:04:12. > :04:15.falling to minus six Celsius. Turning colder again tonight with a
:04:16. > :04:19.few wintry showers. This evening, and a full rain, sleet and snow for
:04:20. > :04:23.parts of North and mid Wales. Mostly dry further south but less than four
:04:24. > :04:27.patches developing and cloud thickening, too. That should prevent
:04:28. > :04:31.temperatures falling quite as low as last night. Still a frosty start
:04:32. > :04:35.from any tomorrow. Some ice possible. Probably not as bright as
:04:36. > :04:39.today. Some sunny spells but generally a bit cloudy for most. A
:04:40. > :04:45.few spots of light rain and snow in places. Feeling cold again inland.
:04:46. > :04:49.Two Celsius in Wrexham. Along the coast, seven in temperature. Change
:04:50. > :04:53.into next week. Richard Stark told with some rain but risk of a little
:04:54. > :04:56.snow for some, and then later in the week it may turn milder with
:04:57. > :04:56.Atlantic winds pushing And that's all from
:04:57. > :04:59.the weekend team for today - we'll be back at 6:20pm
:05:00. > :05:01.tomorrow evening.
