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. Soon largely dry, wind fairly light.
North to northwesterly 15-20mph for a few hours around dawn into the morning. Becoming northeasterly or variable, tending to ease to 10-15mph, but may be 20mph again toward dusk.
Fairly small, but notable wind chill where exposed on tops.
Isolated showers
Remnants of overnight rain soon clears southeastwards around dawn, to leave often dry conditions. Scattered hail showers into afternoon.
Lifting above most tops
Banks of cloud across the hills from dawn, gradually lifting toward higher slopes and breaks to many summits. Higher Pennines may hold onto cloud for longer.
70%
Cloud layers breaking up periodically to give sunshine. Visibility soon mostly excellent.
6C
8C rising to 13C.

Low confidence: Variable direction, likely east becoming southerly, 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.
3 to 5C.
Starting below 5C some valleys; struggling to reach 10C all day if developing rain then persists.

North to northwesterly, 25 to often 30mph, may reach 40mph, perhaps 50mph for a time on higher Pennines.
Considerable buffeting at times on higher terrain, in places arduous conditions; significant wind chill.
Occasional showers, hail
Risk of isolated showers spreading from the north occasionally through the day, perhaps frequent for a time east and north Pennines in morning, with brief hail.
Mostly very little
Patches covering some slopes in morning, but soon breaking above higher summits.

Bursts of bright sunshine. Excellent visibility.
3 to 5C.
4C or below from dawn, rising to 12C afternoon.
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.
