Kirkstall (West Yorkshire) weather

Headline:

Generally fine at first, rather wet and windy this afternoon.

Today:

Widely dry bright and frosty start with mist or fog patches gradually clearing. Cloud and outbreaks of rain spread east during the day, accompanied by gusty winds. Rain largely easing by late-afternoon with clear spells developing and occasional showers. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Tonight:

Showers largely easing this evening with widespread clear spells and patchy frost developing. Becoming wet and windy by the morning as Storm Éowyn arrives. Some snow accumulating on western hills. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Friday:

Rain soon clearing to bright or sunny spells and isolated showers, but winds strengthening significantly through the morning. Widespread gales, occasionally severe by the afternoon with very strong southwesterly winds. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Sunny spells, lighter winds Saturday, though still breezy. Wintry showers later. Sunday, fine to start but strong winds, rain, hill snow arriving. Further wet and windy weather possible on Monday.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. During 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 with some overnight frost 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. These may become increasingly confined to northern parts during this period though, with pressure possibly building across southern areas in particular. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost and temperatures falling a little correspondingly.
