Fountains Fell (North Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Cloudy and windy

This Evening and Tonight:

A few clear spells possible to start the evening, but soon becoming mostly cloudy with outbreaks of rain likely across the Pennines. Windy for much of the night. Minimum temperature 15 °C.

Friday:

A largely cloudy day, though some brighter intervals are possible in the south and east. Rain likely to persist across the Pennines. Breezy at first, with winds gradually easing later. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Changeable for Saturday and Sunday with a mixture of strong winds, outbreaks of rain, and low cloud lingering. Low cloud lifting on Monday to leave a mainly dry day.

It will be fairly settled to start the period but there will be spells or rain or showers in south and eastern areas, near to an area of low pressure. Elsewhere, some fog and frost patches are possible at times. It will also turn colder, as a northerly flow becomes established for a time. Later in the week, more widely drier and settled conditions could develop as high pressure becomes more influential, although probably still with some coastal showers. There may however be some thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain in the far northwest at times. Temperatures should gradually return closer to average in this period. Later there may be a return to a more changeable pattern but this is uncertain.

Confidence is very low in the weather regimes most likely to affect the UK during this period. On balance, there will likely be a transition from slow-moving weather patterns to a more changeable period at some stage although the timing on this is highly uncertain. High pressure probably close to the UK, which would offer some occasional periods of dry weather, will likely give way to a more unsettled period with some short lived dry interludes during this time. Temperatures will likely fluctuate either side of, but often close to, average.
