Blackpool International Airport (Lancashire) weather

Headline:

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

This Evening and Tonight:

Another generally cloudy evening and overnight period but occasional clearer spells are possible, especially across Cumbria. Remaining largely dry but the odd spot of drizzle is possible over higher ground. Turning rather chilly where any cloud breaks persist. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Saturday:

Another predominantly dry and cloudy day but sunny intervals are possible in places. The chance of some drizzly outbreaks over the higher ground of the Pennines. Feeling chilly. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Cloudy and damp for much of Sunday, with drizzly rain at times. Much brighter on Monday and Tuesday with plenty of sunny periods. Chance of frost and fog developing overnight.

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.
