day on Friday, wet snow around and a breeze blowing as well. Tricky into

the weekend. And now we have the national forecast.

Good evening. We know it has been a wet winter but it has also been mild

and across England and Wales, lacking in snow. The last day of the

season which we measure on Friday, might provide a bit of it. Friday's

weather is coming from the small area of low pressure. These tiny

low-pressure systems are difficult to track and a subtle change in

position could have a big impact. Tonight we have more

straightforward, a weather front spreading out rakes of rain across

most areas. Turning windy as well. The rain will be heavy but will move

through quickly because of the strength of the wind and it will be

a mild night for most. The rain is lingering across Scotland and

eastern England for the morning. It will continue to be pushed into the

North Sea but it may take most of the morning before it clears away.

Following behind, brighter skies, sunny spells but more showers than

today. Particularly for Wales, the Midlands and Sunderland. Snow over

tops of the hills in western Scotland. For eastern Scotland, it

should write a lot will stop after a damp morning across eastern counties

of England, it looks much brighter in the afternoon but not too many

showers here. There will be more showers across the Midlands and

Wales with hail and thunder. Tomorrow night, the low-pressure

system starts to arrive bringing rain. You can see it curling and

that is the low-pressure. Tracking this is crucial, it could be a

little bit further north, it could be a little bit further south. If it

is further north we could see some strong winds along the south coast

of England, particularly in the South West. And the position of it

determines where we are most likely to see some snow. At this stage it

looks like the hills of northern England, North Wales and the

Midlands but it could be further south. It is definitely one to keep

across the forecast, keep up today over the next 24 hours, particularly

if you are travelling on Friday. Into the weekend and there is still

some uncertainty but confident it will be turning colder. Showers on

Saturday and may be persistent rain across the
