Southwell (Nottinghamshire) weather

Headline:

Remaining unsettled over the next few days but turning mild

This Evening and Tonight:

Remaining overcast and settled with some patchy light rain and fog over the Derbyshire hills. The wind will become light and variable. Perhaps a slight frost in places. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Friday:

Cloud thickening during Friday, turning windy as a band of locally heavy rain moves though from the west, followed by showers. The wind will also freshen during the day. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Rain on Saturday, heavy at times over the hills. Windy. Sunday will be mostly dry though cloudy with showers over Derbyshire hills. Rain later on Monday. Temperatures feeling milder.

Broadly changeable during this period with Atlantic frontal systems moving across the country and shorter dry and bright interludes in-between. Rain and showers typically heaviest and most frequent in the west, with more sheltered eastern areas seeing much smaller amounts of rain. Often windy with a chance of gales at times. Temperatures well above average at first, likely falling closer to average towards the end of February and into March, perhaps briefly cold enough for some wintry showers or even snow in upland areas of the north. A very small chance of more settled weather by the end of the period.

Confidence remains low through this period. The most likely outcome is a continuation of rather changeable conditions, with low pressure systems tending to pass close to or across the UK, bringing occasional spells of wet and windy weather, especially in the north and west. High pressure to the south may build across the UK at times to bring some drier, quieter interludes, this probably most frequent in the south and east - the chances of prolonged settled weather look very low. Temperatures are likely to be near or slightly above average for the period as a whole, though some relatively short-lived interludes of colder conditions remain possible.
