"There could be some glimmers of sunshine first thing across southern counties of England, but much of England and Wales will be cloudy and dull and grey and damp," Mr Dewhurst said.
Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said much of England and Wales will have a chilly start of around 2C to 3C on Sunday but overall the day will be "a touch less cold" at about 6C to 7C.
Mr Dewhurst said: "A lot of cloud around, generally an easterly breeze keeping most weather fronts at bay - so staying largely dry - but the clouds thick enough in places for some patchy light rain at times, maybe a little bit of sleet over higher ground.
Eventually though it is thought that low pressure will push frontal bands of rain across much of the UK by the end of the week, with wind and rain becoming the dominant feature of the weather.".
The Met Office's long-range forecast from February 13 to February 22 reads: "An easterly or south-easterly wind is likely, with cold and cloudy weather continuing at first.
