Thursday
A bright start to the morning for much of the country, although it is going to be a cold one. The extreme southeast may have the remanants of overnight rain around daybreak, but this will be clearing quickly. Broken cloud drifting onto western coasts too, and another area of cloud and a few showers slipping southwards into Scotland. Little changes in the afternoon with all areas generally dry with good spells of sunshine. The showers over Scotland will fade away and then all parts should be dry. Temperatures will be rising to a cool 9C in northern Scotland, 15C in southern England, the winds easing in Scotland after the starting the day as a brisk north to northwesterly.
Thursday Night
A dry and chilly night ahead across the country. High pressure is going to be bringig light winds to many northern and eastern areas, and these are going to allow soe mist and fog patches to form in more sheltered areas by the morning. Eastern and northern England are going to be most prone to these. To the west cloud is going to be increasing and the winds will be picking up as well. Low temperatures at 3C in northern and eastern England, perhaps even down to 1C in Scotland. A widesprad ground frost here. Nearer 5C in western England.
Friday
A dry start to the day for most of England, eastern Wales and eastern Scotland. Cloud and outbreaks of rain will be spreading to the west and these are likely to become heavier at times through the morning over Ireland. Into the afternoon it becomes wet and windy to the north and west and this rain spreads into all but the far east of England by evening. Brighter weather will be spreading to the west of Ireland bringing a few showers at times here. Highs at 9 to 16C.
Saturday
Rain clears eastwards overnight and is then followed by breezy, brighter conditions. There is the risk of showers through the day for northern western Scotland, and just about any western coast could catch an odd shower. Rain may be affecting southern Ireland and southwest England later. Elsewhere it should be mainly dry and cloud will be broken with some sunny spells coming through. Highs will be close to 10C in northern Scotland, 16C in southwest England.
