Further showers, but then dry and settled for the weekend.
This Evening and Tonight:
Showers will tend to ease across England and Wales this evening, with fog and frost forming in places overnight. Outbreaks of rain, sleet and hill snow will move southwards across Scotland, Northern Ireland and then into Northern England overnight.
Friday:
Showery rain quickly clearing southwards, leaving another day of sunshine and showers, these again perhaps wintry on the hills in the north. Turning drier later, but feeling chilly.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
Drier over the weekend with plenty of sunny spells on Saturday. A little cloudier on Sunday, with a few showers on Monday. Feeling chilly with overnight fog and frost.

UK long range weather forecast
High pressure is expected to be centred to the east of the UK for much of next week. Initially there should be a good deal of dry weather with sunny spells by day, but still the potential for some chilly nights at first. Daytime temperatures will probably start around average, but gradually increase day by day. As we move towards the weekend and into the following week, we are likely to see a gradual transition to less settled conditions. So rain or showers are expected at times, mostly focussed across the south and west at first, then more widely later. With winds predominantly coming from the south or southwest it will also become much milder, possibly warm in places.
Updated:
Confidence is low, but changeable weather patterns are most likely at the end of March. This means periods of unsettled, wet and windy weather interspersed with some drier and brighter spells. Into early April, there may be a transition to more frequent drier and more settled spells. Temperatures will probably be above average overall.
