00:00Thanks for joining me for your latest update from the Met Office. If you're

00:07milder over the next few days but it's going to take some time and Friday night,

00:11Saturday morning may well be the nadir of this current cold spell. A hard frost

00:16forming in most locations but we're starting to see a change. Clouding over

00:21for Northern Ireland, outbreaks of rain and drizzle with some hill snow

00:24trickling in here. Staying fairly cloudy over Pembrokeshire, Devon, Cornwall and

00:28the Isles of Scilly. Elsewhere though generally clear skies. Fog is going to

00:32thicken up and that could be quite dense for Saturday. It may linger over parts of

00:37the Welsh Marches, North West England, the Midlands and Eastern England too. For

00:42many though we'll keep the clear skies, light winds and that will mean those

00:45tumbling temperatures down to minus three, minus four. That's even in towns

00:49and cities, maybe lower in the urban parts across Scotland. Rural spots across

00:54Scotland, Northern England where there's snow lying on the ground could get to

00:57minus teens, maybe minus 15, minus 16 in one or two locations. But further west we

01:03may well start at the weekend above freezing. That milder air because of the

01:09thicker clouds will also make for a damp start for Northern Ireland. Rain and

01:13drizzle slowly clearing here and edging into Western Scotland. Again mostly rain

01:17and drizzle, some snow possible over the hills. A little bit of that wet weather

01:20trickling across the Isle of Man, up towards Cumbria and North Wales through

01:25the afternoon. Generally dry in the far southwest but staying quite cloudy here,

01:29brightening up in Northern Ireland. Sunnier skies over Eastern England,

01:33North East Scotland. But don't forget parts of the Midlands, Eastern England

01:36there will be that patchy fog that could linger all day and if it does temperatures

01:41will well probably stay below freezing. In the sunnier skies we could get up to

01:46two or three just like it has been on recent days, so well below average for

01:49the time of year. Notice further west though temperatures are ticking up,

01:53something that will continue as we go through Saturday night and Sunday. As

01:56this cloud continues to edge in, the rain, drizzle, hill snow tending to fizzle out.

02:01Again some fog is likely to reform or just thicken up again on Saturday night

02:06and Sunday morning across parts of the east. But many places will be dry. There

02:10is a weather front approaching however bringing more of a change as we go

02:14through the second half of the weekend. Still pretty chilly, still again a

02:18widespread frost over central and eastern England but more areas further

02:21west likely to stay above freezing into Sunday morning. Sunday is a bit of a

02:27mishmash, again most places dry. There will be some fog around which may take a

02:30while to clear. There'll be that weather front I talked about earlier bringing

02:33rain across the northwest of Scotland, some of that trickling into the north of

02:37Northern Ireland and eventually getting into the Northern Isles also. Still

02:41mostly light and patchy at this stage but notice the winds are starting to

02:45strengthen. For a good chunk of England and Wales it'll be dry, quite a bit of

02:48cloud around but we should see some spells of sunshine over the Midlands.

02:51Brighter day for South Wales and southwest England compared to Friday

02:55and Saturday and it is slowly turning warmer. You can tell that just by the

03:00way the winds are coming up from the south so eventually bringing milder air.

03:03But it'll still I suspect feel pretty cold over these eastern areas, five, six

03:08degrees at best. Further west we're looking at eight, nine, maybe by the end

03:12of the day double digits in one or two locations. So yes the milder air is on

03:16the way but it's going to take its time before it reaches central and eastern

03:20England. Should turn milder here as we head into next week. More details on all

03:25of that of course across our social media channels as I said at the start.
