The cold and bright conditions continue today but changes are expected this weekend. Showers or longer spells of rain will affect much of the UK on Sunday, with snow over the Scottish mountains. Things become more uncertain next week, and some models are suggesting the possibility of a surprise snow event.

Cold and bright for most

Showers continue in the northern half of the UK with most of them focused on the north west. Other areas have a dry day with sunny periods.

Cold. Temperatures range from 4°C in the north to 8°C near the south coast. Check the weather radar for the most up to date view.

Tonight:
Showers continue in the north and there could be a few in the south west too. Other areas have a very cold night with a  widespread and sharp frost.

Tomorrow: Showers pepper the north west and through the day a band of more persistent rain pushes into northern and western Scotland. Dry, bright and chilly elsewhere.

Sunday: Heavy showers move across southern and central aeras. In the north there will be more persistent outbreaks of rain and over high ground in Scotland snow is likely, leading to significant accumulations.

Outlook: Cold and showery conditions are expected on Monday. During the middle part of the week showers and longer spells of rain are likely across much of the UK. There is a chance of a surprise snow event affecting areas north of London, but confidence in this happening is very low. Nonetheless, it's something to keep an eye on.
