Noctorum (Merseyside) weather

Headline:

Dry with clear spells bringing an early frost this evening.

This Evening and Tonight:

Dry with clear spells developing this evening, allowing a rural frost and patchy fog to form overnight. Cloudier in the west with patchy light rain for some. Light winds for most but becoming breezy along the west coast by morning. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Thursday:

A wet and windy day. A band of heavy rain spreads eastwards, bringing snow to the Pennines and higher ground. Bright or sunny spells later, interspersed with further blustery showers. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Wet and very windy on Friday with Storm Éowyn bringing widespread gales and snow over high ground. More settled on Saturday, though still breezy with further wintry showers on Sunday.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. During Monday, another deep area of low pressure looks likely to move across the UK from the Atlantic, bringing wet and windy conditions to most if not all parts. Further spells of wet and windy weather look like moving east from the Atlantic to affect the UK during the rest of the period too, with drier, brighter spells in between. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall are likely to end up being around or slightly above average, though wind and rain will make it feel chilly, and brief cool spells with some overnight frost are likely between weather systems.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. These may become increasingly confined to northern parts during this period though, with pressure possibly building across southern areas in particular. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost and temperatures falling a little correspondingly.
