The Commandery Worcester (Worcestershire) weather

Headline:

A windy day, with heavy rain spreading eastwards.

Today:

Increasingly cloudy this morning as a band of rain rapidly arrives from the west. Strong winds and heavy outbreaks at times, before turning brighter later in the afternoon. Staying breezy though, with a few residual showers lingering in the area. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Tonight:

Any remaining showers clear to the east leaving a dry and settled evening, however cloud thickens from the west overnight ahead of the arrival of Storm Éowyn. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Friday:

Storm Éowyn brings widespread disruption with heavy rain and gale force winds through the morning. Turning drier and brighter later with winds subsiding, clouds clearing and even some sunshine. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

More settled on Saturday with some sunny spells but turning cloudier and windier from Sunday as heavy rain spreads into the southwest. Unsettled with blustery showers on Monday.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. During 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 with some overnight frost 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. These may become increasingly confined to northern parts during this period though, with pressure possibly building across southern areas in particular. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost and temperatures falling a little correspondingly.
