:00:09. > :00:12.Good evening. If you are still dreaming of a white Christmas, I am
:00:12. > :00:18.afraid the closest I can offer you is a touch of frost tomorrow
:00:18. > :00:22.morning. Otherwise a mild prospect for the Christmas weekend. We are
:00:22. > :00:29.in between two weather systems, one which brought wet weather earlier
:00:29. > :00:33.in the day and will bring more cloud tomorrow. Under those clear
:00:33. > :00:38.skies, temperatures have been falling away. Temperatures will get
:00:38. > :00:41.close to freezing with maybe a few slippery patches. It does turn wet
:00:41. > :00:47.across the West of Scotland eventually, a sign of things to
:00:47. > :00:53.come. Lows of one, two or three agrees and things could get milder
:00:53. > :00:58.tomorrow through the day. -- three degrees. It is rain which is the
:00:58. > :01:03.name of the game across much of Western Scotland. Patchy rain for
:01:04. > :01:07.much of Scotland but it turns drier and brighter for the rest of the UK
:01:07. > :01:12.over Christmas Eve. A bit drab and damp for the last of the shopping.
:01:12. > :01:18.We will see a lot of rain over this area and always to the east, we
:01:18. > :01:23.have a rain shadow effect, so staying dry, whereas to the west of
:01:23. > :01:27.the Pennines and the Cumbrian Fells, a fair bit of rain eventually. Some
:01:27. > :01:33.patchy rain turning up over Wales and the same can be said of parts
:01:33. > :01:37.of south-west England. Some dampness up over the moors.
:01:37. > :01:42.Increasing wind as well. Further east, somewhat drier with a fair
:01:42. > :01:47.bit of cloud pushing in, with possibly the odd spot of rain.
:01:47. > :01:52.Getting chilly in that breeze, but the story is that it will be a mild
:01:52. > :01:56.Christmas Day, a pretty windy one as well, and in fact, severe gales
:01:56. > :01:59.in the most exposed parts of the North, and that will push the rain
:01:59. > :02:07.back northwards and I am afraid it is Western Scotland which will
:02:07. > :02:12.suffer the most. Further south, possibly up to 14 in southern parts
:02:12. > :02:16.of Scotland. And what they contrast to last year! You cannot fail to
:02:16. > :02:21.remember how cold it was. Some places did not get above freezing
