00:00Morning. A whiff of winter has returned to our weather. Certainly everywhere feeling colder compared to yesterday and for some
00:08a few snow flurries around. Might be a bit icy this morning too in western Scotland where we've got the
00:14showers coming in. The showers mostly of snow over the hills but some are getting down to lower levels and
00:19parts of northern Ireland. Sleet, hill snow, hail mixed in with the showers here. Same goes for northern England and
00:25later on also the possibility of some hail, sleet or even hill snow.
00:30The showers for Wales and southwest England. Across much of eastern England though it should by and large be a
00:35dry day. Can't completely rule out the odd shower but many places here seeing some sunny spells. A brighter day
00:40for much of northeast England with some sunshine and Wales too but there will be showers moving in here. It
00:47is still quite breezy but not as windy as yesterday but we're in the colder air so that breeze is
00:52really bringing something of a chill. Even in the sunshine temperatures below average 8, 9 degrees at the very best.
01:00Temperatures drop when the showers come along and when you add on that breeze even though it's not as strong
01:05as yesterday it feels at well single figures 2, 3 degrees. So yes a pretty chilly feel out there throughout
01:13this afternoon and quite quickly this evening the temperatures will fall away again which could lead to some more ice
01:18particularly where we've got the showers.
01:19The showers themselves still quite wintry over the Pennines for example. Northwest Scotland over the hills still some snow coming
01:26in at this stage but it will be I think confined to the highest of the routes by this evening
01:32time.
01:32As we go through the night the showers will tend to fade. The temperatures will tend to fall away quite
01:37sharply. A hint of blue on the chart suggesting there may well be a frost certainly in rural parts of
01:42northern England, southern Scotland and northern Ireland. Temperatures in towns and cities may just about hold up above freezing but
01:49it's going to be a cold cold night.
01:51Perhaps not feeling quite as cold though on Saturday because the winds won't be quite so strong. But it could
01:56also be icy as I mentioned wherever we've seen those showers and as those temperatures drop down.
02:01Now for Saturday it's still broadly a day of sunshine and showers but fewer showers and more sunshine. Certainly for
02:08England and Wales many places looking dry and bright. It's the odd morning shower still possible.
02:12There will still be some coming into Northern Ireland and certainly a showery day for Western Scotland. By this stage
02:18again the snow really confined to the higher ground. At low levels it'll be rain showers that we see but
02:24they'll be fed in on a fairly brisk wind.
02:27Elsewhere the winds are a lot lighter and so it will feel quite a bit warmer certainly by the afternoon.
02:33Temperatures though still only around or even a touch below average. Many places staying in single figures but perhaps 10
02:38or 11 Celsius across the south. So a little bit higher but the winds will be that much lighter on
02:44Saturday compared to today.
02:46So yeah fine day by and large on Saturday. There's more cloud and some outbreaks of rain coming in for
02:52Sunday which is Mothering Sunday of course.
02:55If you want more on that you'll want to watch our full weekend video that's available on our YouTube channel.
