Thursday -
wind, hardly a breath but what there is coming from the N or NW
temp, same again, max of around 2c min about -2c inland and high ground may get considerably colder
precipitation, hardly a thing, infact probably most of us will get sunshine or at least brightness through very thin high cloud.

But first, an apology, the temperatures will remain seriously lower than i first said, i missed a subtle colour change in the charts, sorry :(

Friday -
pretty much the same all round!
hardly any wind, freezing temps, clear skies or very thin high cloud.

Looking a bit further, it's looking like the start of a thaw on Sunday :eek:

White Christmas? Only what's on the ground!

Temperature will rise enough to start a thaw and it will rain, it may start as sleet or snow in the very early hours but i don't think so! Rain clearing in the evening - No wind again :)

lol ooops - just been looking at the charts and i think i gave a forecast for sunday instead of saturday!

Saturday looking more of the same - snow showers and cold lol

need more beer!

Definitley a very cold start to the new year, freezing temps coming in around 6am on saturday and hanging around until late sunday night or early monday morning, though i don't think we'll get much snow with it. Warming up again on monday for a couple of days and then during the evening on tuesday more freezing temps creep in!
