Petworth (West Sussex) weather

Headline:

Mostly dry on Tuesday with some early bright spells.

This Evening and Tonight:

Mostly dry and partly cloudy overnight. Any clearer spells will allow temperatures to fall late in the night, with a chance of frost and fog by dawn. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Tuesday:

Some brief bright or sunny spells possible initially after any early fog clears. Cloud thickening and lowering once again from the southeast through the day. Staying largely dry. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

A mostly cloudy Wednesday, with drizzle clearing east. Cloudy with rain Thursday, then windy with cloud and rain Friday. Trending milder, though clear nights will allow cold nights.

This looks like being and unsettled and disturbed period of weather across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts, with southern and eastern areas probably missing the worst of the conditions a lot of the time. Over the weekend, after Friday's deep low and associated stormy weather, another system looks likely to move towards the UK from the Atlantic, driven in by the strong jet stream. 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 normal or slightly above average, though given the strength of wind at times, it probably won't feel especially mild, especially when it's raining too.

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.
