Hello. We are not done with winter yet | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
and those of you who live across the eastern half of the UK | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
will know exactly what I'm talking about. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
This Weather Watchers picture from Friday afternoon in Newcastle | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
really tells the scene - | 0:00:12 | 0:00:13 | |
a light dusting of snow, a cold feel | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
across the country and that story continues through the weekend. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
A lot of cloud around, | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
the showers will be wintry in nature | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
and the wind will strengthen as well, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
just making it feel even colder | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
if that's possible. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:27 | |
Now we'll start off with | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
some wintry showers stretching through | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
eastern Scotland across the north-east of England | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
and some of those will push | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
a little bit further westwards | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
through the course of the afternoon, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
something that we've not seen in recent days, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
so I suspect by three o'clock Saturday afternoon | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
there's likely to be a few showers, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
showers chiefly of rain, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
across the West Country, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
but not a particularly warm feel | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
to the day, 3 or 4 degrees. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
There'll be some showers or sleet | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
and snow mixed in there across Wales | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
and really it will be rain | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
close to the coastline | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
in the south-east corner, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
but a cold feel when you add on | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
the strength of that wind. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
Gales not out of the question, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
with further snow showers | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
across the north of England. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
Northern Ireland and north-west Scotland, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
you will see the best of any brightness, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
but again into eastern Scotland, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
those nagging nuisance showers | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
set to continue and in fact | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
they'll enhance through the night | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
on Saturday into Sunday, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:16 | |
across the Pennines and the Peak District | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
for a time, yet more accumulations | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
of snow likely, but then as we go | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
through Sunday, a brisk easterly wind, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
but it's likely that we'll see | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
the snow showers turning back to rain. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
To the north and south perhaps | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
something a little bit drier | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
and perhaps brighter into the north-west, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
but still not particularly warm. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
Now as we move out of Sunday into Monday, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
we will start to see the isobars squeezing up, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
the wind strengthening again, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:42 | |
but starting to swing round to a south-easterly, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
so there is a glimmer of hope | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
in the story as we look further ahead. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
On Monday, there'll be a little more | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
in the way of sunshine | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
breaking up that cloud, that breeze, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
a little bit of drier air, not... | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
not quite as cold as it has been, | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
5 to 8 degrees the high. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
As we move out of Monday into Tuesday, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
we'll start to see the winds really slowly pivoting around from | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
a south-easterly eventually to a southerly direction. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
This weather front likely to threaten | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
into the south-west. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
It might bring some cloud | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
and outbreaks of rain, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
but it'll start to, again, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
bring a slightly less cold feel | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
across the country, 6 to 11, double digits | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
in the far south-west. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
As we move into Wednesday, | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
more of a southerly flow, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
a good deal of dry weather | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
is expected in the story, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
lighter winds, so if you get | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
some sunshine coming through, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
10, 12 degrees will certainly feel | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
much better than it has done of late. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
So, as we go on to the latter stages of the week, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
it looks likely... it's going to be a slow process | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
but this milder air will push right across the country | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
and we've lost that bitterly cold | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
wintry flavour. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
As we look further afield, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
the six- to ten-day period, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
that area of high pressure | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
that's so been dominant | 0:02:51 | 0:02:52 | |
just recently, if that sits close | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
towards France, there's the potential | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
of allowing those areas of low pressure to move in | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
and that will bring some wet weather, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
so something perhaps a little more mobile, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
a little bit more unsettled, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
however there is the potential | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
and this is the less likely scenario, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
but if that high pressure drifts | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
a little bit further north | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
and just centres itself more across | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
England and Wales, the low pressures | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
will skip to the extreme north | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
and we're likely | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
to stay drier yet again. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
That will cause a problem with some early morning frost and fog, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
but once that lifts, we could see some dry weather | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
continuing into the longer | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
six- to ten-day period. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
Take care. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 |
