Ipswich (Suffolk) weather

Headline:

Cloudy overnight with periods of sleet

This Evening and Tonight:

This evening a slight frost develops for many places before cloud thickens. Overnight outbreaks of sleet and snow and strengthening winds spread east, significant snow accumulations are not expected. Becoming windy along the coast. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Sunday:

A spell of sleet or snow is possible for a time in the morning before milder conditions arrive from the west. Then temporarily dry and brighter before heavy showers arrive. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Monday bright or sunny spells and scattered showers. Tuesday mostly dry with bright or sunny spells. Wednesday spells of rain are likely, and possibly becoming windy. Temperatures near average.

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 probable at times, mainly on high ground in the north. Temperatures varying from around or a little above average, especially in the south, 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 and possibly strong winds, but also periods of drier, more settled weather, which may mean slightly colder conditions. The more settled pattern is looking slightly more probable early in this period, with more unsettled conditions currently looking slightly more probable come the end of the period.
