Paxton (Scottish Borders) weather

Headline:

Cloudy morning, bright spells later.

Today:

A quite cloudy morning with the chance of the odd shower. Then becoming dry with bright or sunny spells developing through the day. Light winds. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Tonight:

Staying largely dry through the evening, perhaps the odd shower in the west overnight. Clear spells and variable amounts of cloud will allow some frost to develop in the east. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Wednesday:

Mainly dry on Wednesday with bright or sunny spells, the odd shower may develop in the southwest. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Rain for a time on Thursday. Rain and hill snow at times on Friday and very strong winds developing. Strong winds and wintry showers gradually easing through Saturday.

This looks like being and unsettled and disturbed period of weather across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts, with southern and eastern areas probably missing the worst of the conditions a lot of the time. Over the weekend, after Friday's deep low and associated stormy weather, another system looks likely to move towards the UK from the Atlantic, driven in by the strong jet stream. 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 normal or slightly above average, though given the strength of wind at times, it probably won't feel especially mild, especially when it's raining too.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds, alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes, but with time these should become increasingly confined to northern parts. Pressure may build across southern areas, which would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly.
