Quick look at today!

It’s a generally fine, dry and pleasant day ahead for most areas with slightly cooler temps than yesterday and much cooler than last week. Cloud and rain will migrate south over Scotland but it’s likely to be just cloudy from the Central Belt on south. The rain should remain over the Highlands and over to Aberdeenshire. In the north and west it should remain milder than last night thanks to the cloud cover but over central and southern England, especially south Wales and southwest England, it will be coolest here with frost under clear skies.

Monday

As the cold front pushes south it will draw rain and then snow down through Scotland and into Northern England during the day. Low levels will remain rainy while snow falls at around 300 metres and above. The rain progresses southwards through the late afternoon and evening bringing much welcome rain to the drought areas.

Monday night into Tuesday

It’s into the evening hours Monday where the snow levels may start to drop as does the temperature. The cold front marks the dividing line between milder air and a colder maritime-polar air and through tomorrow the temnperature will become notably colder down here at the surface as this air mass works it’s way in. The upper levels of the atmosphere is turning very cold compared to what we just saw. This colder atmosphere will eventually cover all of the UK by Tuesday, we must watch out for rain changing over to snow over the Central Belt and roads across Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire and Dumfries and Galloway including the M74 overnight Mon into Tuesday. Roads could turn snowcovered and icy.

During Tuesday rains should clear from north to south and highs will be a chilly 3-6C in Scotland and northern England, 6-9C in the south. Factor in a cold northerly breeze it it will feel like winter once again.

Tuesday night

Tuesday night will see lighter winds, widespread clear skies and with a cold air mass in place, a hard frost and temps widely down to between -2 and -7C will make for a real shock to the system. Watch for icy patches.
