Alloa (Clackmannanshire) weather

Headline:

Mainly dry and bright on Tuesday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Any showers again confined to the far west of the area. Vast majority dry with clear spells and light winds bringing a frost for many come dawn. Fog patches forming overnight. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Tuesday:

Mainly dry with sunny intervals, chance of the odd shower across western Tayside. Overnight fog slowly lifting by early afternoon. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Wednesday cloudy and breezes with periods of rain perhaps turning heavy in the west. Thursday and Friday brings occasional showers, these focused in the west.

The unsettled theme is likely to continue through the first part of this period, with further rain or showers affecting many parts at times, and often accompanied by rather windy conditions. In the run up to Christmas, there is a signal for less unsettled conditions to begin to take hold, with a greater chance of high pressure developing in the vicinity of the UK compared to the previous few weeks. Whilst the chance of impactful rain or strong winds should reduce, there may be an increasing incidence of overnight frost and fog, the latter perhaps taking its time to clear, given the time of year. A gradual reduction in temperatures seems likely, falling closer to average overall. Some cold days are possible, if or where any fog persists.

High pressure will probably be close by to the UK at the start of this period, which would maintain a fair amount of dry, settled weather. With this comes the potential for fog and frost, and lower temperatures overall, though nothing unusually cold is currently signalled. Towards mid-January, perhaps a greater chance of more changeable conditions re-asserting themselves, though this is rather uncertain at present.
