Saturday 9/3/19
Low pressure to the north of Scotland on Saturday, a ridge of higher pressure building to the south. A strong westerly wind bringing showers to many western coasts and hills.

Sunday 10/3/19
An area of low pressure passes eastwards across the UK and Ireland on Sunday. This brings an area of strong winds and heavy rain with it. There is a risk of that rain turning to sleet and snow, mainly on hills, but the risk at lower levels cannot be ruled out. Highs at 3 to 8C.
