Limefield (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Frosty overnight, sunny on Sunday with wintry showers later.

This Evening and Tonight:

Mainly clear skies this evening with temperatures soon falling below freezing. Remaining largely clear overnight and turning widely frosty, with a severe frost developing in places. Icy patches possible. Winds becoming light for most but staying breezy in coastal regions. Minimum temperature -6 °C.

Sunday:

Very cold and frosty to start, then a largely dry morning with plenty of sunshine. Sleet and snow showers for some through the afternoon, perhaps heavy by the evening. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Often sunny and cold on Monday with a few snow flurries possible. A bit less cold thereafter with a chance of rain or snow at times. Frosts and ice likely.

Rather changeable, as Atlantic frontal systems attempt to cross the UK from the west to bring occasional outbreaks of rain, but preceded by snow in some areas, more especially central, northern and eastern parts of the UK, perhaps giving some significant snow accumulations in places, particularly on northern hills. These low pressure systems, whilst could bring some periods of strong winds, will be interspersed with quieter, drier interludes under transient ridges of high pressure with the potential for frost, and wintry showers along coasts exposed to northerly winds. A continuation of this general pattern is favoured into the following week, although perhaps with temperatures trending closer to average such that the frequency of wintry hazards, especially in the south, may reduce slightly.

The outlook through the second half of January is very uncertain, with no strong indication for any particular weather pattern to dominate. As such, conditions are most likely to be changeable. Spells of wet, windy and mild weather are possible at times, along with colder, drier interludes with overnight frost and fog. Snow and ice remain possible, especially in central and northern parts of the UK, but the chance of these is lower than earlier in the month.
