Storm Bert to bring possible disruption this weekend.
A cold and frosty start for many, with plenty of sunshine, especially for inland areas. Scattered wintry showers will continue to feed inland along windward coasts exposed to the brisk northwesterly wind.
Showers will gradually fade during the evening, as cloud increases from the west. Turning increasingly unsettled overnight with heavy rain, proceeded by hill snow. Winds strengthening, with gales for some.
Turning wet and windy for all on Saturday as Strom Bert arrives, with some hill snow, particularly across the north. Becoming widely windy with gales for some. Turning milder.
Wet for many on Sunday as rain clears east, with showers following. Drier and brighter on Monday, but some showers still around. Similar on Tuesday with winds continuing to ease.
Updated:
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.
Updated:
The start of this period looks like being largely settled, with high pressure close to if not over the UK. However. there is also a chance of more changeable weather patterns, which would see Atlantic weather systems periodically move across the country. These will bring some wetter and windier interludes with a risk of some snow, especially for hills in the north. These conditions look more likely to dominate towards the middle of December. Temperatures generally close to average through the period.
