milder later in the week. That is it from me but coming up next is the

national picture. Good evening. But frost or not of frost, that is the

weather question for tomorrow and the answer is no, probably not

because of this weather front that is slipping south from Scotland,

maybe towards the south-west where we might have one or two pockets of

clearer skies. The real cold air is in the north, behind that cold front

and that will be as significant as we move into Thursday morning. It

means that overnight temperatures will stay just above freezing with

the exception in parts of Scotland. Around three or 5 degrees in many

towns and city centres but the cold air behind that fund really kicks in

on Wednesday night into Thursday with a widespread hard frost quite

possible. Wednesday morning, this is the front bringing some nuisance

cloud and outbreaks of light, drizzly rain. In the south-west you

might see a bit of early-morning brightness but it is not expected to

last because the cloud will continue to push south-west, sitting across

the London area and the Midlands and North Wales as well as Northern

Ireland where it will be a grey and dull and damp start. Northern

England, not too bad, like Scotland but still a stiff wind across the

Northern Isles and effecting eastern Scotland, driving in some showers

and some of them could be wintry. It will feel cold here, particularly

with the wind on the exposed coast. Decent spells of sunshine in

Scotland and northern England, eventually Northern Ireland and

North Wales and the Midlands as that fund sinks south and west.

Temperatures around eight or nine degrees -- that front. Three for the

best in Scotland. Widespread hard frost likely at the temperatures

fall away across the country on Wednesday night into Thursday

morning and in rural spots we could have loads of -5 or -6 so you could

be scraping the windscreen first thing. And the potential for some

freezing fog patches. The risk of some isolated showers in the east

but not a bad day on Thursday, dry with some sunshine and a bit more of

a breeze and not quite as cold in the West because of what is coming

on Friday. A series of fronts move in bringing wet and windy weather

through the day, which means it will be rather cloudy with outbreaks of

showery rain moving towards London by the end of the date but it does

mean as we headed to the weekend Panorama investigates

the deadly terrorist attack and should British tourists

have been warned about the risks?
