00:00Good morning. A sharp frost out there wherever you are and a further risk of snow to come

00:05through the rest of this weekend. It's particularly across northern areas of Scotland where we've

00:10seen the most snowfall and we will continue to through this weekend. That's where we've

00:14got an amber warning in force for the next few hours. Across eastern areas as well we

00:19could see some snow moving inland from the North Sea. Northern Ireland, parts of Wales,

00:24south western England also seeing some sleety showers too. So a risk of ice and snow accumulations

00:30across many coastal areas but particularly across the north where the winds will push those showers

00:35further inland throughout Saturday. Inland areas though another very dry and fine day. Plenty of

00:42sunshine out there albeit it will be a very chilly day once again. Temperatures one or two degrees at

00:47best in many northern areas. A little bit milder than that when you're closer to the coast as the

00:53sea is a bit warmer this time of year than the land. Through this evening the showers will continue

00:58for many coastal areas particularly across northern areas of Scotland. The winds are turning a little

01:03bit lighter so they won't push as far inland and actually across many eastern areas of England,

01:08southeastern Scotland it will become drier after potentially a bit of an overcast snowy day

01:13across these eastern areas. So clearer skies developing more widely. Another very cold night

01:19to come tonight. A sharp frost. Temperatures widely down into those minus single figures. Could be down

01:25as low as around minus six or seven across parts of Scotland where we've got any lying snow. With the

01:31strength of the winds we should stay clear of the coldest temperatures but it's going to be

01:35a very chilly feel to start the day on Sunday. There will be lots of sunshine around though on Sunday

01:41particularly across the bulk of England as well as parts of southern Scotland. Across northern Ireland,

01:47parts of Wales, northwestern Scotland will continue to see quite frequent showers moving in. These are

01:52a mix of rain, sleet and snow. Snow most likely over the highest ground where we could start to see

01:58some accumulations but it will stay cold and any lying snow is unlikely to melt throughout this weekend.

02:06Across eastern areas a fairly dry day though. Temperatures still struggling at just one or two

02:11degrees so that chilly feel does remain but the winds will be a little bit lighter across eastern areas

02:15on Sunday compared to Saturday. So plenty of cold weather to come throughout this weekend. A continued

02:22risk of snow does remain cold into Monday as well. We continue to see this northerly wind bringing

02:28arctic air. Then by Tuesday some Atlantic weather could bump into that cold weather to give a renewed

02:34risk of snow to more southern areas. So please stay tuned to the forecast through this weekend
