Alt (Greater Manchester) weather

Headline:

Spells of rain continue and turning windier overnight.

This Evening and Tonight:

Staying cloudy with further spells of rain overnight, these merging into more persistent spells in the far south by dawn. Feeling much chillier than recent nights. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Friday:

Wet and windy on Friday with heavy spells of rain in the south at times. Mainly dry across northern counties until the evening. Feeling colder than recent days. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Winds easing on Saturday and any rain eventually petering out. Cloudy skies for many with some sunnier periods. Brighter from Sunday but notably colder in northerly winds, with overnight frosts.

Colder conditions, already affecting the far north of the UK are likely to extend south to affect all pasts through the early part of the period. Initially we may see some less cold conditions with some cloud, rain and possibly hill snow affecting parts of the west. It is as this clears later Tuesday that the colder conditions will extend south, bringing some snow showers into northern parts, and the first frosts of the season for many parts of the south. Later in the period there is increasing uncertainty, but a trend towards more changeable conditions is possible, with some rain or showers in places, and perhaps some hill snow at times in the north. Temperatures overall likely to return to near-average.

Whilst the expected weather patterns during late November are very uncertain, there is a greater chance of spells of high pressure during this period, bringing more in the way of dry weather compared to the current weather pattern, which also increases the chances of overnight fog and frost. There will probably still be some spells of rain, showers, and stronger winds though, especially in the west. Hill snow is also a possibility, mainly in the north. Overall, near or slightly above average temperatures are most likely, though some colder spells are also possible, especially should any prolonged settled spells develop.
