:00:07. > :00:11.Good Afternoon. Tens of thousands of shoppers are hitting Scotland's High

:01:14. > :01:17.it, half price. I am doing OK. In Aberdeen, shoppers were out in
:01:18. > :01:29.force. You would have needed sharp elbows. In Edinburgh, long queues
:01:30. > :01:34.here until the sale opened. No shortage of those spending money on
:01:35. > :01:40.Princes Street either. The seal is really good. If you prefer your
:01:41. > :01:45.shopping online, you perhaps started shopping yesterday. There seems no
:01:46. > :01:48.shortage of people in Scotland who like the fool sales experience, the

:03:22. > :03:33.map for us tonight. We are looking at wet and windy
:03:34. > :03:40.conditions tonight. It is all down to this area of low pressure. We
:03:41. > :03:45.will see strong winds, but not the strength we saw on Christmas eve. It
:03:46. > :03:58.is a dry start to the evening, but we have a warning for rain and that
:03:59. > :04:02.comes into force around midnight. The rain will keep coming during the
:04:03. > :04:08.overnight period and tomorrow. It will be dry initially, clear spells,
:04:09. > :04:15.a touch of frost in the east. It will be heavy in places, falling as
:04:16. > :04:22.snow on high ground. There is also a yellow warning for weddings, severe
:04:23. > :04:33.gales towards the Hebrides and exposed parts of the East Coast --
:04:34. > :04:40.winds. A cloudy start, tomorrow, it will be drier in more northern
:04:41. > :04:48.parts, a bit of brightness in northern areas. That rain will keep
:04:49. > :04:52.moving in. Strong to gale force southwestern winds, touching gale
:04:53. > :04:58.force times in exposed parts of the East Coast. Saturday will be a
:04:59. > :05:01.quieter day. Thanks Judith. I'll be back with an update at 10.15
:05:02. > :05:06.tonight. Until then, from everyone on Reporting Scotland, enjoy
:05:07. > :05:13.Hello there, most of us have had a quiet Boxing Day, mostly dry,
:05:14. > :05:17.chilly, lingering mist, light winds. That is all about to change. The
:05:18. > :05:20.next storm arriving on our doorstep right now, over night tonight will
:05:21. > :05:21.see wet and windy
