00:00Hello, good morning, happy Thursday. It's going to be a brighter, drier day for many

00:04of us than we've seen so far this week, but with that it's also going to be a fair bit

00:10chillier. That's because our air is now coming from the north, we're bringing arctic air

00:14down and as that pushes across the country we are going to see our temperatures dropping.

00:19I did say it is a brighter day and you may be thinking what are you talking about Alex

00:22if you're in the south because at the moment there is a fair bit of cloud, some outbreaks

00:26of rain, but all of that is going to clear away towards the south as we go through this

00:30morning with the brighter skies across the north spreading across much of the country

00:34and so yes, a largely fine day. Not totally dry, a few showers around for some inland

00:39areas, one or two perhaps, but not as many as we've seen through recent days. The most

00:43frequent showers will be in areas exposed to that northerly wind, so parts of Scotland,

00:47perhaps Northern Ireland, particularly to the north and also down the eastern side of

00:51the UK. I'm expecting a few showers to develop here. Like I said though, a chilly feel to

00:56things so even though there will be some sunshine around it is going to feel pretty chilly.

01:01Temperatures peaking only around 13 or 14 towards the south and a few degrees colder

01:05than this further north and all the time in the brisk northerly winds it's going to feel

01:10even chillier than these temperatures suggest. Later on through this evening most of the

01:15showers are actually going to die out and we'll have largely clear skies across the

01:18bulk of the country. Different story though across Scotland. Here, increasing amounts

01:23of cloud, outbreaks of showery rain feeding in from the west north west and some of these

01:27could be heavy, could even be wintry. Some sleet or snow possible particularly over higher

01:31ground. But elsewhere, where we get those clearer skies, temperatures are really going

01:36to drop as that cold air, that arctic air has plunged its way across the whole of the

01:40country. Especially in the south it's going to be quite a bit colder than it was last

01:44night. Even in some towns and cities we're looking at low single figures around freezing

01:48in some places. So a bit of frost is quite likely first thing tomorrow morning. Although

01:53it may be a bit milder perhaps than this morning across parts of Scotland where we have that

01:57cloud and those outbreaks of rain. And then through tomorrow itself, well actually for

02:02much of the country away from the far north across Scotland, I'll talk about that in a

02:06second, for much of the country it's actually going to be a pretty fine day. Yes, some showers

02:10feeding in across parts of Northern Ireland and maybe north west England, but many places

02:15avoiding these and lots of fine sunny weather, especially towards the south, south east.

02:20However, yes, across Scotland here it is going to be fairly cloudy. There will be some outbreaks

02:25of showery rain, maybe even a bit more sleet or snow over the higher ground and there could

02:29be some blustery winds around too. Here it is going to feel pretty cold, those temperatures

02:34even more suppressed under the cloud and so not feeling particularly pleasant at all.

02:40Albeit they may be on paper just a degree or so higher than today for some places, but

02:44yes, with less sunshine around, feeling chillier if anything. Towards the south, temperatures

02:49well they're going to be similar to today really, 13, 14 Celsius again, but with some

02:53sunshine not feeling too bad, maybe feeling a little bit nicer perhaps. As we go towards

02:58the weekend, we are going to stick with that north south split of sorts for a time with

03:02various frontal systems coming across northern parts bringing further outbreaks of rain.

03:08Further south staying drier and that dry weather should cling on until the end of the weekend

03:12before then a system comes in from the west and that's likely to bring some wet weather

03:16as we go into the beginning of next week. But if you're after more information about

03:20what we can expect through this weekend, then head to our YouTube channel and you'll be

03:24able to find our more in-depth forecast available there this afternoon. I'll see you again soon.

03:29Bye bye.
