cloud pushing east later. Light winds. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Rain early Thursday then sunshine, a few showers. Overnight rain, hill snow then Friday stormy with blustery showers, these wintry later. Saturday dry, some sunshine, lighter winds.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. During Sunday and into Monday, another deep area of low pressure looks likely to move across the UK from the Atlantic, bringing wet and windy conditions to most if not all parts. Further spells of wet and windy weather look like moving east from the Atlantic to affect the UK during the rest of the period too, with drier, brighter spells in between. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall are likely to end up being around or slightly above average, though wind and rain will make it feel chilly, and brief cool spells are likely between weather systems.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. With time, these may become increasingly confined to northern parts, with pressure possibly building across southern areas. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly.
