Colebrooke (Devon) weather

Headline:

Occasional bright spells. Turning colder next week.

Today:

A grey start with mist and hill fog, along with some patchy drizzle. Cloud tending to lift to allow one or two bright intervals to develop, especially in the east this afternoon. Light winds, and a little milder. Maximum temperature 14 °C.

Tonight:

Staying rather cloudy across Cornwall, but cloud melting away elsewhere to leave clearer periods overnight. Some mist and fog patches developing with a touch of frost possible in the countryside. Minimum temperature 0 °C.

Friday:

A chilly but bright start to the day for many with any fog clearing. Often cloudy across Cornwall with patchy rain in the south, but plenty of sunshine developing elsewhere. Maximum temperature 13 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Often cloudy on Saturday with occasional patchy rain. Stronger winds on Sunday, with locally heavy rain arriving later. Sunnier with just a few showers on Monday, though turning colder.

Frequent wintry showers are expected, mainly in the north and along eastern and western coasts where exposed to the strong north to northwesterly flow. Snow is likely to fall to low levels, especially in the north. Many inland areas may be largely dry with lengthy sunny spells, especially where sheltered from the flow. However, there is a risk of some more organised areas of rain and hill snow running east across more southern parts. The chance of any widespread or disruptive snowfall affecting more populated areas at this stage remains low though. Cold everywhere with overnight frost, and the strong winds will result in significant wind chill. There is a hint that it may become less cold later in the period, with more of a westerly flow becoming established.

Signals vary in prevailing weather patterns through this period but likely mainly unsettled and rather cold for the start of the period. There is a chance of more mobile weather patterns which would see Atlantic systems periodically move across the country. These will bring some wetter and windier interludes with a risk of some snow, especially for hills of the north. A trend toward less mobile weather or more settled conditions is favoured into December, although some wetter and windier interludes remain likely at times. Temperatures also trending closer to average, especially in the south.
