very good night. Good evening. As we have seen, it

has been an exceptionally wet month and it is not even over yet. The

final day of January promises even more heavy rain and that is not the

only hazard. There could be some snow and strong winds over the next

48 hours. We have seen too many of these weather systems steaming in

higher parts of northern England, particularly across the hills and

travelling tomorrow in Scotland, take note, those high winds will be

blowing the snow around. It is a wet evening wherever you are. There

could be some snow at lower levels in Scotland in the early hours.

Wintry showers sweep across the country throughout Saturday. Some

drier and brighter spells in between, but feeling cold as the

before we get there there are some potential hazards over the next

couple of days. Through Friday evening and overnight and into

Saturday there is potential for snow in Scotland. Those strong and gusty

winds bring
