Hello. After a snowy end to the week, it'll stay cold | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
through the weekend. Whilst the heaviest of the snow | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
has cleared away, I wouldn't be surprised | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
if we get a few flakes of snow | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
across East Anglia and the south-east on Saturday, | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
particularly across the hills. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
The Chilterns, for example, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
could see some wet snow first thing. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
The cold air stream | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
is with us into Monday. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
You can see all of that blue, the cold air. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
Milder air wants to get in | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
but it won't reach us till Wednesday. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
We'll have a look at that later. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
In the short term, with the cold air | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
sitting on top of us and this low pressure | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
close by, there's always a risk | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
of some winteriness. The thinking is, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
during Saturday, it's cloudy, cold, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
and gloomy with outbreaks of rain, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
at times sleet, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
across eastern and south-eastern areas, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
some sleet and snow showers | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
on those cold northerly winds | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
across Scotland, the Borders, north-east of England, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
but the majority of the UK | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
should have a relatively fine day | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
with sunny spells. Cold, temperatures around 5 or 6 degrees. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Sunday - the low pressure | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
and those sluggishly moving weather fronts | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
are still close by, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
still just about nibbling away on East Anglia | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
and the south-east, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:19 | |
so it may still be cloudy and damp | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
but it should brighten up. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
There's another weather system | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
for Sunday night, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
which could bring a bit of winteriness | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
but during the course of Sunday, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
it's looking bright and cold - | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
4 degrees in Newcastle, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
6 for Plymouth. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
On Sunday night into Monday, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
we could see a little rain, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
possibly some winteriness across the hills | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
of western parts of the UK | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
but Monday itself | 0:01:49 | 0:01:50 | |
does look as though it should be a mostly dry day, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
probably the last coldish day. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
You can still see the arrows coming in | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
from the Arctic, so a nippy day, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
particularly across Scotland, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
but, on balance, it's not going to be | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
such a bad day. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
The milder air is in the Atlantic, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
waiting to come our way | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
and the hint is in the jet stream. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
This is Monday - the jet stream is coming in from the north, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
but then this dramatic change. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
By the time we get to Tuesday, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
it comes in straight from the west, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
from the slightly less cold North Atlantic, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
so this is another way of looking at it. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
This is the wind closer to the surface, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
it's pushing in weather fronts | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
and that slightly milder air. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
The really mild air is way towards the south. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Perhaps outbreaks of rain and thicker cloud | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
across western areas. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
Those temperatures sluggishly creeping up. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
5 degrees across eastern parts of the UK. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
The middle part of the week - | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
one weather system crossing across the country. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
Just about cold enough for some wintery weather | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
across the hills. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Wednesday - we might get to double figures | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
across the south of the country, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
but the milder air | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
is way towards the west of Ireland at this stage. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
End of the week - high pressure to the south, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
and areas of low pressure coming in off the North Atlantic, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
we get that squeeze of slightly milder air, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
so it comes in off the Atlantic, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
so things will turn that little bit milder. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
Real spring is not on the cards just yet, | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
but at least we'll lose those cold northerly winds | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
and the risk of significant snow. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 |
