The week starts with quiet weather and, in the short term not much will change. However, as we head into the New Year a potent Arctic plunge is expected to develop, bringing the potential for a spell of severe wintry weather. At this stage, it’s not possible to be confident about the risk of disruptive snow, but it is something to keep an eye on as forecast details begin to firm up in the coming days.

Wintry period develops

New Year's Eve: Showery rain pushes southwards across Scotland, and as colder air begins to feed in from the north the risk of snow starts to increase. Other parts of the UK have a dry and cold day. 

Outlook: Progressively colder conditions push southwards in the coming days. The risk of sleet and snow increases, particularly in northern Scotland and coastal counties. Frost becomes increasingly widespread and sharp. Some computer models are indicating the potential for severe wintry weather.
