Barguillean Garden (Argyll and Bute) weather

Headline:

A few showers across Argyll, otherwise mainly dry.

Today:

A widely cloudy start with the chance of the odd shower, then some brighter spells developing through the day. Staying cloudier with a few showers across northern and western Argyll throughout the day. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Tonight:

Staying cloudy in the west with scattered showers through the evening and overnight. The east remaining mainly dry with variable amounts of cloud. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Wednesday:

Mainly dry in the east with bright or sunny spells developing, but a few showers around the coast. Maximum temperature 7 °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 frequent 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.
