Argyll (Argyll and Bute) weather

Headline:

Cold with rain and hill snow spreading northeast today.

Today:

A few showers at first this morning, otherwise mainly dry start. Rain and hill snow will spread northeast later this morning. Drier weather with a few showers will gradually follow on behind from mid-afternoon. Cold. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Tonight:

Any showers soon dying out this evening otherwise dry, a few icy patches. Widespread rain and snow will spread northeast later along with strong to gale southeasterly winds. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Friday:

Rain and snow soon clearing. Then cloudy with showers or longer spells of rain, far south drier. Very windy with severe gale to storm westerly or southwesterly winds. Cold. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Cold and breezy on Saturday with wintry showers across Argyll, dry elsewhere. Dry for most of Sunday but outbreaks of rain later. A few showers 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.
