Castle Ashby (Northamptonshire) weather

Headline:

Early rain and fog clearing to brighter spells. Chilly.

Today:

Outbreaks of rain and drizzle, with areas of fog, will slowly clear eastward. Gradually turning drier during the afternoon with brighter intervals developing, especially in the west. Light winds, but still feeling chilly. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Tonight:

Dry for most tonight, with clear spells developing, allowing areas of fog and patchy frost to form. Winds mostly light, but a little breezier by dawn. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Thursday:

A chilly start with fog clearing as wind increases, becoming strong. Clouding over with rain arriving, heavy at times, then clearing later. Feeling cold. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Storm Éowyn will bring strong winds Friday, heavy rain clearing to sunny spells. Winds easing Saturday, sunny spells perhaps wintry showers later. Further strong winds and rain likely later Sunday.

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. With time, these may become increasingly confined to northern parts, with pressure possibly building across southern areas. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly.
