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

00:03Office. Now through the next few days remaining cold overnight. Tonight we still

00:08have an easterly drift bringing more clouds across eastern counties.

00:11Eventually this easterly wind will veer around towards more of a southeasterly

00:17even so an undercut of cold air will continue before fronts come in from the

00:22southwest. For the time being you can see holes in the clouds, starry skies across

00:26western Scotland. A few fleeting drizzly showers moving in on that breeze from

00:31the North Sea. Elsewhere it's mostly dry although for Shetland you'll see some

00:36showers later on in the night. Temperatures then close to freezing if

00:39not below. It's a cold start to the day come Thursday morning biting in that

00:44breeze towards the east. There will be some sunshine around though particularly

00:48across the western side of Scotland. Some holes in the cloud towards the

00:51northwest of England, Wales down towards the West Country. Generally though the

00:55cloud will be thick. The odd spot or two drizzly rain can't be ruled out and some

01:00showers extend down towards Orkney as well as Caithness. The winds will be

01:03lighter through tomorrow although picking up towards the southwest where

01:07we'll see more cloud later on. Temperatures then coming in below

01:11average for this time of year four to seven degrees Celsius. So that's the

01:15picture through tomorrow afternoon. Through tomorrow evening and overnight

01:19yet again we'll see a frost where we see cloud breaks. Cloud and rain will move in

01:24across the West Country clipping the southwest of Wales and into Northern

01:28Ireland through Friday. On its leading edge there could be some snow

01:31particularly over the high ground. Even a little freezing rain it does tend to

01:34weaken and stall though but that's not the end of the story. Through the

01:38weekend further weather fronts will attempt to push in from the Atlantic. The

01:43winds will pick up a little bit but as that rain bumps into the cold air

01:46there's always a chance of some sleet and snow on its leading edge. Temporary

01:50for some and also the risk even of some freezing rain. So stay tuned to the

01:55forecast. Warnings could be issued associated with the weather through the

01:59weekend and yes still remaining cold particularly across central and eastern

02:03areas and there will be a lot of cloud around with rain towards more western

02:07areas. Wintry on its leading edge as I said. Take care I'll see you again soon.
