Weather forecasters expect conditions to remain unsettled this weekend, with cold temperatures, heavy rain, gales and even snow forecast across parts the UK. The latest weather charts pinpoint where exactly in the UK snow is likely to fall, with the worst of the wintry conditions expected overnight and early tomorrow morning. It comes after the UK was battered by powerful Atlantic systems this week, with wind speeds across some parts reaching over 70mph.
Charts assessing wind speed by WXCharts show the UK turn purple at 3pm this afternoon, as the UK braces for stormy conditions.
Weather maps by forecasters Magicseaweed, also show a terrifying weather system moving towards the UK around 6pm tonight.
The chart, which represents the scale of the swell, shows a mass of red and pink approaching the west of the UK.
The map suggests the huge swell could see waves reach a height of 40ft (12metres).
The chart shows the potentially damaging conditions hit the UK at midnight tonight and will have fully dispersed by 3pm on Friday.

A cold and frosty start as we push further south but here there will be some sunshine, fair amounts of cloud. At the moment in Bournemouth is -4C whereas in Edinburgh it s plus 7C. We re looking at some sunshine developing as this rain slips further south through the course of the day. A fair bit of sunshine in south Wales, and southwest England although temperatures range roughly 8 to 10 degrees. Through this evening and overnight, there s a weak front travelling a bit further east and we ve got the next one coming in from the Atlantic. In between, there ll be a fair bit of cloud, clear skies once again in southern areas. Means temperatures will fall away.
