:00:08. > :00:15.Good evening. Not many would argue that January hasn't been dry, but
:00:16. > :00:19.today, many of us had our first significant rain for some time,
:00:20. > :00:22.because the transition is on from cold, Continental dry air to milder
:00:23. > :00:27.Atlantic air, but the transition is a slow one. So we have had ice
:00:28. > :00:31.today, and freezing fog, in northern England. We had a little sunshine as
:00:32. > :00:38.well in Norfolk, but we still have the cold air around and about in the
:00:39. > :00:41.north. All this rain you can see, which is giving is a wet day in some
:00:42. > :00:45.areas, 10-15 millimetres of rain has fallen, as it comes north there
:00:46. > :00:49.could be some winter it issues. Snow already falling over Scotland,
:00:50. > :00:54.possibly over northern England, possibly some sleet over lower areas
:00:55. > :00:58.and fog. Not particularly nice, and some icy conditions to contend with
:00:59. > :01:02.late in the night across Northern Ireland, as the rain clears away.
:01:03. > :01:07.Again, a word of warning there could be some ice around in the morning if
:01:08. > :01:10.you are heading out, in fact this evening and overnight. It's a great
:01:11. > :01:15.start to Saturday. Quite a lot of cloud and rain. Heavy for a time,
:01:16. > :01:19.still some winteriness in the north. A gradual brightening up from the
:01:20. > :01:22.West through the afternoon. Not without more showers, so it's more
:01:23. > :01:25.unsettled picture. Those showers could be heavy with hail and
:01:26. > :01:41.thunder. There could be good spells of sunshine in between. Not
:01:42. > :01:45.exactly one, 7-8. A gradual warming trend. Quite great and damp in
:01:46. > :01:47.eastern areas, the main rain clearing but drizzling is around.
:01:48. > :01:49.Winteriness in the hills. The rain hanging on in the north and wintry

:01:53. > :01:54.ice on Sunday. That's the morning. The big question is the rainfall to
:01:55. > :01:59.the south. The computer models have been fairly consistent, indicating a
:02:00. > :02:05.mostly dry day for sunshine -- Friday for Scotland with ice and fog
