WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
====================
Issued: 1430 Thursday 2nd March 2006
FRIDAY (see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/brack0a.gif)
A deep area of low pressure over northeast France, with an occlusion just brushing the Kent coast around midday. A shallow low in the Irish SEa will be part of the flow, drifting southwest. Troughs will be moving southwest throughout the day over Scotland and northern England as well as Ireland.
The far southeast may well see a little more persistent sleet and snow for a time in the morning, although this tending to fade. For most places the day will be cold again with sunny spells and snow showers. Most of the snow showers will be around the coasts of northwest England and Scotland, as well as eastern ireland and northern Wales, where the showers could be heavy. Out of the showers it should be a pleasent day.
Winds will be N-NE 12-18kt (F4) but 6kt (F2-F3) through Northern England and parts of the Midlands. Over southeast England winds could be NE 20-28kt (F6) for a time.
SATURDAY (see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/brack1a.gif)
On Saturday another area of low pressure moves to the northeast of the Shetland Islands, with a north to northwest flow over all areas, strongest to the north. Showery troughs will be moving south in the flow.
Further snow showers for much of Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as the east coasts of England, some of them heavy at times.
For more southern areas it will be a brighter day in sunny spells and a few snow showers.
Winds from the NW 14-20kt (F5) but more variable 5-7kt (F2-F3) over southwest England.
SUNDAY (see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/brack2a.gif)
Low pressure drifting down the North Sea, as a cold front drift southwards. A ridge building into Ireland during the afternoon.
Further snow showers for many northern and eastern parts of Scotland, as well as northeast England. A band of sleet and snow may drift south with the cold front, with thicker cloud bringing sleety outbreaks of to Ireland. Southwest England and southern Wales may have snow through the day. Elsewhere it should be brighter with sunny spells.
Winds will be from the northwest 17-24kt (F6), although 12-16kt (F4) over Ireland.
