Bishop Auckland (Durham) weather

Headline:

Mostly cloudy. Rain clearing. Possible frost in north.

This Evening and Tonight:

Remaining largely cloudy through this evening and overnight, as rain slowly dies out during the evening. Perhaps some clear spells developing in northern parts, leading to a possible frost in prone spots. Light winds. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Saturday:

Cloud thinning Saturday morning, turning brighter before a band of showers progresses eastward in the afternoon. Skies clearing later, with a possible early frost, then further light rain overnight. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Strong winds Sunday and Monday, with some rain spreading east but also some drier spells. Likely dry Tuesday with light winds and sunny spells. Temperatures a little above average.

Much of this period looks like being largely dominated by high pressure, especially towards the south or southeast of the UK. This will mean many places seeing plenty of dry weather with variable cloud amounts and some sunshine, the best of this towards the south or southeast, but perhaps with some fog overnight. However, frontal systems are still likely to affect the north and west of the UK at times though, maybe also briefly affecting other parts, bringing some rain and strong winds, and perhaps a little snow to the high ground in the north. Temperatures will be near or above normal, although patchy overnight frost is still likely at times.

Little change at first, probably most unsettled in the west and northwest but drier and brighter toward the east and southeast. Lower confidence late-March but perhaps a trend toward more blocked and slow-moving weather patterns, although uncertain whether this will lead to cyclonic and so more unsettled weather or anti-cyclonic, more settled and maybe colder patterns in the vicinity of the UK. In general, some rain still probable but distribution of any wetter areas is extremely low confidence. Temperatures overall near or above average, perhaps with a slightly increasing chance this may trend colder toward the end of the month.
