Planning Outlook
West to southwesterlies prevail with high pressure extending across Britain for rest of the week, keeping dry conditions for most, although some rain may continue to affect northwest Scotland. Low cloud fairly widespread, some fog into valleys, with local inversion conditions developing. On Friday chillier northwesterly air is likely over the Highlands, dropping to freezing over higher Scottish mountains, some showers with snow - elsewhere dry and staying mild. Later back to west and southwesterlies, high pressure shows signs of keeping most of Britain dry until end of next week.
