Today:

It will be dry but quite misty or foggy through the morning. Becoming brighter through the day with sunny spells developing. A mild day with a brisk northwesterly winds. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Tonight:

Dry but largely cloudy, particularly in the west with some clearer spells possible towards the east coast which may allow the odd patch of fog to develop. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Friday:

Dry and some brightness towards Angus coast. Otherwise cloudy with some patchy rain in west. A spell of heavy rain and strengthening west to southwesterly winds in the evening. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Turning colder over weekend with sunny spells and blustery showers, perhaps more frequent and heavier on Sunday, and turning wintry on hills at first, possibly to lower levels on Monday.

Frequent wintry showers are expected, mainly in the north and along eastern and western coasts where exposed to the strong north to northwesterly flow. Snow is likely to fall to low levels, especially in the north. Many inland areas may be largely dry with lengthy sunny spells, especially where sheltered from the flow. However, there is a risk of some more organised areas of rain and hill snow running east across more southern parts. The chance of any widespread or disruptive snowfall affecting more populated areas at this stage remains low though. Cold everywhere with overnight frost, and the strong winds will result in significant wind chill. There is a hint that it may become less cold later in the period, with more of a westerly flow becoming established.

Signals vary in prevailing weather patterns through this period but likely mainly unsettled and rather cold for the start of the period. There is a chance of more mobile weather patterns which would see Atlantic systems periodically move across the country. These will bring some wetter and windier interludes with a risk of some snow, especially for hills of the north. A trend toward less mobile weather or more settled conditions is favoured into December, although some wetter and windier interludes remain likely at times. Temperatures also trending closer to average, especially in the south.
