Hi there. The weather is going through | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
a transition at the moment, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
as we go from winter into spring. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
The sun is getting ever-stronger | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
but the air is still quite cold, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
and that can manifest itself | 0:00:09 | 0:00:10 | |
in some interesting | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
and apparently confusing contradictions. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
On Monday, we seen | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
a huge contrast in the weather. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
Wet for some, sunny for others, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
and for a few of us, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
a reminder that winter | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
ain't finished yet. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
There was some snowfall around, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
this the scene during | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
Monday evening across Midlothian. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
And the weather will continue | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
to chop and change on a daily basis | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
through the rest of this week, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
as the seasons battle it out. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
There will be rain, there'll be shine, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
and there will be a continued chance | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
of some snow, especially across northern areas. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
We've got low-pressure in control | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
and various frontal bands around | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
that area of low pressure bringing rain, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
and with the air still quite chilly, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
a continued chance of | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
some of that rain turning to snow. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
This is the theme on Tuesday, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
areas of rain and hill snow | 0:00:53 | 0:00:54 | |
pushing in from the north-west | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
and tracking their way west-to-east | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
across England and Wales. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
Some sunshine ahead and behind that, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
some parts of northern England | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
having a drab and cold afternoon. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
Some of the best of the sunshine | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
actually across parts of | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
Nowhere will it be warm, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
temperatures in single figures. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
So that little chap clears away eastwards | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
and, as we head into the night and skies clear, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
we're expecting a frost around, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:19 | |
further wintry showers | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
across the north of Scotland. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
As we get into Wednesday, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
the next frontal system | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
comes in from the west, and that's going to spread | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
some rain into southern counties. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
Question mark as to | 0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | |
how far north that rain extends, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
but central areas could eventually turn pretty damp. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Best of the brightness further north, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
but another chilly day. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
Into Thursday and the uncertainties continue, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
but it looks like we will have | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
a band of rain through central areas, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
some hill snow as well to the south, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
milder to the north, distinctly chilly. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Let's go over to the States. Why? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
Because what's happening in the States could impact | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
our weather later in the week. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
Some really violent storms at the moment, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
this was the scene on Monday | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
across the Deep South. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
Some thunderstorms, some tornadoes as well. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
The threat is there again | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
on Tuesday through the Midwest, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
injecting a lot of energy | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
into the atmosphere. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
Actually, these really big storms | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
could well disrupt the jet stream, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
which then transports itself | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
across the Atlantic and could | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
well develop a kink like this | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
as we head towards the end of the week, | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
and that will impact on how quickly | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
and how far north weather systems | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
travel later on this week. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
So, take this chart with a little bit of | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
a pinch of salt in terms of the detail. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
It does look as if we're going to see | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
an area of low pressure and rain somewhere | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
across the country, but how far north, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
big question mark as | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
it runs into the cold air. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Again, a continued chance of some snow. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
We've got this sort of battle going on | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
between cold air to the north and milder air | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
to the south. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
And along that battleground, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
we have got the jet stream. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
It will be there through the weekend, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
dividing the cold from the mild. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
The question mark is - | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
how far north will the jet stream get? | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
And that would displace the cold air | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
if it does move northwards. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
In this scenario through next week, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
we're going to see areas of low pressure | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
tracking in from the Atlantic, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
delivering rain, yes, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
but delivering milder air. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
However, that is not a bolt-on certainty | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
by an stretch of the imagination. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Some computer models hold | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
the jet stream further south, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
allowing high pressure to build | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
to the north and pushing cold air | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
in from the north-east. Colder air, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
but probably dryer as well. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
The battle continues and | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
the uncertainty continues as well. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
I hopefully will update you again | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
this time tomorrow. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 |
