UK Outlook for Monday 13 Dec 2010 to Wednesday 22 Dec 2010:
A mainly dry start to next week is expected, but with the risk of
occasional rain, sleet and perhaps hill snow in the east. Into the
latter half the first week and into the second week, there is an
increasing chance of snow showers in northern and eastern parts of the
UK, with some significant accumulations likely. Best of any dry and
sunny weather likely towards southern and western parts of the UK,
although even here some snow is possible. Winds are likely to be light
at first, but will become strong towards the end of the first week, with
perhaps a risk of gales in eastern parts. Temperatures will be cold or
very cold throughout, with widespread, locally severe, overnight frosts
and some freezing fog patches developing in places.
