Generally Bright But Cold For Most
Updated: 11:52am UK, Thursday 07 February 2013
A bright but cold start across the UK and Ireland with a widespread frost for most.
Scattered hail/sleet/snow showers continuing across northern Scotland and eastern coasts of England as well as western parts of Britain.
Throughout the morning it will turn increasingly cloudy from the West as a band of rain moves eastwards across Ireland.
There will be some snow across the hills and mountains of Northern Ireland and eastern areas of the Republic of Ireland, but rain at lower levels.
By the early afternoon the rain band will reach western Scotland, Wales and western England and as it does it becomes lighter and patchier.
Sleet and a little snow is possible to begin with, especially from north Wales northwards, but it should generally fall as rain.
Central and eastern parts of Britain should remain mainly dry and bright with hazy sunshine and the odd snow shower near Norfolk.
Tonight will be mainly dry with clear spells across eastern counties of England leading to a widespread frost.
There is the chance of some patchy light sleet or snow across some central and eastern areas of England giving a local dusting in places.
For western England, Scotland and most of Wales it will be a cloudy night with outbreaks of rain and sleet.
Over the hills and mountains of Wales and the Midlands northwards into northern England and Scotland there is the risk of snow falling at times giving slight accumulations.
Ireland and western Scotland will have mainly rain or drizzle overnight.
Friday will be another bright but cold day for most after a frosty start.
Wintry showers are expected, mainly across Wales, southwest England, East Anglia, southeast England and northern Scotland.
