Headline:

Mainly dry and cold today.

Today:

Any fog patches dispersing this morning. Otherwise it will be a mainly dry with variable amounts of cloud and some bright spells. Chance of the odd shower across Galloway. Cold. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Tonight:

This evening will be dry. Then the rest of the night will be largely dry with clear periods with patchy frost and fog. The odd shower across Galloway later. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Thursday:

After a dry start rain and hill snow will spread northeast during the afternoon followed by a few showers. Breezy later. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Widespread rain and snow at first on Friday, otherwise very windy, perhaps stormy for a time, with showers. Scattered wintry showers Saturday. Further rain and strong winds 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.
