Altnahinch Filters (County Antrim) weather

Headline:

Dry, bright, windy at first. Cloudy, evening rain Wednesday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloud and rain soon clearing southeast to allow clearer spells for a time. Some showers then spread in for mainly northern and eastern areas. Strong northwest winds. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Wednesday:

Dry with bright spells through the morning and much of the afternoon, then cloudy with some light rain in the evening. Strong northwest winds at first, becoming light. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Staying cold with some bright spells and a few showers from Thursday through to Saturday, showers perhaps more persistent and wintry for a time late Thursday into early Friday.

A change in weather patterns is likely at the start of this period. Milder air is expected to start to arrive from the west during Sunday as a band of rain arrives. Depending on how quickly the band moves eastwards, this could lead to another spell of snow across northern and eastern areas. A change to milder, albeit unsettled conditions, is then most likely into the following week, probably persisting for the remainder of the period. All areas will see showers or longer spells of rain at times though still with some drier interludes. Potentially windy at times too. Whilst this transition is most likely occur, very cold is expected to remain close to the east of the UK with a small chance of it returning.

The outlook through the latter part of January and into the start of February is typically uncertain. A broadly southwesterly regime is marginally favoured bringing changeable conditions. Spells of wet, windy and mild weather are likely. Some colder, drier interludes with overnight frost and fog are possible. As during mid-January, while milder conditions are marginally favoured, there remains a chance of further cold spells extending across the country.
