Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

A broadly changeable pattern will continue, at least through the first part of this period, as further frontal systems move across parts of the UK, bringing rain and stronger winds at times. Weather fronts are likely to be more active across northern areas, meaning the wettest and windiest conditions are more likely here. As they come south, often running in to a ridge of higher pressure extending from the southwest, fronts will generally weaken and rainfall amounts will be smaller. This area of high pressure is likely to become increasingly dominant through the period, with more settled conditions perhaps becoming more prevalent across the UK. In this setup, temperatures will probably pan out close to average overall, with some overnight frost where skies are clear and winds light.

High pressure will likely be more dominant at the start of this period, the centre of which transferring from somewhere west or southwest of the UK to somewhere north of the UK. As such, plenty of dry weather seems most likely, but with changes in wind direction leading to some quite marked differences in cloud amounts and temperature from day to day. Moving further into April, there is a chance that high pressure will become less dominant and thus there is a greater chance of more places seeing some rain and possible stronger winds from time to time. Overall, temperatures will likely be near to average.
