Thursday and Friday will be very cold. A more organized band of wintry showers is likely to move southwards across the northern half of the UK, with significant snow accumulations possible in some areas. A few wintry showers may reach southern counties, but these areas probably stay mostly dry.
Over the weekend a low-pressure system will move in from the Atlantic. It will bring wet and potentially very windy conditions, also the rain could be preceded by a period of snow in the north and east. Milder conditions are expected to return to all areas, but there are signs of another cold snap next week.
