During Tuesday and Wednesday an area of low pressure deepens to the south of the UK. That leads to increasingly showery conditions spreading northwards. The showers could merge to give longer spells of rain and and they may become wintry at times. Over high ground there is the likelihood of snow with accumulations possible above 200m.
Through Thursday and Friday the low pressure area pushes northwards keeping the weather changeable. The cold air is expected to be be steadily mixed out, so showers turn back to rain away from high ground in the north and temperatures edge upwards.
In the longer term there is a lot of uncertainty. Computer models show a range of outcomes for the weekend and beyond. On balance cold conditions look likely to continue in the north but in the south it could turn milder.
