00:00Today's weather is brought to you by the color grey. Lots of grey skies, some thick
00:05cloud, even some murky conditions in a few places. The murkiest weather, if we
00:10look at the satellite and radar from earlier on, was in association with a
00:13cut-off small low-pressure system to the southeast of us. That brought some murky
00:18low cloud across parts of the southeast, even a bit of rain. Otherwise you can see
00:23a largely cloudy start for many of us and some outbreaks of drizzly rain, even
00:27a bit of sleet and hill snow. We still have high pressure to the northeast of
00:30us and that's still dragging in that easterly wind. As a result, it's across
00:34eastern areas where we have the thickest cloud and the greatest chance of some
00:38outbreaks of rain. The rain doesn't look particularly heavy but we could still
00:41see some sleet, even a bit of hill snow perhaps, particularly over the Pennines,
00:45the Grampians for example. There will be some brighter breaks towards the west,
00:49especially across western, northwestern parts of Scotland, but perhaps not as
00:53many breaks, not as sunny as it was yesterday here. Now because of the cloud,
00:58it is going to be feeling pretty cold. We have cold air across us as well and
01:02that blanket of cloud means it's going to feel chilly, especially in places
01:06exposed to that easterly wind. So down the eastern coast of the UK and even across
01:10northern areas, the wind's going to be pretty brisk. Further south, the wind a
01:14little bit lighter than yesterday, so maybe feeling a little bit less chilly
01:18but nonetheless these temperatures are a bit disappointing for the time of year.
01:23Lots of clouds sticking with us as we go through the evening overnight, still
01:27dampest towards eastern parts and still a little bit of wintryness perhaps over
01:31some higher ground. There will be some wet weather pushing into parts of the
01:34Republic of Ireland and this may just about clip parts of Cornwall, but most
01:38places staying largely dry apart from any outbreaks of rain coming in from the
01:42east. Like I said, staying pretty cloudy though there will be some clearer breaks
01:46across western parts and where we see these clearer breaks, we are going to see
01:50temperatures dipping a bit below freezing, so a touch of frost, even some
01:53patches of fog or freezing fog possible here, but most places under that cloud
01:58temperatures not dropping a huge amount from the daytime highs, so not especially
02:02warm by any means, but not particularly cold either. As we go through tomorrow
02:06then, a cloudy start, any mist and fog patches towards the west will be
02:11relatively slow to clear, but eventually they should. I think there will be a bit
02:15more sunshine on offer for some of us tomorrow, particularly across western
02:18parts, some southern areas too, but in the east that clouds going to be pretty
02:22stubborn, so staying grey and cloudy here. Even a few more outbreaks of rain quite
02:27likely as well. Temperatures though may be up a degree or two for some of us,
02:31perhaps getting into double figures towards the far southwest, the Isles of
02:35Scilly perhaps, but most places still a little bit below average for the time of
02:39year and again if you're stuck under that cloud it is going to feel chilly.
02:43Now as we look further ahead through the rest of the week and beyond and we are
02:47eventually going to see a change. It's going to stay pretty cloudy and cold
02:51for a little while yet, but we will start to see some fronts coming in from the
02:54southwest. A little bit of uncertainty as to how quickly they are going to push
02:58through, but if they do and make their way in and hit the cold air across us
03:02then that could bring some snow, but at the moment nothing looks particularly
03:06disruptive. For more information about that make sure you check out the deep
03:10dive with Anna which will be available on our YouTube channel later on this
03:13afternoon and she'll also be looking at how the models have been flip-flopping
03:17with any signs for even more cold weather. I'll see you again soon, bye bye.
