England & Wales sees fairly extensive low cloud, with only highest tops possibly poking just above cloud. Wind fairly light.
Fairly extensive hill fog most likely up to tops. Chilly.
Southerly 10-20mph at first. Turning southwesterly and rising slightly through the day.
Minimal effects through much of the day.
Very little or no precipitation
Possible snow grains falling briefly on some slopes.
Mostly foggy hills: occasional breaks on highest ground

Mostly small.
Chance of patchy rain.

Little or no sunshine. Mostly good visibility.
3C, possibly up to 5C if inversion persists.
2C, rising to 5C
Gradually lowering pressure and falling temperature during the days ahead - mountain tops dropping sub-zero widely into midweek. Some areas of precipitation, most frequent in western Scotland early in the new week, falling as snow over higher terrain, although total amounts generally small. Blustery over some higher slopes with marked wind chill, but speeds relatively light for many into midweek. Winds are likely to strengthen toward next weekend as deeper areas of low pressure over the Atlantic approach. Late January is likely to see more frequent precipitation and periods of gales or possibly stormy winds at times; fluctuating temperatures and freeze-thaw cycles.
