00:00Hello, as this wintry week continues, it's really important to stay up to date with the

00:05forecast and the warnings. Best way to stay up to date, of course, is to hit subscribe

00:09if you're watching this on YouTube. Plenty going on, even though the low pressure that

00:13brought all the heavy snow over the weekend is now starting to clear away. But as it clears

00:18away, the colder air is tucking back in behind it. So after a brief milder spell on Sunday

00:23across the south, the colder air has now returned and certainly cold enough for the showers

00:29that are coming in on that northerly wind to still have some snow mixed in over northern

00:33Scotland through the night. Snow and ice continues to be a threat. And then we're looking at

00:37this little weather feature coming into Northern Ireland, pepping up the sleet and snow here

00:42through the evening. So again, tricky conditions on the roads that then spreads into Wales

00:47and southwest England. Don't be surprised if you wake up to further snow across parts

00:52of Wales and southwest England in the morning. Could be several centimetres in places, but

00:56it will be hit and miss. It is going to be more of a mixture of rain, sleet and snow

01:00with sleet and rain most likely close to coast. But any type of shower could turn things icy

01:06as temperatures once again fall widely below freezing well below through the glens of Scotland.

01:13We could get down to minus five, minus six, even lower across the southern uplands. But

01:18most towns and cities hovering closer to freezing, but still down to zero, minus one or minus

01:23two. So a frosty start to the morning, potentially still very icy in the west and across northern

01:29Scotland where more snow showers will come in through the day. The showers tending to

01:33ease a little bit elsewhere and certainly much of eastern and southern England's good

01:38chunk of central and southern Scotland. Dry, fine and sunny for most of Tuesday, but still

01:43feeling cold. The showers across Northern Ireland, north Wales, northwest England, they

01:47will be a wintry mix. That means hail, sleet and some snow is possible and continuing to

01:53see those wintry showers coming in across northern Scotland. Still windy here as well.

01:57Not quite as strong the winds on Tuesday compared to Monday. So perhaps maybe not feeling quite

02:03as cold, but still temperatures are going to struggle below average. Many places only

02:07three or four Celsius, maybe six or seven across parts of the south. The winds here

02:11there will be lighter than Monday's and that will be probably quite noticeable. During

02:16the course of the evening, still a few showers feeding into western areas and across northern

02:19Scotland. So again, as temperatures tumble and they will tumble pretty widely down well

02:25below freezing, it could well turn icy for Wednesday morning. Wednesday, though, dry

02:30and sunny for most areas. But down to the southwest, we are keeping our eyes on this

02:34weather system. This is going to bring some milder air, but a bit like that system did

02:39at the weekend, it's also going to bring some moisture on this warm front. Some uncertainty

02:44about the exact track and that's giving us a few headaches because where this wet weather

02:49hits the colder air, it is likely to generate some snowfall. So this is something we're

02:54watching very closely for Wednesday. There is a Met Office yellow snow warning in place,

03:00but that doesn't mean that we're definitely going to see snow in this area. It is still

03:05something we're keeping an eye on because it all could be a little further north or

03:08it all could be a little further south. So it's not a guarantee of snow across this yellow

03:14area. It's just an area where we have the potential for some disruption as this wet

03:18weather comes in. If it is a little further north, hitting that colder air, it could generate

03:23some quite significant snow across southern counties of England on Wednesday. As I said,

03:28it could be a bit further north. It could be a bit further south, in which case we wouldn't

03:31see much snow, if any, at all across the south. There will still be some wintry showers across

03:36northern Scotland, but many other areas on Wednesday having a fine but cold winter's

03:41day with temperatures starting below freezing and ending up just a little bit above. Temperatures

03:46in the south depends on, I say that weather front, just how far north it is. So do keep

03:51up to date with the weather forecast over the next few days. The wintry weather likely

03:55continue for most of this week. If you're watching this on YouTube, then do hit subscribe.
