NetWeather TV's Jo Farrow says: "Friday will start off sunny but cold behind the cold front with a scattering of showers. These will mostly be of rain but also include hail, perhaps thunder and a wintry mix over the Scottish mountains.
"They will reach northern England and Northern Ireland in the morning. The frontal cloud and rain could take its time to clear SE London and Kent on Friday. It will feel cold in the wind and after dark."
"This weekend, there will be areas of lingering cloud but also good spring sunshine. Saturday morning should start fine for many before a frontal system arrives from the Atlantic," she said.
"Cloud with patchy light rain will spread over Northern Ireland in the morning as a southerly wind picks up. Wet and windy weather will arrive for western and northern Scotland with a little snow for the Grampians as the winds freshen," Ms Farrow said.
She said: "On Saturday, there will be a partial solar eclipse. It’s not going to go dark but if you have eclipse glasses, it will be worth a peek. Don’t look directly at the sun, use a pinhole through paper or card to project an image onto the ground instead.
"Northwestern parts will see increasing cloud, further east, south and for central regions, there should be clearer skies."
