Confidence
High confidence for the ongoing unsettled weather, however the day-to-day detail remains lower in confidence. Timing of showers on Friday, is moderate confidence. There is also moderate confidence for more organised rain to move in on Saturday, however the timing of this currently remains low confidence. Confidence is then very low for any shower or wind details Sunday onward, including the potential for stronger winds next week.

Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
A mixed day, with conditions on the tops quickly varying from fine to hazardous, with low cloud, heavy rain and the outside chance of thunderstorm. Waterproofs will be needed, and while sunshine will be limited, spells of Moderate UV are also likely.
Weather
Rather cloudy with the odd shower at first. Cloud will break during the morning, allowing brief brighter or sunny intervals. Showers then redeveloping from late morning, turning heavy at times. While less likely than on Thursday, the odd rumble of thunder cannot be completely ruled out.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
40% overnight, improving to 80% by the morning.
Low cloud and visibility
Areas of cloud are likely to obscure hills above 500m during the morning. Cloud lifting and breaking by mid-morning to be just above summits. However the odd patch returning above 500m, mainly associated with any heavy showers. Outside of cloud, some good or very good views are possible, however these falling to moderate or poor with the showers.
Ground conditions
No recent ground conditions report available.

Chance of cloud-free hill tops
60% with best chances mid-morning.
