:00:00. > :00:00.course, there'll be the threat of some rain. More with the national
:00:00. > :00:07.forecast now. Good evening. It's been turning
:00:08. > :00:10.colder from the north so far today. It's been cold enough for
:00:11. > :00:14.significant snow in northern Scotland. This was mid afternoon.
:00:15. > :00:19.More recently it's been blowing around over the tops of the
:00:20. > :00:23.mountains. Snow in April not necessarily unusual but it's usually
:00:24. > :00:27.unwelcome. The colder air coming in behind the front which clears
:00:28. > :00:32.towards the near continent, opening the floodgates to this Coldstream of
:00:33. > :00:35.air all the way from the Arctic. That cold air increasingly cold air
:00:36. > :00:39.will spread its way across all parts tonight and will be with us tomorrow
:00:40. > :00:42.and Wednesday as well. A cold night ahead of us. A widespread frost
:00:43. > :00:46.developing and further wintry showers. Most in Scotland and the
:00:47. > :00:50.north-east of England too. Cold winds as well. Maybe a few wintry
:00:51. > :00:54.showers in Northern Ireland and Wales, maybe the odd few into the
:00:55. > :01:00.Midlands. Clear skies, windy and cold. Major towns and cities not far
:01:01. > :01:06.from freezing. Rural spots several degrees below freezing. Widespread
:01:07. > :01:12.frost. Early on, snow showers over high ground. The risk of wintry
:01:13. > :01:16.showers in Northern Ireland. Wintry showers into the north-east of
:01:17. > :01:20.England too. South-west Scotland. Lying snow over higher ground here
:01:21. > :01:24.first thing. For the bulk of England and Wales, clear skies overnight,
:01:25. > :01:28.clear and sunny through the morning but cold and windy, maybe one or two
:01:29. > :01:32.early showers in the south-west. Make the most of the early morning
:01:33. > :01:35.sunshine because the cloud will build and we'll see a whole rash of
:01:36. > :01:41.showers developing, some turning out to be heavy and thundery with hail.
:01:42. > :01:45.A chilly day, six degrees in Stornoway. It will feel colder,
:01:46. > :01:51.particularly in the eastern areas and when the hail showers come along
:01:52. > :01:56.too, cold, gusty down drafts from the cloud and it will feel like it's
:01:57. > :01:59.around about freezing. A cold day with temperatures up and down.
:02:00. > :02:07.Wintry showers around by the evening still. They'll become confined to
:02:08. > :02:11.eastern areas. A widespread frost too on Wednesday morning. A cold
:02:12. > :02:16.frosty start to Wednesday then and another day of sunny spells and
:02:17. > :02:20.showers. Towards the far north-west, thicker cloud and rain arrives. That
:02:21. > :02:25.is the sign of another change. Late Wednesday on into Thursday, slightly
:02:26. > :02:26.less cold air sweeps in across the UK, so temperatures should creep up
:02:27. > :03:11.at least by but I was wondering if maybe you
:03:12. > :03:16.might fancy a drink?
