00:00The cold and wintry feel to things is going to continue as we go through the next few days.

00:05If anything, temperatures are going to drop even lower.

00:08Currently, we have Arctic air coming down from the north,

00:11and this is going to push across more parts of the country as we go through today,

00:15through Wednesday and Thursday, which is why that really cold feel to things is going to continue.

00:21We do actually have an area of low pressure across the country.

00:24It's not particularly deep, but there is an area of low pressure nonetheless,

00:27and it's this that's driving some outbreaks of showery rain, sleet and hill snow

00:33across currently northern parts of England, but it is all feeding its way further southward.

00:37So outbreaks of rain across parts of the Midlands, across parts of Wales, East Anglia,

00:42and maybe southwest England as well as we go through the day.

00:46Towards the far southeast of England, actually staying largely dry,

00:49and elsewhere there will be some sunny spells mixed in with the cloud and outbreaks of rain.

00:54Across Northern Ireland, it's looking fairly showery,

00:56and then across parts of Scotland, well, it's quite cloudy,

00:59but there will be these outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow.

01:03Now, across parts of Scotland, the snow could start to settle to some lower levels,

01:07mainly over the grass, but perhaps some roads could see a few centimetres building up.

01:12Over higher ground of Scotland and perhaps northern England,

01:14we're likely to see a bit of snow as well.

01:17Temperature-wise, well, they are on the low side across northern parts.

01:21It's going to be a very chilly-feeling day for sure.

01:25Temperatures struggling to get much above freezing in some places.

01:27Further south and west, nearer normal for the time of year,

01:31but these temperatures are markedly lower than we've had through much of this month.

01:36Later on, as we go through the end of the day,

01:38more outbreaks of rain, sleet and hill snow pushing their way southwards,

01:42the spell of something perhaps more persistent, pushing into parts of northern England.

01:46But it all is clearing away towards the south.

01:48That being said, as we go through towards dawn tomorrow morning,

01:51it is going to be quite cloudy with some outbreaks of rain

01:54across central southern parts of England and Wales.

01:57Clearer skies developing across some central southern parts of Scotland in particular,

02:02and it's under these clear skies where we're going to see temperatures taking quite a drop,

02:05could drop into negative double figures perhaps.

02:08Nonetheless, it is going to be widely quite frosty and some icy patches to watch out for

02:14as we go through the night because we have these showers coming down from the north,

02:17particularly around some northern but also western and eastern coastal parts,

02:21and these will be a mixture of rain, sleet and snow.

02:24So some difficult conditions through tomorrow morning.

02:27And then through the day itself, yes, a bit of wet, perhaps wintry weather across some southern parts,

02:32any snow likely to be confined just to the highest ground.

02:35But that clears away, and then we end up with this northerly flow across the country.

02:40So that means areas exposed to that northerly flow are at risk of seeing some showers,

02:44and those showers could have a wintry element to them.

02:47So across northern parts of Scotland, readily seeing some sleet or snow.

02:51Down the eastern side as well, some wintryness quite likely.

02:54North York Moor isn't likely to see some snow totals building up as we go through Wednesday and into Thursday.

02:59But also down the western side, something called a Pembrokeshire dangler could lead to an array of showers

03:05across, well, parts of Pembrokeshire, and these could feed into parts of Cornwall as well

03:09and other parts of the southwest maybe.

03:11And so we could see a little bit of sleet and snow building up here as well.

03:14So worth watching out for that.

03:16Otherwise, in more inland areas, it's looking actually largely dry.

03:20Once that early spell of rain, sleet and hill snow clears away,

03:23and so it's actually a mostly fine but chilly day.

03:26Temperatures for many on Wednesday will be even lower than today,

03:29by a few degrees for some places, turning colder than average for this stage of the year.

03:35Now, as we go through later on this week, there is more cold weather to come.

03:39There's a continuing risk of some frost, some icy patches through a fair few nights,

03:44and more sleet and snow showers in similar places to where we were expecting them on Wednesday,

03:49to be honest, on Thursday.

03:50Then later, as we go through Friday, after a cold, frosty start,

03:53I am expecting some rain to push in, and so things are going to turn a bit wetter,

03:58but also temperatures rising just a little bit,

04:00so turning a bit milder as we go into the weekend.

04:03Aidan will have more information about all that in this week's Deep Dive.

04:05Check that out on our YouTube channel.

04:07Bye-bye.
