Meltham (West Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Some rain and hill snow into Friday. Brighter later.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showers becoming isolated and mainly affecting coastal districts, with inland frost. More organised rain and hill snow should then moving southwards later in the night, with some low cloud and mist developing. Some icy patches possible by dawn. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Friday:

Cloudy during the morning with some rain and hill snow, but gradually becoming brighter and more showery as the day progresses, ahead of a largely fine end to the day. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Becoming less cold into new week. Perhaps on the cloudy side over the weekend, but any showers increasingly isolated, with some warm sunny spells. Perhaps more generally fine later Monday.

High pressure is expected to be centred to the east of the UK for much of next week. Initially there should be a good deal of dry weather with sunny spells by day, but still the potential for some chilly nights at first. Daytime temperatures will probably start around average, but gradually increase day by day. As we move towards the weekend and into the following week, we are likely to see a gradual transition to less settled conditions. So rain or showers are expected at times, mostly focussed across the south and west at first, then more widely later. With winds predominantly coming from the south or southwest it will also become much milder, possibly warm in places.

Confidence is low, but changeable weather patterns are most likely at the end of March. This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells. Into early April, there may be a transition to more frequent drier and more settled spells. Temperatures will probably be above average overall.
