00:00Hello, there. Good morning. Welcome to your latest Meteorolist forecast. It's an unsettled

00:05start to the second half of the weekend, low pressure dominating and bumping into cold

00:10air. So, we've seen heavy snow overnight across central and northern parts of the U.K., in

00:14particular, icy stretches. This low-pressure system slowly moving away into the beginning

00:19of next week. But cold air remains in place with further wintry showers and icy stretches

00:24across the country. An unsettled start, outbreaks of heavy snow, particularly across northern

00:29England, some disruption likely. So, do take care if you are heading out. Some freezing

00:33rain still possible across parts of Wales as well and further north icy stretches to

00:40start the day. And little changes through the day. We see further outbreaks of rain,

00:44sleet and snow for parts of southern and eastern Scotland, northern England down into Wales

00:49as we head through the day. Something a little drier and brighter to the south of this weather

00:54front but breezy with some heavy showers moving in. Trying to turn a little brighter this

00:58afternoon as well across the far northwest of Norman Ireland into the Highlands with

01:03some wintry showers, icy stretches remaining here as well. And temperatures barely above

01:09freezing across the northern half of the U.K., really struggling particularly across northern

01:13England, southern Scotland under the heavy snow. But milder across central, southern

01:18parts of England and Wales. Here, southerly winds allowing temperatures to rise around

01:2213 or 14 Celsius. But the risk of flooding as snow melts and heavy rain continues to

01:28move in particularly across parts of Wales. And this band of rain pushes its way eastwards

01:32as we head through this evening into the early hours. Colder air digging south though. So,

01:36the back edge of this rain may start to turn to snow over the higher ground once more.

01:40Elsewhere, icy stretches reforming still the risk of wintry showers particularly across

01:45the north of the U.K. and temperatures low single figures below freezing in the countryside

01:51particularly across Scotland minus 5 or 6 to start Monday morning. Icy stretches, this

01:56weather system in the southeast just pulling away slowly through the morning into the afternoon.

02:00The risk of some snow for a short time over the higher ground and then a brighter day

02:05for many sunny spells and wintry showers. Showers most frequent and heaviest across

02:11the northern parts of Scotland. Some icy stretches remaining and then temperatures falling away

02:15quite quickly once more as we head into the evening time. Maximum temperatures generally

02:21for many 4 to 8 Celsius. So, feeling colder again across southern counties after a mild

02:26day ahead today. So, there is a lot still going on with our weather at the moment particularly

02:32with heavy snow across northern England. Do stay tuned as we move through the day with

02:37the latest updates. See you again soon.
