00:00Thanks for joining me for your afternoon weather update from the Met Office.

00:03The Met Office weather warnings continue, the wintry weather continues and there

00:07are also Environment Agency flood warnings in place as well. Check out the

00:11website for more details on all of that. Here's the view from space. First thing

00:16this morning, big swirl of cloud. That's the low pressure that brought the snow

00:19over the weekend. Down to the southwest there's a bank of cloud. That is going to

00:24mix things up as we go into tomorrow. But in between the two, these lumpy

00:28looking clouds, well they're the showers. The wintry showers that have produced

00:32more snow over Greater Manchester. Snow flow is coming into Northern Ireland and

00:36across Northern Scotland as well. We have snow and ice warnings in place still

00:40across Northern and Western Scotland, Northern Ireland through the rest of

00:43today and tonight. Could be very slippery again as things freeze up once more. The

00:48showers feeding into Northwest England and North Wales. A mixture of sleet and

00:53snow here further south and east. Many places actually dry and fine this

00:57afternoon. Quite a bit of sunshine around. The winds are lighter in many

01:00areas as well but there is a bitter wind still blowing across Northeastern

01:04Scotland. Temperatures here two or three degrees. Add on that wind and it feels

01:09perishing. Elsewhere temperatures similar to yesterday's but as I said

01:12lighter winds. Doesn't feel quite so cold. Pretty quickly though those

01:16temperatures will be back down below freezing as we go through this evening.

01:20So again anything freezing up on the roads and the pavements making things

01:24really quite slippery. So we do have that ice and snow warning in place for

01:29tonight and into Wednesday. Could turn a bit foggy in some spots as well. Parts of

01:33Northern Ireland, Northwest England and across the Midlands. But for many areas

01:37it's just going to be a very clear night. The winds continuing to ease down which

01:41means temperatures will fall further. A colder night than last night. Negative

01:46double figures likely in rural parts of Northern England and certainly across

01:50parts of Scotland. These are the valleys and towns and cities. Minus 2, minus 3.

01:54Pretty widely. Notice however maybe not quite so cold in the far southwest. Clouds

02:00starting to edge in here. That weather system we saw earlier. That is going to

02:04mix things up as we go through tomorrow. Still a bit of uncertainty about how

02:08much wet weather we get coming up from the south. Southern counties of England

02:13will see some rain and snow likely. I say some uncertainty about how far north it

02:19gets. So how much snow we exactly see will really depend on subtle differences

02:24in the wind direction. The wind coming in from the sea, slightly milder conditions.

02:27Wind coming in from the land means longer time for things to cool down. So

02:32there could be some snow across southern counties of England during Wednesday.

02:36It's far from certain. However we do have that warning in place. Something we're

02:41keeping a very close eye on. For many other areas it's a dry fine day on

02:45Wednesday. Still a few wintry showers in Northern Scotland across the north of

02:48Northern Ireland as well. The showers continuing here and there. But elsewhere

02:52many places dry and fine with some lengthy spells of sunshine. But again

02:56it's going to be cold. We start minus 2, minus 3. We get up to plus 2, plus 3 in

03:01many locations. Could see some milder air trying to push into the far southwest

03:05later on. But the potential still for this snowy weather across southern

03:10counties of England through Wednesday evening's rush hour before it finally

03:14starts to skirt away. As I said still uncertainty about how much snow we see.

03:18Whether it be more of a rainy mixture. Elsewhere again things likely to freeze

03:22up through Wednesday night. So again potentially very icy. Do keep up to date
