Some, perhaps, more seasonal weather for the UK over the next 48 hours. Yes, a little rain, but also gales and a wintry mix for higher ground to the north west. Some heavy rain is likely across western areas today as the front passes through. Behind it the air turns colder for a time, even allowing showers to fall as sleet and snow down to sea level in the far north, however areas below 500m in northern England will see rain. Turning to tomorrow, a deep, potent area of low pressure rattles in from the North Atlantic and heavy rain will spread in quickly from the west during the early hours, reaching all areas by the morning. Wet weather, combined with widespread gale force winds, reaching storm force along exposed coastal and higher regions could bring some light disruption, especially where the strongest of the winds combine with the morning rush hour itself. Into the weekend and the unsettled weather continues with a growing risk of a cold snap (60% confidence) early next week. Looking forward to wind speeds of 31-40mph tomorrow with 4.2mm of rain and a real feel temperature of -1
