Thursday. It will brighten up as the day goes on. Here is the UK

forecast. Plenty of dry weather over the next

few days, especially across southern areas. That is courtesy of

high-pressure, keeping the weather fronts at bay to the north-west. It

was cold and grey across southern areas today. Further north, lots of

bustling sunshine after a cold start. The same glens of Scotland

are already in Frost, you can see by the tinge of blue across Scotland,

Northern Ireland and parts of northern England. In towns and

cities, not for of freezing. In Google areas, -5 in the glens. Low

cloud developing, areas of fog. They will tend to shrink away as we go

through the morning. Increasing sunshine developing. It is looking

good for a fine afternoon across the vast majority of the UK, certainly

for Northern Ireland and Scotland, a nice afternoon. Fine and dry through

the spine of the UK. The club might persist across parts of the north

and west Midlands, but it is much warmer across southern counties

compared with today. There could be some see mist in this close to the

coast of south-east England. If you are going racing at Cheltenham, it

should brighten up nicely. If not, you can listen on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Tomorrow evening and overnight, the fog will be more of an issue, quite

dusty patch is developing into the early hours of Thursday morning. We

could see some Met Office weather warnings issued. The same time, the

rain turns up for the north-west of Scotland. Further south, the

high-pressure continues to hold sway. After the foggy start, things

should brighten up, with pleasant, warm weather developing. It will be

cold and damp across the West of Scotland. It is wet and windy as we

go into Friday.
