UK weather: Met Office forecasts dry and cloudy conditions<\/h3>\n

Britain is likely to witness the first sign of winter as snow and sleet makes way to the country this weekend, the Met Office has predicted.<\/p>\n

The Met Office stated that high-ground snow and some sleet is possible this weekend. In a forecast on Monday evening, it stated: \u201cAlthough there is some uncertainty at this stage, there is a chance of a cold spell of weather by the weekend with some sleet, and possibly snow over high ground\u201d<\/p>\n

Areas in Scotland will get a dusting as the weather maps show areas receiving 0.6cm to 1cm of snow per hour with temperatures dropping to as low as -7C in the first week of December.<\/p>\n

Inverness, Portree, and Fort William will witness snow depths of more than 1cm, the MetDesk analysis suggests, but there is limited evidence of exactly how much will lay.<\/p>\n

Sharing the weather patterns for the weekend, the Met Office stated there is a 70-percent chance of wintry conditions in and around Scotland.<\/p>\n

Cities such as Perth, Kinross, Stirling, Dumfries, and Galloway will see cold northerly winds. Falling snow and sleet over the hills is possible for these areas.<\/p>\n

While the northern parts will start feeling the chilly weather conditions, the southern parts of the area are likely to remain dry. With only a 20 percent chance, the areas will have low probability of prolonged rain.<\/p>\n

Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster Helen Caughey said: \u201cThere is a 70 per cent chance that areas as far south as southern England could experience overnight frosts and a general reduction in temperature. Any falling snow is likely to be confined to the far northeast, and hills and mountains of Scotland.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Caughey added that the cold snap \u201cisn\u2019t guaranteed, and those lower temperatures don\u2019t mean widespread snow\u201d<\/p>\n
