00:00Hello there, welcome to your Tuesday evening weather update from the Met
00:03Office. Now we do have a band of showery rain moving in over the next 24 hours
00:08coming in from the Atlantic. It's going to bring with it some sharp rain for a
00:13time, even some hill snow. This area of low pressure then tracks towards the
00:18North Sea into Wednesday afternoon, Thursday morning before this ridge moves
00:22in from the southwest, heralding a quieter end to February. Certainly
00:26Thursday and Friday we'll see some fine weather, albeit rather cold, with some
00:30frost by night and then this system moves in as we head through into
00:35Saturday morning across Scotland, bringing with it clouds and a weakening
00:39band of rain, hanging on to brighter and colder weather further south as well as
00:44east. Now through this evening and overnight showers continue across the
00:48north as well as the west, clearer skies elsewhere and expect a frost. But by
00:52around midnight into the early hours of tomorrow morning you can see this band
00:56of rain, some sharp rain there as it pushes towards Wales and the West
01:00Country and even some hill snow as it extends from Northern Ireland towards
01:05the far southwest of Scotland through into the first part of Wednesday morning.
01:10Temperatures were hanging on to some sub-zeros across Scotland, a cold start
01:14to the day and cold across central and eastern areas of England, further
01:18southwest seven or eight degrees Celsius. But first thing tomorrow morning you can
01:21see where this band of rain is, it curves from western Scotland, southern
01:25Scotland, down towards northern England, the Midlands, central southern England
01:29and some showers to follow. Some heavier pulses can't be ruled out, it's fairly
01:33narrow though and notice there will be some winterness particularly across the
01:37northern Pennines as well as the southern uplands, in its wake a lot of
01:41showers. So we watch as the progress of that rain continues to edge eastwards,
01:46many areas seeing some wet weather into lunchtime but notice across northern
01:50areas of Scotland you hang on to some drier weather with some a brighter
01:54conditions if not some sunshine, a few showers for Shetland and then later on
01:59this rain will pivot and just clip Aberdeen shit, certainly for the central
02:04belt of Scotland as well and then the showers move in behind across Northern
02:08Ireland through the afternoon as well as Wales, the West Country and Northern
02:12England. So some wet weather to come through the afternoon as the rain
02:15eventually clears towards the east there. But those showers could be heavy and
02:21perhaps even thundery in nature towards the west with a keen breeze and
02:26temperatures struggling wherever you are, coming in around 6 to 10 degrees
02:29Celsius and strong winds across more western and southern areas, the east side
02:34as we head through Wednesday evening as well. Now through Wednesday evening and
02:38overnight there will be a frost particularly towards more northern areas
02:41as we see showery bursts just clip the eastern side of England into Thursday
02:46morning but notice on Thursday brighter skies for some, a few showers towards
02:50the north as well as the west but yes the winds will eventually ease as that
02:55ridge really makes itself known across the UK into Friday. Still one or two
03:00showers just grazing that east coast on Friday, most places though will be dry
03:04and watch out for some freezing fog into the early hours of Saturday morning
03:08across England and Wales as this weakening front moves in and pushes down
03:12introducing more clouds to Scotland and Northern Ireland. But before that though
03:16here's your outlook through Friday. It's fine and mostly dry with some lovely
03:20sunshine, temperatures up a notch as well after a frosty start, 9 or 10 degrees
03:24Celsius. See you later.
