High Pressure is sat on top of the UK this weekend giving a Lovely Weekend with widespread overnight frosts, with the exceptions being the far North of Scotland and the south coast of England where there may be a little more cloud.

Most places will have wall-to-wall sunshine during Saturday and Sunday, again with more cloud for the far south coast, and northerner Scotland where there may be showers on Sunday these turning wintry later.

Temps Wales -5 to 0 tonight, 6-9c on Saturday, -6 to -1c on Saturday Night, 6-8c on Sunday.

UK Scotland, -1 to 7c, -5 to +2c in England tonight,
6-9c tomorrow generally, and 6-8c on Sunday

Colder Next Week.

Philip Avery on BBC news at 10.35pm Friday: the weather may be a bit "more optimistic" (refering to the climate change stuff on the news). Oooo, a coldie

[mountain shadow]

It shows how uncertain the BBC weather bods are about next week, as they are plainy NOT showing anything or even talking about events beyond Monday.

Could it be a classic Countyfile tomorrow?

[Hagler]

Carol Kirkwood has just done our regional forecast up till Friday, and she went for a few snow showers on Wednesday, dry and bright Thursday and Friday

BBC all morning have said SNow for S England Weds into thurs.. No mention of Northern areas

[MisfitDog3]

Hmmm...Radio 4 weather forecast this morning was going for a substantial snow event over southern England Wed/Thurs so they obviously believe something is up and coming. The models are still shifting around so plenty of time for a substantial upgrade or, obviously, a downgrade.....

Bit of gloom and dowm this morning.

Too me it still looks good for Snow certainly across Northern areas although it's not going to be the cold snap of yester years. This run seems to be a downgrade slight upgrade with the Lows sweeping more into France.

Certainly no mild weather on view at the present time.

There is not going to be any snow in Northern areas. This will be a southern event as confirmed by BBC Forecasts this morning.

Radio and TV are now going for a snow Event over S Britain weds into thurs... I say again Southern Britain.... Philip says will stay mostly fine and dry North of the midlands

[snowmadchrisuk]

Taken from www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather. They say 'MAY' and also mention 'LIGHT RAIN'

Monday day
Many parts dry with sunny periods but cloudier in the southeast. Early frost in places and some fog patches, slow to clear. Occasional showers, mainly over northern and eastern parts, wintry on hills. Rather cold in the wind.

Monday night
Dry for most with clear spells but with a few wintry showers, mainly in the east. A widespread, locally sharp frost developing with some fog patches.

Tuesday
After a widespread frost most places will be dry and sunny. Patchy fog in the Severn Valley may be slow to clear. A few wintry showers may run down North Sea coasts. Cold.

Wednesday
Still feeling cold, but this time there will be much more cloud. Light rain or snow may affect southern parts of England and Wales.

Problematically, the Met Office site is saying that the PPN will turn to rain.
I really believe that its too close to call.

Poor old Northerners. There was never any chance of snow for Northern areas, this has been showing as a southern event for many days.

A southern event of rain and sleet most likely, away from high ground. As for the north, much more likely to see snow in one way or another.

Did you see SUNDAY's Countryfile forecast? they were going for a Northern snow event

And as for your "Poor old Northerners" remark I class that as racial abuse

I think BristolBaggie is slightly dillusional, letting the extremely small chance of snow down here in the southwest get to his head.
