00:00Hello, very good morning to you. Now, some of us have woken up to quite a wintry scene

00:05with some disruptive snow in places. Not all of us, though, in some parts. It's a mild

00:10start to the day. That's because we have some mild air across southern areas. It's further

00:14north where we have cold Arctic air and it's this weather system that march through, bringing

00:18some wet but also wintry weather to some parts. That then clears away towards the east as

00:22we go through today. And as it does so, it allows that cold Arctic air to plunge southwards

00:27across the whole country. So, it is going to turn very cold indeed, temperatures well

00:31below average for the time of year. And that's the theme through the rest of this week. There

00:35could be some systems coming through, potential some more organised disruptive snow at times,

00:40but I think generally it's going to be a case of wintry showers in areas exposed to that

00:44northerly wind. Just darting ahead towards the end of the week quickly and there is the

00:49potential for a deep air of low pressure to develop and push its way across the UK through

00:53this coming weekend. So, that's definitely one to watch. Back to the here and now though,

00:58and yes, some disruptive snow first thing, particularly across parts of northern England,

01:01but also some wintry showers overnight, leading to some icy patches for Scotland. A lot of

01:06the rain and the sleet and snow across England clears away towards the east through this

01:10morning and so then things are turning drier and also brighter, a good deal of sunshine

01:15for many places. But the wintry showers across parts of northern Scotland actually continue,

01:20so we could see accumulations building up a little bit and so some further disruption

01:24possible. Further towards the southwest, we do have some outbreaks of rain, could be a

01:28little bit on the heavy side, but they'll also be fairly hit or miss, so you may actually

01:32avoid them. Now, because that Arctic air that's plunged its way southwards by the time that

01:37we get to this afternoon, temperatures actually dropping a little bit as we go through the

01:41day. It is going to feel bitterly cold, many places only getting a little bit above freezing

01:46and when you factor in the wind chill, it's going to feel even colder than this. For some

01:51places it's going to feel several degrees below freezing, so a bitterly cold day, you'll

01:56definitely want to wrap up warm, despite the fact that there'll be some sunshine. Not a

02:01huge amount changes as we go through the end of today. In fact, we will have some clear

02:05skies across many parts of the country, but it's in areas exposed to that northerly wind

02:10where we're going to continue to see some wintry showers, most frequent across parts

02:14of northern Scotland, but even across parts of Northern Ireland, Wales, maybe south-west

02:18England, and down the eastern side of England as well. A few showers are quite likely and

02:23they could have a wintry element to them. But, like I said, with that cold Arctic air,

02:27it really is going to be cold, it's going to be another frosty night, could be even

02:33colder than last night, temperatures falling several degrees below freezing, a real harsh

02:37frost to add to the other wintry hazards, the ice, the snow, particularly across parts

02:42of Scotland. Across the south, it is going to be markedly colder first thing tomorrow

02:46morning than it was this morning because of that Arctic air that's pushed its way through.

02:51Otherwise, as we go through tomorrow, it is going to be, well, similar to today in many

02:56areas in as much as there'll be a lot of bright, fine, sunny weather, perhaps a little bit

02:59sunnier than today for many parts, but still continuing to see some showers coming in on

03:04that northerly wind, and so most frequent, again, across parts of northern Scotland,

03:09but a few showers in other places. Most areas, especially inland areas, avoiding these and

03:13just having a sunny day, a crisp winter's day almost, even though it is still autumn

03:19and still November. Temperatures suppressed well below average for the time of year. Some

03:23places, again, only getting a couple of degrees above freezing, so feeling chilly despite

03:28the fact that there will be a decent amount of sunshine around.

03:31Now, if you want more information about what's to come as we go through the rest of this

03:35week, then make sure you head to our YouTube channel. Aidan will be here with the deep

03:39dive later on. You'll not want to miss that. I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
