Alt (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Cloudy with outbreaks of rain in places.

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloudy for many this evening with patchy rain clearing slowly towards the southeast. Scattered showers may linger along the west coast. Clearer skies in the north allow mist and patchy fog to form overnight. Feeling chilly with a rural frost. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Wednesday:

Scattered showers mostly clear through the morning, with brighter breaks developing into the afternoon, though the odd spot of rain is still possible at times. Light winds, and feeling chilly. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

A band of persistent and occasionally heavy rain spreads eastwards through Thursday before Storm Éowyn brings very windy conditions on Friday. Brighter with scattered showers to follow on Saturday.

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.
