Rain, sleet and snow showers. Drier and brighter afternoon Friday.
This Evening and Tonight:
Rain, sleet and snow showers will continue through this evening and overnight, although becoming less frequent at times. Showers occasionally heavy with some gusty winds. Minimum Temperature -2C.
Friday:
Frequent sleet and snow showers in the morning, but turning drier in the afternoon with some good spells of sunshine as showers become more isolated. Maximum Temperature 6C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
A fine dry start to Saturday, but turning cloudier and windier with rain spreading north in the evening. Occasionally heavy rain clearing Sunday, but further rain or showers on Monday.
UK Outlook for Tuesday 26 Nov 2024 to Thursday 5 Dec 2024:
An unsettled start, with rain or showers in places, and perhaps also some strong winds for a time. Temperatures back towards average for most places, but still mild in the southeast. High pressure is likely to build for a time, particularly across northern areas, bringing an increased risk of some fog and frost. However, this is likely to migrate eastwards during the second half of next week, potentially allowing some outbreaks of rain to move into some western and perhaps southern areas. Into December, and while signals are mixed it looks most likely that high pressure may re-assert itself close to or over the UK, with temperatures generally near average, but some overnight frost is likely, and rather cold by day where any fog persists.
