Leek (Staffordshire) weather

Headline:

Storm Éowyn brings very strong winds.

Today:

Today will be very windy with Storm Éowyn expected to bring some disruption. Overnight rain will clear to leave a dry, brighter day with sunny spells. Feeling chilly. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining windy in the north of the region at first but winds continuing to ease overnight. Likely dry with clear periods and turning cold with a rural frost possible. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Saturday:

A mainly dry day on Saturday with plenty of sunshine, although showers are possible after dark. Light winds but turning breezier later. Temperatures near to the January average. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

After a dry start, turning wet and windy on Sunday. Remaining changeable with showers at times on Monday and Tuesday and often windy. Temperatures close to average.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. On Tuesday another widely unsettled day is expected with showers or some longer spells of rain, but also some drier and brighter interludes. Still windy but less so than over the previous few days. Through the rest of the period the strongest winds and heaviest rain will tend to move to the northwestern UK while the south may see more in the way of drier weather. 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.
