Wednesday 25th 10am Rain, showers, sleet and snow! Highly changeable conditions during the second half of the week across many areas of the UK Risk of rain, sleet and hill snow spreading eastwards overnight and into Thursday Risk of some significant snowfall above 350m or so across the Pennines and Scotland in particular Drier and brighter for many on Thursday and across the north on Friday Further outbreaks of rain across some southern areas on Friday after a chilly start with frost Early weekend outlook is for some rather wet and windy weather across the UK Wednesday A dry and bright and afternoon will become increasingly wet and windy from the west this evening and overnight into most areas. Given that quite cold conditions are in place over the UK then there is a risk of the rain turning to sleet and snow across higher ground from North Wales northwards, but particularly so across N England and Scotland where some significant snowfall is possible in places, primarily above 300m to 350m. Thursday Into Thursday and it’s a wet start for many eastern areas of Scotland and England with outbreaks of rain and showers. However, these wet conditions will clear away into the North Sea with it becoming drier and brighter through the rest of the day. A noticeable NW’ly wind making for a chilly feel. A few scattered showers may develop in places, but most areas will end the day dry and bright and this then sets the scene for a chilly night once more. Friday It’s a chilly start to Friday across many areas with frost possible. As the day progress more southern areas of England and Wales will become cloudier with some outbreaks of mainly light or moderate rain. In contrast most of Scotland, N Ireland and N England will be drier and brighter, with some sunny spells, but equally some scattered showers are possible too. Weekend outlook Risk of wet and windy weather spreading eastwards across the UK during Saturday with heavy rain and gales possible, especially across more northern and western areas. Into Sunday and further strong winds are likely across more northern and western areas with showers or spells of rain are possible, but equally there will be some drier and brighter weather at times too. Potential severe weather and temperatures Risk of sleet and snow on higher level routes across the northern half of the UK overnight may provide some poor driving conditions and localized travel disruption Wet start across many eastern areas of the UK on Friday morning leading to some wet surfaces and poor driving conditions given surface water and spray Icy patches possible at first on Friday morning more locally Temperatures remaining slightly below average to end the week with highs ranging between 6C and 11C generally and feeling particularly chilly in any wet weather. Overnight on Thursday and into Friday morning will be another chilly night with many rural areas at risk of frost and temperatures nearing or falling below freezing.
