Talking a lot about uncertainty, but the weather system that has

been causing us a headache, this rain out in the Atlantic, could

cause some of it a bit of a headache when you travel around on

Friday. For the time being, a week were the front in the West, a

contrast with the bleak weather front in the West, patchy rain, but

also sleet and snow across Wales and the south-west. High pressure

and thence winds, freezing fog is again an issue and temperatures

widely below freezing, minus ten through the night. Way you have

seen showers, through some eastern areas from ice will be an issue.

Like this morning, brighter conditions. Further west, a bit

more cloud, for Northern Ireland, plenty of cloud and a south-

easterly wind that will strengthen through the day, producing light

rain, but much of northern and central eastern England, dry and

bright weather, fair amount of cloud, but those patches of fog

once again could take a while to shift, if they do at all. Wales and

south-west England, fairly cloudy, that light rain and drizzle with

sleet and snow over high ground will continue. Nothing hugely

significant and dead be surprised if you see one or two snow flurries

east of the cloud. Away from the fog patches, bright and sunny

weather, but very cold, temperatures once again struggling

to get above freezing. Very cold air across the near Continent and a

strengthening south-easterly wind developing across the evening, so

that weather system I'd mentioned will bring rain to Northern Ireland,

Pembrokeshire and Cornwall. Turning to slow as it bit colder air, and a

tricky rush-hour for western England and Wales. That will spread

eastwards across the West of England and parts of southern

Scotland and return to Northern Ireland later. Blizzard conditions

over the hills, drifting as though, the potential for trouble

destruction. The Met Office had a yellow warning quite widely, the

potential for disruption anywhere, but be prepared in the amber areas,

parts of north-west England, East and Wales and the Midlands, and it

could be extended further south and east, so stay tuned to the forecast.
