00:00Hello there and a very good morning to you on this bitterly cold Wednesday

00:05morning. Warnings remain in force through this morning for snow and ice, northern

00:09Scotland where we continue to see a rash of snow showers moving inland, further

00:14accumulations likely. This feature here brings rain sleet and snow towards the

00:18southeast of Scotland running down the east coast, a relentless wind and further

00:22wintry showers turning to snow inland across Northern Ireland and then slowly

00:26gliding down towards Irish sea coast as well as Wales. A few showers also down

00:31towards the West Country, they're mainly of rain. Now it's cold inland but some

00:36crystal-clear sunshine, it's a bright day but wrap-up warm if you are out and

00:41about. And then through the day we continue to see a rash of these showers

00:46towards the north, a cold wind coming in from a northerly direction, the Arctic

00:51air continues to affect us and those snow showers tend to become more

00:54scattered across Northern Ireland as we head through the latter part of the day.

00:58At the same time temperatures struggling wherever you are and across the snow

01:02fields of Scotland barely getting above freezing, remaining below across many

01:06places. So as we head through Wednesday evening and overnight the cloud will

01:10slowly thicken from the southwest. Now this feature here is mostly rain, a

01:14stronger wind but as it encounters the cold air there could be some sleet and

01:18snow on its northern edge. At the same time a severe frost across many areas

01:23and the winds turn around to more of a northwesterly through Thursday so more

01:27snow showers towards the western side of Scotland, rain and sleet along the

01:31coastline there. In between some sunshine coming through although any sunshine

01:35hazy across the Midlands as well as Wales. Here's your outlook through Friday.

01:38After a very frosty start, temperatures yet again well below freezing, we'll see

01:44some lovely sunshine but also some wintry showers in the mix towards the

01:48west. And those lighter winds will be replaced by stronger winds, gales as this

01:54deep area of low pressure moves in. It's rain but on its northern edge there could

01:57be some snow so there's likely to be some disruptive weather as we head

02:01through the weekend. Obviously we'll keep you posted here on all our social media

02:05channels. However if you are heading out on Saturday afternoon this is your

02:10outlook. Heavy rain, strong winds, temperatures recovering in the south but

02:14still cold in the north. I'll see you later.
