Middlesbrough F.C. (Middlesbrough) weather

Headline:

Drier and brighter after a frosty and icy start.

Today:

Frosty and sunny start for most places, with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces, and also the chance of a few early coastal showers. Then dry and sunny, although the sunshine becomes watery as high cloud gradually arrives. Cold. Maximum temperature 4 °C.

Tonight:

An early frost develops before outbreaks of snow spread east overnight, with snow even to low levels for a time, where slight accumulations are possible, more at higher levels. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Sunday:

Early snow soon clears eastwards, then brighter conditions follow before a narrow band of heavy rain moves quickly east through the afternoon. Rather cold. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Monday and Tuesday bright or sunny spells and scattered showers, these sometimes heavy through Monday. Wednesday cold with possibly spells of rain and hill snow, probably becoming windy.

Showers or longer spells of rain as well as occasional strong winds are most likely as Atlantic low pressure systems dominate in the vicinity of the UK. Some heavy rain is likely in places, with some snow at times in the north, mainly on high ground. Temperatures varying from around average to cold at times, especially in the north. While unsettled weather is likely to dominate, there will be some drier interludes between weather systems. Later in the period, there is a chance that more prolonged drier and settled conditions may begin to develop.

Low confidence in the dominant weather patterns during this period. There are signals for both unsettled conditions, bringing a risk of some heavy rain, but also periods of drier, more settled weather, which may mean colder conditions. The latter, more settled pattern is looking slightly more probable at this stage, especially early in this period.
