Great Heath (West Midlands Conurbation) weather

Headline:

Staying generally cloudy this weekend, but sunnier early next week.

This Evening and Tonight:

Staying cloudy this evening and overnight with any clear intervals isolated and brief. Remaining largely dry but the odd spot of drizzle is possible over higher ground. A fairly mild night underneath the blanket of cloud. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Saturday:

Another predominantly dry and cloudy day but occasional glimmers of brightness are possible. The chance of a few spots of drizzle in places too. Feeling chilly despite light winds. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Largely cloudy on Sunday with the odd shower but a better chance of brightness compared to recently. Dry and much sunnier early next week with colder nights and some frost.

High pressure from early in the week likely reducing its influence during the middle of next week though to an uncertain degree. Likely turning cloudier again across many areas with a chance of showers or longer spells, most probable in parts of the north and east. Southwestern areas have the greatest chance of maintaining largely dry conditions. Temperatures around average but with a greater chance of mild conditions in the northwest and below average temperatures in the southeast. During next weekend and into the following week there are signs that the influence of high pressure will decline to the west. This means northern and eastern areas remain most likely to see more unsettled conditions. This also increases the likelihood of a spell of northerly winds and colder conditions.

Signals vary in prevailing weather patterns through this period but likely more unsettled than during early November. There is a greater chance of more mobile weather patterns which would see Atlantic systems periodically move across the country. These bringing some wetter and windier interludes followed by drier periods. Some colder interludes are possible but overall temperatures more likely to be around or above average.
