UK Weather: A fine Friday for many

Today

Odd early showers, mainly across northern Scotland, wintry here. Many other areas starting fine and frosty, then keeping plenty of sunshine. This, along with lighter winds, should make it feel less cold. Northwest UK clouding up, gales and rain later.

Tonight

Southeastern areas mainly dry; a few clear spells, perhaps a touch of frost. Rain and gales in northwest UK giving way to showers, as the rain sinks into central areas.

Saturday

Rain turning heavier for a time across parts of southern Scotland, northwest England and Wales. Bright intervals and blustery showers further north. South and southeast England mainly dry until evening.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday

Unsettled; mild with wind and rain on Sunday, although probably more showery for northern Scotland. Colder with sunny spells and showers on Monday, further rain arriving Tuesday after a frost.
