Cloud will continue to increase and lower across western and central areas, with drizzle and hill fog likely on some western up slopes. Some clear spells and patchy fog in the far north and south with a local frost possible.
A mostly cloudy day for all with clearer conditions for eastern Scotland a some sunny spells in the southeast. Light rain and drizzle in western Scotland, otherwise remaining dry.
Gradually turning cloudier through the weekend with outbreaks of rain at times, especially in the south on Saturday. Turning colder and breezier with wintry showers from the north on Sunday.

Frequent wintry showers are expected, mainly in the north and along eastern and western coasts where exposed to the strong north to northwesterly flow. Snow is likely to fall to low levels, especially in the north. Many inland areas may be largely dry with lengthy sunny spells, especially where sheltered from the flow. However, there is a risk of some more organised areas of rain and hill snow running east across more southern parts. The chance of any widespread or disruptive snowfall affecting more populated areas at this stage remains low though. Cold everywhere with overnight frost, and the strong winds will result in significant wind chill. There is a hint that it may become less cold later in the period, with more of a westerly flow becoming established.

Signals vary in prevailing weather patterns through this period but likely mainly unsettled and rather cold for the start of the period. There is a chance of more mobile weather patterns which would see Atlantic systems periodically move across the country. These will bring some wetter and windier interludes with a risk of some snow, especially for hills of the north. A trend toward less mobile weather or more settled conditions is favoured into December, although some wetter and windier interludes remain likely at times. Temperatures also trending closer to average, especially in the south.
