During Sunday the risk of showers increases in Northern Ireland and the far west of Britain. Over high ground they could be wintry. The rest of the UK probably has another fine day, although there is uncertainty. Some computer model runs are showing showery outbreaks of rain and snow becoming more widespread from the west.
