Chilly air to dominate the first week of November across the UK

Chilly air will surge southward across United Kingdom on Tuesday and bring a cool spell that will last into the weekend.
Temperatures will fall a couple of degrees below normal for early November.
The high in Manchester will climb to only around 10 C (50 F) on Tuesday. Similar temperatures are expected in London and the rest of southern England by Wednesday.

This cooler air will also bring an end to the widespread fog that hampered travel across much of the U.K. early in the week.
While a spotty morning shower cannot be ruled out across the Midlands on Tuesday, largely rain-free weather will prevail elsewhere across England through the middle of the week.
However, a storm will dive southward from Iceland late this week unleashing wind, rain and high-elevation snow throughout the U.K.
Rain will spread over Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England on Thursday before reaching the Midlands and southern U.K. on Thursday night.
Showers will be scattered across the entire U.K. on Friday as the storm spins overhead.

While the storm will slowly move to the east this weekend, cold winds and blustery showers will persist.
The air will be cold enough to produce wintry showers across the higher terrain of northern England and Scotland as early as Thursday night.
The combination of gusty winds, showers and thick clouds will make it feel more like December than early November across much of the U.K. this weekend.
Depending on the strength of the storm at this time, wind gusts over 40 mph (65 km/h) are possible across southern and eastern England.
Another shot of chilly air following this storm will keep temperatures below normal into early next week.
Despite a chilly start to November, cold outbreaks are expected to be limited this winter while frequent windstorms threaten the United Kingdom.
