Heavy snow showers and strong winds on Thursday.
A band of cloud, rain and hill snow passes south from later in the evening. Colder conditions with frequent snow showers follow, these heavy and perhaps thundery at times. Windy. Minimum temperature -3 °C.
Strong northwesterly winds. The day will feel colder than Wednesday with further frequent and heavy snow showers. Maximum temperature 4 °C.
Very cold conditions with further snow showers continuing, these heavy at times. Friday will be windy with the wind easing slowly through Saturday and Sunday.
Updated:
Cold northerly winds dominant across the UK in the first week of January bring wintry showers (often of snow) to many coastlines (and areas just inland of these) that are exposed to onshore winds. Into the new week more coherent bands of precipitation and thicker cloud will attempt to move in from the west, with a risk of further snow on the leading edge of these turning to rain. Confidence is low in the rate of this return to a more mild Atlantic flow, with a risk of further artic airflows following fronts to resume wintry showers, especially across northern areas of the UK. Temperatures recovering to just below average for most, though further north more likely to return cold at times.
Updated:
Whilst confidence in details is low, by the start of this period the transition back to westerly winds bringing Atlantic weather systems into the UK is expected to be complete, with temperatures most likely recovering to around or just below average. There is perhaps a weak signal for slowly evolving weather patterns to be more favoured than normal, such patterns increase the chances of frost and fog above normal by night.
