Usk (Monmouthshire) weather

Headline:

Settled in the south, cloudy and damp in the north.

Today:

Early morning mist and fog lift into a blanket of cloud. Dry and settled in the south with the best of the brightness along the south coast. Staying grey and gloomy in the north with persistent light rain and drizzle. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Tonight:

Widely cloudy with rain and drizzle spreading slowly towards the southeast. Low cloud sees the return of hill fog across higher ground, and although chilly, most places remaining frost free. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Wednesday:

Settled with occasional brighter breaks in the southwest, but remaining cloudy for most with occasional spots of light rain or drizzle. Light winds for all. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Turning wet and increasingly windy. Persistent rain, heavy at times spreads eastwards through Thursday and Friday. Frequent, blustery showers to follow on Saturday, though some brighter breaks too.

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, but with time these should become increasingly confined to northern parts. Pressure may build across southern areas, which would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly.
