Next week begins on an unsettled note as an area of low pressure tracks eastwards. It is likely to bring outbreaks of rain to much of the southern half of the UK. In northern England, southern Scotland and Northern Ireland there is a risk of snow, and disruptive accumulations are possible in places. They are most likely over high ground such as the Pennines.
The wet weather clears eastwards to leave cold conditions in all areas. Nighttime frosts become widespread and potentially severe in the north. Wintry showers continue, with most of them in northern Britain and north facing coastal counties. By Thursday another disturbance could push in from the west bringing more prolonged spells of rain, sleet and snow. It could track further south than the first one but it is too early to be confident.
