In Scotland, many places dry, but a few showers moving around slowly, of snow on higher summits. Chilly, but winds light. A complex front drifts east across England & Wales - rain may well largely clear, but risk of showers following, may cluster together.
Cool. Largely dry, wind fairly light.
North to northwesterly 15-20mph for a few hours around dawn into the morning. Becoming northeasterly or variable, dropping to 10-15mph or less afternoon.
Fairly small, but notable wind chill where exposed on tops.
Isolated showers
Remnants of overnight rain clears southeastwards before or around dawn. Then often dry, but expect scattered showers, with hail sometimes to low levels.
Breaks to most tops
Banks of cloud on the fells from dawn, soon confined to higher slopes and breaking to higher slopes. Rare patches below 700m around showers.
80%
Lengthy amounts of sunshine, but obscured at times by banks of cloud at various heights. Visibility excellent.

Low confidence: Mostly east or southeasterly, 15 to 25mph, perhaps 30-35mph for a time.
Fairly small, but risk blustery and chilly on higher areas at least part of day.
Risk persistent rain, heavy showers
Rain is expected to pivot slowly across northern England - duration of heavier rain uncertain. Risk persistent over several or many hours. May become clusters of heavy possibly thundery showers.
Extensive in rain
Likely to cover higher fells much of the day, but forming widely to lower levels if rain sets in. Away from rain, some breaks may occur.
40%
Mostly cloudy, any sun weak through layers of high cloud. Visibility very good away from rain, but poor if rain sets in.

Generally chilly into the weekend with higher mountains near or just below freezing point, and overnight frost in many valleys, notable early-season low temperatures Highland glens. A complex low pivots eastwards on Thursday - rain focused across England, Wales & southern Scotland. Strong northerly winds follow on Friday with scattered hail showers, snow on the Munros. Pressure builds by Saturday leading to largely dry conditions and very clear air. Early next week, westerly winds are expected to return, with rain at times, low cloud and varied temperatures.
