No big surprise that the disruptive snow swept through the Central Lowlands given the concentration of shower activity was within the West and through the Central Lowlands, blowing in on a near gale-force westerly and where coldest 850mb temps were (between central Scotland and N England).

The air which delivered the snow, was over Arctic Canada just two days ago but blown in on hurricane force northwest winds around the base of Greenland.

With clearing skies over fresh snow cover across the North, tonight could be one of the coldest since November.

Improving weather for UK late week into weekend

A large low spinning over Iberia, France and southern UK mid and late this week will provide cool, unsettled conditions with wind, rain and mountain snowfall while the Azores high builds in top of this cut off low providing Ireland and Scotland with cool but largely dry, bright weather. The high takes over all of the UK by week’s end. Expect night frosts but daytime temps moderate to mild levels across the board this weekend.
