00:00Hello there welcome to your Wednesday evening weather update from the Met

00:04Office. It's steadily turning colder through the next few days but for the

00:08next 24 hours at least high pressure centred across the UK bringing with it

00:13the promise of some sunshine through Thursday before the centre of the high

00:17extends towards Scandinavia and we inherit an easterly drift. Still breezy

00:22towards more northern and western areas of Scotland but this easterly wind

00:26coming across the North Sea will introduce more cloud through Friday as

00:30well as the weekend and even some wintryness as well in any showery burst

00:35more about that in a moment. For the time being the skies are clearing any showers

00:40across Western Scotland and the north fading away. Notice of frost particularly

00:45from the Midlands northwards Northern Ireland Southern Scotland Eastern

00:48Scotland as well. Lowest temperatures possibly around minus 3 minus 4 in the

00:53depths of Wales. Towns and cities coming in around minus 2 so yes a cold start to

00:58the day come Thursday morning. It's crisp for most breezy for some but bright for

01:04everyone it's a lovely start to the day with lots of sunshine. Notice the breeze

01:09is developing across the southeast and that could introduce a bit more cloud

01:12across East Anglia as well as the far southeast there and that wind continues

01:16across Western Scotland and Northern Ireland inland a lighter wind blue sky

01:20and sunshine a lovely day to be out and about as temperatures rise to around

01:257 degrees Celsius for Scotland possibly a 9 for Belfast 8 across mid Wales down

01:32towards London. So that's a picture tomorrow afternoon through the evening

01:37and overnight that frost returns it's going to be more widespread across

01:40Scotland as temperatures dip well below freezing particularly again across the

01:45countryside and extends towards northern England the far north of Wales and some

01:49frostiness to start the day also for Northern Ireland but notice this wind

01:53bringing with it more in the way of clouds and some showers down towards the

01:57southeast now these could actually turn wintry through the day a mix of rain

02:01sleet and snow so the air is cold the wind is cold as well and into Saturday

02:07this weather front here brings some showery bursts again with a wintry mix

02:12to it so yes it's going to feel cold and that wind will really add to that chill

02:18effect. Now on Saturday most places seeing more in the way of cloud notice
