Hello, very good day to you. You may have heard that there is some disruptive snow in
00:04
the forecast. Yes, we do have some of that to come as we go through tonight and into
00:08
tomorrow because there is cold Arctic air across many parts of the UK at the moment
00:14
and there's a weather system that's going to bash into that cold air, bringing some
00:18
disruptive snow. But worth bearing in mind, actually, at the moment, there's something
00:21
a bit milder towards the southwest with temperatures a little bit above average. But it's as this
00:26
frontal system pushes across into that cold air, we will see some hazards in the form
00:30
of wintryness that then clears away. And then as we go towards the middle part of the week,
00:34
much of the UK will be under that cold Arctic air. So a real chilly feel to things for many
00:39
of us temperatures well below average for the time of year. Back to the here and now,
00:44
though, and actually, as we go through this afternoon across many northern and eastern
00:47
parts, a good deal of dry, sunny weather to be had across the far north of Scotland, some
00:51
wintry showers, some sleet or snow showers pushing that way in towards the south and
00:55
west. A cloudier story and a wetter story. Most of the wet weather, though, will just
00:59
be rain for the time being, though some sleet or snow perhaps over the higher ground of
01:03
Northern Ireland as we go towards the end of the afternoon. A real contrast in temperatures
01:08
as we go through today towards the north and perhaps the northeast. Temperatures really
01:12
suppressed low single figures only just above just about getting above freezing for some
01:18
places here towards the southwest, though, like I said, it's fairly mild for the time
01:22
of year. Highs around 13 or 14 Celsius. So feeling pretty mild despite the fact that
01:28
there will be some cloudy wet weather around as we go through this evening and overnight.
01:32
And it's now that we start to see the disruptive snow developing across Northern Ireland, but
01:36
particularly northern England. We are likely to see some fairly significant snow. We could
01:41
see perhaps up to 20 centimetres above two to three hundred metres, even perhaps to some
01:46
lower levels. We could see a few centimetres of snow accumulating as we go through the
01:50
night. And so that is likely to cause some problems, particularly on the roads. If you're
01:54
heading out early through tomorrow morning. Also, some wintry showers continuing across
01:59
parts of northern Scotland. So further disruption likely here in between these two zones across
02:04
other parts of Scotland. We have some clear skies, harsh frost, quite likely temperatures
02:09
last night did drop to the lowest that we've seen so far this season. In fact, the lowest
02:13
since last winter. And it's possible it could be even colder tonight, perhaps minus eight,
02:18
maybe a little bit colder than that. It's a very harsh frost for some. Different story,
02:22
though, towards the south, much milder here. Some places perhaps staying in double figures
02:27
as we go through tomorrow, then a cold, wintry start for some of us. Milder, cloudier, wetter
02:33
towards the south. But a lot of that wet and wintry weather does actually then clear away
02:37
towards the east. And so things will turn dry and perhaps brighter for many of us. That
02:42
being said, still quite a few showers coming in across northern parts of Scotland. And
02:46
there will be some outbreaks of rain towards the southwest of the UK as well. But many
02:51
places, yes, turning dry and there will be some sunshine around. Despite that, though,
02:56
there is going to be a real chilly feel to things, although it may be a bit mild to start
03:01
in the south temperatures actually dropping as we go through the day. And so for many
03:05
temperatures are going to be several degrees below average for the time of year. And with
03:09
some brisk winds coming in from the north, worth bearing in mind that the feels like
03:13
temperatures are going to be several degrees lower for some places. It is going to feel
03:18
several degrees below freezing. So a real raw day. You'll definitely want to wrap up
03:23
if you are heading out for any long periods of time. Looking further ahead and the cold
03:28
theme continues. And with that and the flow coming from the north, some further wintry
03:32
showers are quite likely some further sleet or snow in places exposed to that northerly
03:36
wind. There is also the potential of some more organised rain sleet and snow to push
03:41
through, possibly affecting parts of the southwest as we go through later Thursday and into Friday.
03:46
And then by the time we get to the weekend, watch out as we could have a deep area of
03:50
low pressure, which could bring some very unsettled weather for a time. But if you want
03:55
more information about what we can expect through the rest of this week, do look out
03:59
for our week ahead forecast with Alex Deacon, which will be available on both our YouTube
04:03
channel and also our app later on this afternoon. I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
