Tomorrow another band of wet and very windy weather quickly pushes into the west. Severe gales are possible in exposed parts of the north west. During the second half of the day heavy rain spreads eastwards across all regions, but it will probably be patchier in south eastern England. The north has quite a chilly day and over the Scottish mountains snow is possible. The south remains mild.

Unsettled weather continues

Sunday is looking wet in southern and central regions. It will also be windy with gales in exposed western locations. The outbreaks of rain possibly reach Northern Ireland and northern England, and over the Pennines they may turn to snow. Scotland has sunny spells and wintry showers. It stays mild in the south but the north will be rather cold. 

The unsettled theme continues next week. All regions have rain at times and it will be cold enough for snow over high ground in the north.
