28/11/2015 Weather for the Week Ahead

Hello. We've got a bit of everything thrown into the weather -

some strong winds, heavy rain, hill snow - over the next ten days or so,

as well as brighter and milder weather.

Through the weekend,

still very unsettled.

We've got heavy showers rattling in from the West,

Southern and Southeastern areas

staying driest the longest,

but the wind's a real feature of the weather -

40 to 50mph gusts across England and Wales.

Looking around at 3pm,

you can see heavy bursts of showery rain

across Southwest England, Wales, the Midlands.

Gusty winds here too.

East Anglia and the far Southeast

probably staying driest longest,

but across much of Northern England and Northern Ireland,

rain showers, sleet at higher levels,

and in Scotland, those rain and sleet showers

increasingly turning to snow,

mainly on the hills and mountains.

It's a gusty day with those strong winds.

Overnight and into Sunday,

we keep the showers and strong winds.

Not quite as mild

compared to first thing Saturday.

By the time we get to Sunday,

temperatures more typically 7 or 8 degrees,

but colder air further North,

with the chance of further snow showers.

Snow amounts accumulating

across the mountains and hills of Scotland.

We've got this next weather system

approaching from the West on Sunday,

so another windy-feeling day,

plenty more showers rattling across the country,

and further snowfall to come

on the high ground of Scotland,

mainly above 400 metres or so.

Winds likely to gust to 50 to 60mph,

enough to cause significant disruption.

Turning milder in the South,

13 degrees or so,

but further North, we're still looking at

temperatures around 3 to 6 Celsius.

Some real contrasts in temperature in fact.

On into Monday morning,

this next area of low pressure

approaching from the Atlantic,

tight isobars once again.

Quite mild air in charge across much of the country,

but colder air still pushing down

into Northern Ireland and Scotland,

so still the potential that we could see

some snow and sleet across parts of Scotland.

Further South, it'll be falling as rain,

13 degrees or so,

contrast that with 4 or 5 Celsius

towards the North of Scotland.

Into Tuesday, it's a repeat performance.

We've got the next area of low pressure approaching

from the Atlantic.

Some fairly chilly conditions across Scotland,

but this band of rain works its way

Northwards and Eastwards across the country,

increasingly turning to snow as it bumps into

that colder air in the North.

This is quite a deep area of low pressure,

bringing a real squeeze in those isobars,

so another very windy story

on Wednesday, spells of rain once again for many areas,

but it is likely to be a mild story across,

11 to 14 Celsius.

Then, later next week,

things stay unsettled.

Low pressure still the dominant

driver of the weather,

but the isobars not quite as close,

so it'll be a little less windy

towards the end of next week.

In Scotland, we could see

further hill snow,

even down to lower levels,

a bit of wintery precipitation.

Elsewhere, the chance of sunnier

and milder spells,

particularly for Eastern parts.

Towards the Northwest,

further spells of rain,

perhaps with localised flooding

as rainfall totals mount up.

This is the Floodline number

if you are concerned about

any potential flood warnings.

That's it for now. Bye-bye.
