Some of these showers will be heavy, with hail and isolated thunderstorms possible. Temperatures will drop to between 2 and 5 degrees, as winds shift to moderate, occasionally fresh westerlies, remaining stronger in western coastal regions.
Impact and Travel Considerations
Commuters should be prepared for rapidly changing conditions. Morning mist and fog may reduce visibility, particularly in northern and western areas. Afternoon and evening rains will lead to wet roads and potential localized flooding, especially in low-lying regions. The expected hail and isolated thunderstorms tonight could further disrupt travel and outdoor activities. Exercise caution and stay updated with local advisories.
Looking Ahead
Friday promises to be cool and breezy, with sunshine interspersed with widespread showers, some heavy with a chance of hail and isolated thunderstorms. Temperatures will be cooler than recent days, ranging from 8 to 11 degrees, accompanied by fresh and gusty westerly winds. The showers will ease and become more isolated through the evening. As the weekend approaches, more settled conditions are expected to develop, bringing a mix of cloud and sunny spells with well-scattered light showers. High pressure is anticipated to dominate early next week, leading to predominantly dry weather.
