Settled weather continues

During Friday patchy spells of rain push into western Scotland. The rest of the UK stay dry and after a frosty start in much of the country temperatures struggle. It is likely to be cloudier than recently.

Through Saturday the risk of rain continue in northern and western Scotland. The rest of the country remains dry but mostly overcast. Sunday is expected to bring a carbon copy.

Through the early part of next week high pressure brings more settled weather. There is an ongoing possibility of frost and fog.
