00:00Hello there, welcome to your Tuesday evening weather update from the Met Office.
00:04It's turning colder over the next 24 hours with the risk of
00:08some snow showers and also ice. This weather front here brought some
00:13heavy pulses of rain but it is clearing. Notice the air behind
00:16is much colder. The source of the air coming in are from the north
00:20so there will be a significant wind chill through Wednesday
00:23and with that delivering those showers which will have a wintry mix to them.
00:27Wednesday night even colder than tonight before a ridge extends across on
00:34Thursday some hazy sunshine after a very cold start even again with some icy
00:39patches and then all change through Thursday and into Friday. For the time
00:44being you can see where the heaviest pulses of rain are northern and central
00:48England, Wales and we'll see some rain further south as well. The winds are
00:53strong associated with this weather front it is all pushing its way southeastwards.
00:57The air is colder behind and already we're seeing those showers move in across
01:02Scotland and Northern Ireland with a gusty wind. So through this evening you may
01:07run into some heavier rain for a time, some tricky driving conditions if you are
01:12out and about and certainly that wind will make it feel cold. Through the night
01:16though those showers start gathering across Scotland and Northern Ireland
01:19turning to snow particularly above around 300 metres and even further south
01:23notice there is some winteriness over the hills and mountains of Wales and also you
01:29may catch one or two across Pennine districts. Some clearer skies as well into the
01:34early hours of Wednesday morning allowing temperatures to dip very quickly so it's
01:39going to be a cold end to the night certainly with a frost towards the north
01:44temperatures three to five further south and west but notice this wind which will
01:48howl down from the north west and certainly turn gusty over the hills and
01:53mountains. So a chilly start to Wednesday morning and there will be showers in the
01:59mix as well. These will be a mix of rain and snow even at lower levels across
02:04Scotland, snow over higher ground, wintry even extending down across Northern
02:09Ireland towards the northwest of England, northern parts of Wales. Through the day
02:15though they will become scattered and there will be an increasing chance of some brighter
02:20weather coming through if not some sunshine. But the wind will be one of the key features
02:25of the weather through the afternoon and that will mean a significant wind chill and notice
02:29the orientation of the wind allowing these showers to filter in from Northern Ireland
02:34clip western parts of Scotland down towards Liverpool Bay as well as the Midlands
02:38some clipping the eastern side of England as well and we will see those showers continuing
02:43across the northeast. Again there will be wintry in places with the air being so cold.
02:49Here are your temperatures through the afternoon six to nine degrees Celsius. Add on the strength
02:54of the wind and the direction of the wind it's going to feel a lot colder than that. At least
02:59though a little brightness in between those heavy and blustery showers. So that's a picture
03:04through Wednesday afternoon. Through Wednesday evening those showers will continue with that
03:09strong wind and temperatures will be lower than the coming night. So we will see a fairly widespread
03:16frost certainly across more northern areas and further south in rural spots as well as those
03:22snow showers continue to clip the north and northeast and some running down the western side. Here are your
03:27temperatures. Yes sub-zero across many areas three or four further south and west but even in the countryside
03:34you could see temperatures just dipping below freezing. And that leads into a cold and fine start
03:40to Thursday. There is a risk of some ice around where you see those showers and certainly showers still
03:48filing in across northern Ireland towards the northwest of England and also northern and eastern areas of
03:54Scotland. A wintry mix here. But Thursday's not looking like a bad day really if you can shelter from the
03:59breeze
04:00which will ease through the afternoon. But the sunshine will turn rather hazy through the afternoon as the
04:05cloud files in from the west. And notice we'll see some showery rain arrive around lunchtime for
04:10Northern Ireland and western Scotland. At the same time this area of showery rain here their scattered
04:16showers will clear. So some drier weather to end the day. And all in all temperatures will gradually recover as
04:22we head into the weekend. But it does remain unsettled. I'll see you again soon.
