00:00Hello there, good morning. Well, it's going to be a cold start ahead of a chilly day,

00:04but there's a good chance that we could see some more sunshine, particularly if you compare

00:08it as of recent days. But quite a damp start across Northern Ireland, southern parts of

00:12Wales and Cornwall. Also a chance we could see some snow across higher ground and towards

00:17some hills. And also a chance we could see some freezing rain, so do take care for any

00:21icy stretches. A fairly cold and frosty start elsewhere, but through the course of the day

00:26there will be plenty of dry weather, perhaps even some sunshine. That's away from the

00:29area of cloud and rain that's slowly shifting its way north-eastwards towards the country.

00:34So for Northern Ireland, southern parts of Wales and also parts of the south-west, it's

00:38likely to be quite a grey and dreary day with outbreaks of rain. Some moderate to heavy

00:43bursts as well also possible, and fairly blustery too around western coasts. But elsewhere,

00:48probably a more pleasant day compared to recent days, and a chance we could see some brighter

00:52spells. Now temperatures are still just below average for the time of year for many of us,

00:57so it is still going to be feeling fairly chilly, but something slightly milder just

01:01starting to creep in to the south-west. Now heading into the evening, once again we'll

01:06continue to see this area of cloud and rain slowly shift its way north-eastwards. This

01:10is where we're going to continue to see some outbreaks of patchy rain. Also a chance still

01:14that we could see some hill snow, particularly across Wales and then later on across western

01:18parts of Scotland. And still continued risk of some freezing rain possible too. So once

01:23again a chance we could see some ice by the time we reach Saturday morning. And similarly

01:28we'll see a mix of cloud and clear spells elsewhere, so another chilly night on offer

01:33and a chance of some frost by Saturday morning. Now for the beginning of the weekend itself,

01:39there's still going to be plenty of grey skies around I'm afraid. Quite drizzly across parts

01:43of Wales and south-west, later on into central and north-eastern parts of the UK. Even across

01:48Scotland we could see some drizzle at times, and still a chance of some hill snow. And

01:53once again as that milder air falls into the colder air, a chance we could see some

01:56freezing rain. So there is still the risk of some ice possible. Elsewhere it should

02:01be slightly drier, particularly across the south-east where there is a chance of seeing

02:05some brighter interludes. But once again a fairly chilly day on offer and it could be

02:09quite damp for some. Now what about the rest of the weekend? Well we still have this battle

02:15between low pressure out to the west and high pressure out to the east. And that means also

02:19a battle between milder and colder air. And as that milder air brings rain and falls into

02:24the colder air, once again we could see a chance of some hill snow. But for many, particularly

02:29across the north-east, it's still going to be rather cloudy and grey and often quite

02:33chilly. And across the south-west, largely milder but still a chance we could see some

02:38rain. For more details on this weekend's weather, you can catch Aidan. Otherwise, that's it

02:43from me. Bye bye.
