After a record-breaking mild but wet December, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
we've become accustomed to seeing spring bulbs in the garden, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
but all that warmth brought the moisture | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
and the record-breaking floods as well, | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
but I suspect any lying water still in the fields | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
may freeze over over the next coming days. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
It's all change and, unfortunately, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
our spring bulbs may well get shrouded | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
in some light snow for a time. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:25 | |
More on that in just a moment, but let's move back to the here and now. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
Low pressure still in the driving seat | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
and producing outbreaks of rain for Monday, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
the most heavy and persistent, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
perhaps, across the Peaks and Pennines | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
with some hill snow here into north-east England | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
and south-east Scotland. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
Elsewhere, it's a case of sunny spells | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
and scattered showers, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
but some of those showers | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
still a bit of a nuisance. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
Frequent ones into the Northern | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
and Western Isles, in particular. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
It's going to feel quite cool | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
here into the afternoon | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
with a strong wind, four or five degrees, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
but some drier weather | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
through the bulk of Scotland | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
through the day. Sunny spells | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
and showers into Northern Ireland. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
There's our rain I've already mentioned. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
Elsewhere, there will be some showers around, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
hopefully some brightness from time to time, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
but some of those showers pretty organised | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
south of the M4 corridor | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
with highs of six to nine degrees. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
The low does drift off into the North Sea | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
Monday night into Tuesday, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
allowing the isobars to swing round | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
to more of a northerly direction, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
and allowing the first signs | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
of the icy blast to arrive. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
It's going to be a subtle transition, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
but it will feel colder through Tuesday | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
and with each day this week as well. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
So, as we move into Tuesday, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
there'll be plenty of showers around. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
The winds coming from a northerly direction, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
pretty blustery, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
so it will take the edge off the feel of things, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
particularly in those showers - | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
four to eight degrees the overall high. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
As we move into Tuesday night, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
this nose of high pressure starts to build. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:52 | |
The isobars open out, the winds fall light, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
skies clear and, at this time of year, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
that can only mean one thing - | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
those temperatures plummeting | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
and we'll see minus five | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
to minus nine degrees | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
first thing on Wednesday morning. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
A real widespread hard frost | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
not out of the question. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
At least there should be some sunshine, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
particularly through central | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
and eastern areas on Wednesday. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
However, there is the potential | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
for some rain to pull into the south-west | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
and, as that bumps into the colder air, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
there is a level of uncertainty | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
as to how much snow we could get at lower levels | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
and, as that tracks that little bit further south | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
and east overnight Wednesday into Thursday, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
we could wake up to a dusting of snow | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
to the higher ground, maybe, to the Chilterns | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
and across the south-east corner, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
but high pressure is starting to build | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
and hopefully quieten things down | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
as we move into the weekend. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
One thing's for certain this week - | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
that cold, icy blast | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
will start to dominate the weather story | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
and that will be a shock to the system. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
I don't want you complaining about it. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
We've had that mild, wet weather | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
that we've been desperate to get rid of. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
But there is uncertainty into the weekend. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
If the low pressure nudges | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
a little bit further west, | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
it'll keep enhancing the showers. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
If the high pressure builds, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
that should quieten things down | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
for the weekend. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
It still stays cold, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
but frost will be more of an issue. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
But I suspect | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
into the six to ten day period, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
it looks as though the cold weather | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
is set to stay with us | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
so sights like this with early morning frost | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
is going to be quite widespread. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
It will feel colder in the outlook, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
frost and ice certainly an issue | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
and any showers that we get | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
could be of a wintry nature, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
even at lower levels for a time. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
It's getting pretty exciting | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
and chilly with it. Take care. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Well, there's a surprise. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:32 | |
And it's DAME Judi, by the way. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
Halt! | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 |
