:00:09. > :00:13.Hello, in this winter of perpetual autumn, it seems we're never more
:00:14. > :00:17.than a day away from a storm so we must be due another one and as
:00:18. > :00:22.you've just heard, here it comes, deepening in the Atlantic Trio
:00:23. > :00:27.heading for us. Overall for the UK, we're not expecting this to be as
:00:28. > :00:31.severe as the storm yesterday that there will be some significant
:00:32. > :00:35.impact, particularly where the Met Office has weather warnings in force
:00:36. > :00:42.and that means more rain will serve to heighten the floods. All the

:01:31. > :01:36.The wet weather moves north and briefly we will have hill snow in
:01:37. > :01:39.Wales. Some of the higher routes may be difficult for travelling at a
:01:40. > :01:43.time but in heavy bursts of snow with cold air in place, we could see
