While Storm Benjamin continues to move up the east coast, a separate, filling low pressure system will move south along the western edge of the UK. These systems are bringing spells of wind and rain to many areas today and into early Friday.

Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Chris Bulmer said: "As Storm Benjamin clears the UK and heads towards Denmark late tomorrow cold Arctic air will sweep across the country, bringing a noticeably chilly weekend as temperatures fall below average.

"Although many areas will see dry weather with sunny spells, it will feel cold in the brisk northerly winds. Showers are expected in the north and west, some of these falling as snow over Scottish mountains."

Next Week
During Sunday, a new weather front will arrive from the west, cutting off the cold air and bringing a spell of rain with conditions remaining changeable into next week.
