00:04for most and frost in the north. Some outbreaks of mostly light and patchy

00:09rain and showers across the north and the west of Scotland. Watch out for some

00:13fog patches across central parts of Scotland as well as Northern Ireland. A

00:16cold start here again with some frost. Showers are running down the Irish sea

00:21and this is the cold front which has brought cloud and also some outbreaks of

00:26mostly light rain and drizzle anywhere from Humber down towards the Severn

00:30Estuary southeastwards. This rain will just come and go through the day. A lot

00:34of low cloud to start the day here. It's chilly outside. Winds are fairly light

00:39through the morning and it's got a bit of a breeze coming down this western

00:43side. Elsewhere it's a calm start to the day. So there's no forcing on this

00:48weather front which is trying to clear down towards the southeast. As it does so

00:52though filaments of rain could just clip more central and eastern areas

00:56through the morning into the afternoon. At the same time once that fog lifts

01:00we'll see some sunshine across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Any low cloud

01:03breaking up. Still a scattering of showers through the afternoon but some

01:07sunshine emerging across Wales, the West Country, Northern England as well. Now

01:11here are your temperatures struggling wherever you are despite the light wind

01:15and some brighter skies towards the north. 5 to 7 degrees Celsius. Now

01:20through this evening and overnight that frost returns and becomes a bit more

01:24widespread across central and eastern areas of the country. Any rain across the

01:29far southeast will clear. The cloud will break up here as well so temperatures

01:33will be lower across England and Wales relative to last night. Now winds will be

01:39relatively light as we head through into the early hours of Thursday morning. Away

01:43from Northern Ireland where you'll see the wind strengthen as that cloud

01:46thickens and outbreaks of rain move in. Now this rain could turn heavy for a

01:51time as it pushes from Northern Ireland towards Western Scotland around rush

01:54hour. Wales as well as the West Country seeing that rain around mid-morning and

01:58then extends eastwards. Heavy at times snow over the Highlands and more of a

02:03breeze coming in as temperature struggles around 5 to 7 Celsius. Showers

02:07will follow with a bit of a blustery wind towards the west. So here's that

02:12weather front clearing towards the east and then this is the storm coming in.

02:16This is a storm Eowyn. Now winds across the central sway of the country Northern

02:20Ireland, southern central parts of Scotland, Wales, Northern England could
