:04:39. > :04:41.here's Cecilia Daly with a look at the weather forecast for the rest

:04:42. > :04:51.It has been cold and wintry today, sleet and snow showers are affecting

:04:52. > :04:56.many places. The snow continues to lie in some areas tonight. It will

:04:57. > :05:00.become very icy, not great whether travelling. Eventually we see milder

:05:01. > :05:06.air returning in the course of Sunday but tonight the main focus is

:05:07. > :05:10.on snow and ice. The wind will ease, further sleet and snow showers, I

:05:11. > :05:15.see in places as temperatures drop below freezing. By the end of the

:05:16. > :05:22.night, rain, sleet and snow on the high ground and that is how we start

:05:23. > :05:25.Sunday. Cold, grey and damp but it will become milder and wetter as the

:05:26. > :05:30.day progresses. Pretty cold and wet and dry morning, low temperatures to

:05:31. > :05:33.begin, sleet, hill snow and that continues to be the case across

:05:34. > :05:38.Scotland and northern England with icy conditions for a while. Milder

:05:39. > :05:42.air will arrive across the Republic of Ireland and Wales and England but

:05:43. > :05:49.for north-east England and Scotland, it stays cold and wintry. The middle

:05:50. > :05:54.of the afternoon, pretty wet, not as windy as today but milder air pushes

:05:55. > :05:59.in so much of the snow will tend to melt away. Pretty great tomorrow,

:06:00. > :06:03.not so much sunshine. Mild weather to come on Sunday night but

:06:04. > :06:09.increasingly windy as this next area of low pressure has been named

:06:10. > :06:14.Henry. This brings stormy weather again to northern Britain and much

:06:15. > :06:17.of Ireland through Monday. For Northern Ireland, a wind warning in

:06:18. > :06:24.place, severe gales, potentially damage and disruption again with

:06:25. > :06:28.gusts in excess of 60 miles an hour. Mild on Monday and gradually

:06:29. > :06:32.becoming less windy on Tuesday and Wednesday. Also colder. We are back

:06:33. > :06:36.tomorrow evening. Take care on the. bought on the streets
