Good Friday
An unsettled day is forecast for Good Friday especially across England and Wales as low pressure dominates to bring a persistent risk of rain or showers, at times, throughout the day with locally heavy downpours possible in places too and perhaps with some sleet or wet snow across the Pennines. Drier across Scotland but with some wintry showers possible. Rather cold for all, perhaps with the exception of the far south, the cold accentuated by an east or south-easterly wind off the N Sea. Highs 3C to 7C in the north, 5C to 10C in the south.

Friday Night
Rain and showers are likely to persist into Friday evening and night across parts of England and Wales, still with perhaps some wintry precipitation over the Pennines and Peak District too. Some clearer spells developing though, perhaps especially in the south and south-east of England and across Scotland. A chilly night for all and this accentuated still by a fresh E or NE'ly breeze. Lows 0C to 4C.

Saturday
Low pressure is set to continue to dominate through into Saturday at the moment bringing a further risk of some rain or showers at times, perhaps especially across England and Wales where some heavy rain or showers are possible, perhaps with some sleet or wet snow on hills. Perhaps drier across Scotland, especially W Scotland, but with showers in eastern areas of Scotland. Moderate or locally fresh E'ly breeze for most and rather cold. Overnight frost and icy patches possible. Highs 4C to 9C.

Easter Saturday
Into Easter Sunday and a rather cold start with a fairly widespread frost and some icy patches, especially rurally. Many areas of the British Isles will have a fair weather day with some bright or sunny spells but a few showers can't be ruled out across more central and eastern areas of England and Scotland, perhaps wintry on higher ground. Overall though Easter Sunday is likely to be the best day of the Easter weekend. Highs 4C to 8C at best.
