:00:00. > :00:00.precipitation we get will be of a wintry nation and Thursday is one we
:00:00. > :00:00.have to watch out for. The weekend outlook, it stays chilly with a
:00:07. > :00:07.northerly wind and possibly frosty nights. The national weather
:00:08. > :00:19.forecast now. Wet and windy weather across the
:00:20. > :00:23.western side of Scotland. Blood-pressure is in charge of the
:00:24. > :00:26.weather, lots of isobars and it remains windy overnight across
:00:27. > :00:30.northern and western parts of Scotland. It will blow a gale here.
:00:31. > :00:34.That is the north-west quadrant of the UK, that is where we expect most
:00:35. > :00:39.of the overnight rain. Within north-westerly breeze it is chilly
:00:40. > :00:43.and by the end of the night it is three or 4 degrees in major towns
:00:44. > :00:47.and cities, rural spots lower than that, and a risk of icy patches in
:00:48. > :00:51.some places. Across the eastern side of Scotland not much rain, more on
:00:52. > :00:56.the west, still breezy but not as windy as it is now. Northern Ireland
:00:57. > :01:00.will be fairly cloudy with some rain in the morning, not much in northern
:01:01. > :01:07.England but some in the Pennines, but for the it will be dry.
:01:08. > :01:11.Essentially a dry start. More in the way of rain across parts of Wales
:01:12. > :01:15.and the south-west of England. The east side of England and East
:01:16. > :01:19.Scotland seemed the best sunny spells in the morning, by the
:01:20. > :01:23.afternoon more in the way of cloud, as patchy rain drifts eastwards.
:01:24. > :01:26.After a chilly start most places in single figures through the
:01:27. > :01:30.afternoon, although one or two in the south-west might get double
:01:31. > :01:34.figures. In the evening sun patchy rain, and then we will see another
:01:35. > :01:38.weather system coming in from the north and west drifting down to the
:01:39. > :01:42.Midlands by dawn on Wednesday with further showers, some turning wintry
:01:43. > :01:46.over the high ground. Starting Wednesday in single figures again.
:01:47. > :01:49.Wednesday will be a windy day for sure, blustery winds and lots of
:01:50. > :01:53.showers across Scotland, getting right across the country. Some of
:01:54. > :01:59.them will be wintry over higher ground, a few wintry showers over
:02:00. > :02:03.the hills of Northern Ireland and northern England. Further north
:02:04. > :02:07.quite cold and you have to factor in the blustery wind making it feel
:02:08. > :02:10.colder. On the subject of cold, exceptionally low temperatures in
:02:11. > :02:15.the south-east of Europe, no change for the next couple of days but it
:02:16. > :02:19.turns less cold in Germany and in Poland. On Thursday, the winds come
:02:20. > :02:24.down from the north and north-west and lots of isobars on the chart
:02:25. > :02:26.meaning it will be a windy day and a significant wind-chill factor and
:02:27. > :02:27.further wintry showers. Later on
