Unsettled weekend

The weekend looks mixed. Saturday brings sunny spells and showers which could be heavy in northern England. During the second half of the day outbreaks of rain push into the south west. Overnight and through Sunday they track eastwards across much of England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland probably have a mix of sunshine and showers.

Monday is likely to start dry and bright. Later in the day another area of wet and windy weather moves in from the south west. Overnight it crosses much of the country.

During Tuesday and Wednesday colder arctic air may sweep southwards. Over high ground in the north it could be cold enough for showers to fall as sleet or snow. The frost risk also increases. 

Later in the week milder and unsettled conditions probably return from the Atlantic. Forecast details are very uncertain at this stage.
