00:00Good morning. If you think today's got off to a bit of a chilly start, well, tomorrow morning's likely to
00:05be even colder for many of us.
00:07More on that in a second.
00:09Through this morning, yes, it's crisp and there's some frost around, but actually, for many of us, it's dry, bright,
00:15lots of sunshine.
00:16Just areas exposed to the brisk northerly wind.
00:19Here we are going to see some showers across parts of Northern Ireland, eastern parts of England, and also across
00:24northern and central parts of Scotland.
00:25Some showers coming through, and these will continue as we go into the afternoon.
00:28Some of these showers, a bit of a wintry mix, so some rain, some sleet, some snow above a few
00:33hundred metres or so, and even a bit of hail mixed in as well.
00:37Elsewhere, and many other places, actually having a largely dry, bright day.
00:41Plenty of sunshine, but it is going to feel quite chilly.
00:45Temperatures down compared to the last few days, and down compared to average for the time of year.
00:50Generally, just about staying in single digits.
00:53It may just scrape into double digits in a few places, but on the whole, a chilly feel.
00:58And especially when you factor in that brisk northerly wind, if you're exposed to that, well, it's going to feel
01:03pretty cold indeed.
01:05The showers continue through the end of the day and overnight, continuing to pile down on that northerly wind.
01:10So, similar areas, northern Ireland, northern parts of Scotland, eastern parts of England, seeing some showers.
01:16Perhaps a few clipping into the far northwest of Wales, but generally across many other areas of England and Wales,
01:22it's looking like a largely dry night.
01:25But we have that cold air that's across us, and lots of clear skies.
01:29As a result, it's going to be even colder through this coming night than it was last night for many
01:34places.
01:35Temperatures even in some more built-up areas, dropping close to, if not below, freezing.
01:40And prone rural spots, well, we could get as low as maybe minus 7, minus 8 Celsius.
01:45Likely to be the coldest night of the season so far for many places.
01:49So, a fairly widespread frost first thing tomorrow morning.
01:52A bright start again, though, so crisp, bright, lots of blue sky on offer.
01:56The wind direction does change a little bit, and that changes where we're going to see the showers pushing in.
02:02So, we get a bit more of a westerly across those northern areas.
02:05So, northern and western parts of Scotland, seeing some showers coming through northwestern parts of Northern Ireland,
02:09and a few showers pushing into western parts of, well, the borders area, western parts of England and Wales,
02:15with a drier picture towards eastern parts compared to today.
02:19Plenty of sunshine, though, across central, eastern, southern parts of England in particular.
02:25But, again, temperatures on the low side, we have that cold air trapped under what is high pressure building across
02:31the UK.
02:31So, temperatures staying on the low side, so a chilly feel.
02:35Even though the winds are a bit lighter, so that will make it feel ever so slightly less raw, perhaps,
02:40than it has done recently.
02:42Looking further ahead, and that high pressure sticks around as we go through the end of Friday and into the
02:47weekend,
02:48eventually drifting away.
02:49But, what it means is most of us will have a largely fine day on Saturday, just a bit of
02:55rain towards the north and west, perhaps.
02:57And then, as we go through the weekend, there's the potential for the more changeable weather to push its way
03:02in.
03:02So, things are set to turn more unsettled, and there's more unsettled weather likely next week.
03:08Now, if you do take any interesting weather picks, maybe of the frost through the next couple of days,
03:13do send them in to us at weatherpicks at metoffice.gov.uk.
03:16We love to see them.
03:17We love to share them on places such as our Instagram channel or even on the Weather Studio Live tomorrow.
03:22Bye-bye.
