Becoming extensive
Varied cloud banks from dawn, may be above higher slopes for a few hours, but as rain develops, widely filling in across the moors, to mid-elevations many places.

Varied, but mostly small
Rain on and off, may set in
Likely areas of rain moving around slowly, some heavy showery bursts mixed in, may develop more widely into more persistent rain over a few hours.
Varied cloud banks, lowest in rain
Banks of cloud across many hills from dawn into the morning, lifting toward higher slopes, some breaks if dry, but lowering over the moors widely in rain.
40%
Largely cloudy, rare if any weak sun. Visibility good below cloud if dry, but expect misty spells over hills.
8C, little change all day.

Fronts moving in from the Atlantic by Sunday bring rain, widely setting in heavy for several hours, soonest Wales, here later clearing. A more unsettled outlook into next week as low pressure dominates with areas of rain and showers, which will vary locally day-to-day. Wind speeds will also vary, but some lulls. Potentially significantly colder later in the week with northerly winds, dropping below freezing on higher mountains, with snow showers especially Scottish Munros.
