Hunterston (North Ayrshire) weather

Headline:

A few showers across Argyll, otherwise mainly dry.

This Evening and Tonight:

Staying cloudy in the west with scattered showers through the evening and overnight, mainly over Argyll and the Ayrshire Coast. Most areas further inland remaining mainly dry with some clear intervals, and some patchy fog and frost. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Wednesday:

Mainly dry with bright or sunny spells developing, but a few showers around the coast. Light winds. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Some rain Thursday then brighter, showers. Rain, starting as snow higher ground, on Friday then blustery, wintry showers, severe gales. Saturday bright, scattered wintry showers, winds easing.

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.
