00:00Hello, very good day to you. In a slight change to the norm through much of this week it's
00:04actually going to be milder across northern parts of the UK and actually this morning
00:08it's been markedly milder than it has been through recent starts. In fact, if we compare
00:14just to 48 hours ago, Altona Harbour when it fell to minus 18.9 on Saturday morning
00:19was around 30 degrees almost milder this morning. So, it is a marked change to things particularly
00:26across northern parts. Further south we have high pressure largely in control. So, a bit
00:30more settled here but quite chilly. Meanwhile, these fronts across central and northern parts
00:36bring some outbreaks of rain and notice the isobars showing that we have some strong winds
00:40towards the northwest as well. Across the north-northwest we are going to see rain then
00:44because of those fronts. Rainfall totals don't look especially high. The highest totals over
00:49parts of western Scotland pushing into Cumbria as well could be looking at 10-15mm, perhaps
00:54a little bit more than that in some places. But when you add in the snowmelt, remember
00:58we have had some significant snow depths particularly across parts of Scotland. So, when you add
01:02that in to the rain there is a chance of some localised flooding particularly over some
01:06parts of western Scotland as we go through today. Further south across central-southern
01:11parts it is staying largely dry. Some bright weather, even some glimmers of sunshine breaking
01:15through the cloud at times. But like I said we have a north-south split when it comes
01:18to our temperatures but it's different to the norm with northern parts having the highest
01:23temperatures low to perhaps even mid-teens for some places, albeit cloudy, a bit wet
01:28and quite windy here. Meanwhile further south lower temperatures, mid-single figures for
01:32quite a few places. So a bit of a chilly feel despite the fact that it will be calmer and
01:36brighter. As we go through the evening we are going to see the fronts gradually pushing
01:40their way southwards but as they bash into the high pressure to the south-east of us
01:44they are going to ease and weaken somewhat. So yes there will be some rain around but
01:49really through the early hours of tomorrow morning it is just going to be some drizzly
01:53outbreaks of rain for some parts of northern England into central parts and into parts
01:57of Wales as well. Quite a bit of thick cloud though. Further north and across parts of
02:01Scotland and Northern Ireland turning drier and there will be some clear breaks. Also
02:05some clear skies to the far south and with that it is here that we are going to see the
02:10lowest temperatures overnight dipping to around perhaps even a little bit below freezing.
02:14And so particularly south of the M4 corridor I think this is where we are most likely to
02:18have some frost, even some fog, freezing fog patches quite likely first thing on Tuesday
02:23morning. A much milder start further north. As we go through the day on Tuesday then and
02:28well the best chance of seeing some sunshine will be across southern parts through the
02:31morning becoming mainly just the south-southwest as we go into the afternoon. Also some sunshine
02:37breaking through to the lee of high ground across northern parts. The winds coming in
02:41from the west-southwest and so it is eastern parts of Scotland, perhaps north-east England
02:45where we have a good chance of seeing some bright and sunny weather. Otherwise quite
02:49a bit of cloud and we will still have a weak front lying across central areas and so while
02:54there will be some drizzly rain around, nothing especially heavy, but yes some outbreaks of
02:58drizzle perhaps a little bit more than suggested on the graphics here. So a bit of a damp picture
03:03at times with this thick cloud that is going to be lying across central parts. Looking
03:08at our temperatures again and slightly higher across southern parts, greater chance of just
03:13about getting into double figures and perhaps slightly lower across northern areas so becoming
03:18less of a contrast as we go through Tuesday. Nonetheless temperatures in the north still
03:22a touch above average for the time of year. Now as we look further ahead through the rest
03:26of the week and it is going to stay milder across northern parts for the time being.
03:31Further south we could see temperatures dropping particularly as we go towards the weekend.
03:35We could see the return of sub-zero temperatures at some points. With that then there is the
03:39risk of some fog at times, also some frost, maybe even some freezing drizzle, one to
03:44watch out for on Saturday. But mainly it is going to be largely dry just towards the north
03:50northwest. The further you are from the high pressure there is a greater chance of seeing
03:54some wet and windy weather pushing through at times. For a more in-depth look at what
03:58the weather this week has in store for us, Aidan will be here with our week ahead forecast
04:03which will be available on both our YouTube channel and also our app. I'll see you again
04:06soon. Bye bye.
