Fylde coast weekend weather update including when to expect dry weather and sunny spells

Blackpool is set to see improving weather conditions over the coming days, with showers easing and sunny spells expected to develop as high pressure builds towards the end of the week.

This afternoon will bring areas of thick cloud and a few showers for a time, before conditions turn drier with some bright spells later in the day. It will remain breezy, although winds are expected to ease by the evening, with temperatures becoming slightly milder.

Any remaining showers are expected to die out tonight, with clear spells developing in some areas. However, thicker areas of cloud will move in from the west overnight, while a few patches of fog may also form.

Thursday morning will see areas of low cloud and fog, but these are expected to lift and clear during the afternoon, allowing sunshine to develop. Conditions should remain generally dry, although there is a chance of a light shower during the morning.

The outlook for Friday to Sunday suggests a dry end to the week and a settled weekend as high pressure develops. Friday is expected to bring sunny spells, with any early patches of low cloud likely to clear soon after the start of the day.

Saturday and Sunday should then remain settled, with further sunny spells expected. However, mornings may begin with patches of low cloud and fog, which could be slow to clear in some areas.

Overall, conditions are expected to become drier and brighter towards the weekend, although early cloud and fog may temporarily affect some locations.
