North West

Cold and frosty tonight, then wintry showers and sunshine Friday.

• A dry and clear evening and turning widely frosty and very cold
• Some patchy cloud arriving by dawn across Cumbria but staying dry
• Turning breezier
• Minimum Temperature -4C

Friday:

• A cold and bright start in the south, cloudier in the north
• Wintry showers throughout the day with sunny intervals
• Breezy for a time and feeling cold
• Maximum Temperature 5C

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

• Isolated wintry showers on Saturday
• Sleet and snow arriving into Sunday, perhaps heavy and disruptive in places and clearing early Monday
• Staying cold with a risk of ice

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

• Much of this period is likely to remain colder than average, with an ongoing risk of ice and frost
• There will also likely be wintry or snow showers at times along coastal areas exposed to onshore winds, these occasionally feeding farther inland, but interspersed with some lengthy dry and clear spells
• Some longer spells of rain, perhaps preceded by some sleet and snow, may push into some southern and/or western areas as Atlantic frontal systems attempt to make some progress into the UK, perhaps also introducing something briefly milder
• Towards mid-January there may be a trend towards less-cold conditions more generally, but perhaps with high pressure nearby which could result in fairly settled conditions with an increasing chance of fog

UK Week 3 and 4

• Slowly-evolving weather patterns look most likely through the second half of January, with high pressure often in the vicinity of the UK, although the flavour of the weather we experience depends on where the high and low pressure centres are relative to the UK
• There are currently no strong signals for prolonged cold but spells of cold weather are likely, with frost, fog, and wintry showers
• Pulses of more unsettled weather are more likely across the south than the north, and may bring milder conditions for a time too
