00:00Hello, there. Welcome to your latest MetOvis forecast. It remains very unsettled through
00:06tonight into Sunday across the U.K. as low pressure dominates this area, bumping into
00:11cold air, which is in place across the U.K., turning to snow, particularly across parts
00:15of Wales, Northern England, and then pulls away and allows colder air to sink back south
00:19again with wintry showers as we head into Monday. So, an unsettled picture as we head
00:25through a Saturday evening. MetOvis warnings out for much of the country. Snow and ice
00:30across parts of Wales, the Midlands, East Anglia, up into Northern England, particularly
00:33Northern England could be disruptive as we head through this evening and overnight. Expect
00:38some travel disruption as well as the risk of power outages as well, especially as we
00:43head into Sunday morning. Amber warnings in force here. Up to 40 centimetres of snow possible
00:49across some higher ground. Even to lower levels, we could see 5 to 10 centimetres locally,
00:54a bit more, but there will be some areas that will see rain and rain is the main feature
00:59as we head into the early hours across parts of Wales and southern parts of England. Any
01:04snow that fell during the day here will begin to melt as well. We could see the risk of
01:09some flooding. Wintry mix across Northern Ireland and southern Scotland, while as much
01:14as central northern parts of Scotland, cold and icy here. Some wintry showers in the far
01:19north, temperatures falling below freezing. Minus 6 to minus 8 across the glens of Scotland
01:24once more for many temperatures around freezing. Just something a little less cold across the
01:30far south and southwest. So, a very unsettled start to Sunday. Disruptive snow as I mentioned
01:36across southern Scotland, northern England in particular. This continues through the
01:40day. So, do stay tuned to the MetOvis warnings and forecast as the situation adapts and changes
01:47throughout. Further rain, which will be heavy across Wales, but a little drier across parts
01:52of the Midlands, central southern England with some showers here. Quite brisk winds
01:57developing. A mixture of rain, sleet and snow for parts of Northern Ireland initially, but
02:02trying to become a bit drier across the west and also that reflected across the Highlands
02:08as well with some sunny spells, wintry showers, but further snow across the Moray Firth down
02:13eastern and southern parts of Scotland as well. Icy stretches too. And temperatures
02:19are a large contrast across the UK. To the south of this weather front, temperatures
02:23reaching double figures, 12 to 13 Celsius. Under the snow and rain, 3 or 4 degrees at
02:29best. Most places though, struggling to get much above freezing and temperatures in the
02:33glens of Scotland remaining below freezing for much of the day. As we head into the evening
02:38time on Sunday, this weather system slowly starts to push its way eastwards. Further
02:43snow for a time across northern England, but then turning more showery as we head into
02:47the early hours. This rain band pushes into south-east England. The back edge over the
02:51higher ground, we could see some sleet and snow returning here. Elsewhere, clear spells
02:57developing, some wintry showers in that northerly flow, so expect further icy stretches and
03:02temperatures. Again, Townsend City is close to freezing and the countryside, Northern
03:07Ireland and Scotland below freezing. Some icy stretches to start Monday morning. A wet
03:12start across the south-east, a risk of some hill snow for a time before this system pulls
03:16away. Further wintry showers then pulling their way southwards through the day on Monday.
03:21Some sunny spells in between. Any mild air that held on across southern counties of England
03:27and Wales through the weekend then pulls away and it's a much colder feeling day here. Temperatures
03:325 to 8 degrees at best. Further north, 3 or 4 degrees in any bright or sunny spells. Again,
03:38a few places staying below freezing all day and that strong northerly breeze continuing.
03:44So it is worth staying up to date with the Met Office forecast through the rest of the
03:48weekend into the beginning of next week. Met Office warnings in place for many areas and
03:53they'll continually be updated as the situation changes. See you again soon.
