00:00Hello there and a good evening to you. After a cold week of weather there is

00:05signs of a change in fortune during the next few days. The cold air has still

00:10been in play today underneath this area of high pressure but increasingly we're

00:13going to see a shift to this much milder stream of air moving in from the

00:18southwest. It's mainly going to push into northwestern areas of the UK, Scotland

00:22and Northern Ireland but all of us will eventually see that shift to something a

00:26touch milder. If we take a look at temperatures compared to average for the

00:30time of year you can see that Saturday's values have been notably below where

00:35we'd expect them to be for January. But fast forward to Monday and there will be

00:39a rebound right across the country but particularly in Scotland and Northern

00:44Ireland. Quite a dramatic increase in temperatures and now well above average

00:49for the time of year. For now though the cold air is still in play and it is

00:54going to be a chilly evening for eastern Scotland and eastern England. There'll be

00:58some freezing fog patches around through the Vale of York down towards East

01:01Anglia, quite dense in places. Also some widespread fog possible through Northern

01:05Ireland kick off Sunday morning. Some patches of drizzle possible underneath

01:09this cloud in more central areas might cause some icy stretches where it's

01:13falling on frozen surfaces because certainly underneath the clearest of

01:16the skies we are going to see a frost once again across that eastern half.

01:20Towards the west though you can see where that milder air is just

01:23beginning to creep its way in allowing those temperatures to hold up on the

01:27positive side of the temperature scale. Do bear in mind that the fog will take a

01:32little bit of time throughout Sunday morning to clear so there could be some

01:35localized travel issues where it is quite misty and murky during the day.

01:39Eventually it will clear probably quickest in the northwest where we see

01:43the winds picking up in strength here and cloud pushing in. Some outbreaks of

01:47rain for Northern Ireland through the Outer Hebrides and into the Highlands

01:50also. Generally a calmer day for England and Wales there will be some sunshine

01:53around to enjoy once the fog eventually clears its way off but temperatures

01:57still struggling a touch here 3-4 degrees Celsius as the top temperatures

02:02here closer towards 8 or 9 further towards the west. Into Monday low

02:08pressure in the northwest and high pressure in the southeast are going to

02:11push towards each other and really provide quite a squeeze in the ice of

02:15ours during the day. So it is going to be a much noticeably blustery day

02:19particularly for Northern Ireland and Scotland will have gales around at times

02:22as these pulses of rain swing their way through heavy at times. England and Wales

02:27should stay mostly dry but the cloud will be building so sunshine will be

02:31much hazier on Monday compared to what we will see on Sunday. Temperatures

02:36though in that southwesterly wind are going to be ticking their way up so

02:40England and Wales rebounding towards average for the time of year 6-7

02:44degrees Celsius but just see how high those temperatures are climbing now for

02:48Scotland and Northern Ireland into double digits 12-13 degrees Celsius. It

02:53is worth noting though with this quite dramatic increase in temperatures we are

02:56going to see a very rapid fall of the snow that's been falling over the last

03:01week so there might be some localized issues where we see some surface water

03:05developing on roads as that snow does begin to melt so it is worth taking care

03:09over the next few days as that does occur. We'll have plenty more updates of

03:13what you can expect during the forthcoming week so subscribe to the

03:16YouTube channel for all of those and we'll see you again here very soon bye

03:20bye
