10 degrees but if you want the

national outlook Louise Lear is here

in just a second.

Good evening, it's been an

interesting week of it wintry

weather. We started off with

pictures like this, some heavy snow,

some freezing weather conditions,

but I suspect, as we move into the

week ahead it will be somewhat

different, we will see cloudy skies,

milder conditions but pretty great,

but not that much in the way of

rain. For the here and now it looks

like we have one more day of cold

weather before the mild air pushes

in from the south-west but

unfortunately most air bringing rain

for all of us at some point during

Sunday. Ahead of that Saturday

morning will start rather cold and

frosty for some of us, particularly

in the central and eastern part of

the country. Some showery outbreaks

of rain in Northern Ireland and

temperatures will hold up above

freezing but though showers are a

nuisance starting Saturday morning.

Showers frequent in the run down the

Irish Sea into Wales but in Central

and eastern areas the frost will

lift as the sunshine comes through.

Into the middle of the afternoon we

keep the risk of showers moving in

through the south and west, across

Cornwall and into Wales, making it

feel pretty miserable, despite highs

of 6-8d. Through the Midlands,

eastern England will see sunshine

despite the frosty start, the sun

will come through and temperatures

will struggle, two or three degrees

at the best. Showers across

north-west England, one or two into

Northern Ireland but easing into the

afternoon. Not a bad day for

Scotland, clear skies, sunshine but

cold and one or 2 degrees. As we

move out of Saturday into Sunday

here is the change, the weather

front pushing in from the Atlantic,

the isobars squeezing together and a

south easterly flow bringing in this

mild air. Some of the rain heavy for

a time across west facing coasts,

somewhat erratic pushing across

eastern England, but rainfall of us

at some point on Sunday, double

digits out to the west, ten or 11

degrees. That front will clear away

and we will see a ridge of high

pressure building as we start the

new working week, which basically

means it will be relatively quiet.

Perhaps a little bit cooler on

Monday but not much. A lot of cloud

around but the cloudy mild theme is

really set to continue as we move

into Monday and Tuesday. So, if you

have not enjoyed the cold wintry

weather you will be pleased with the

theme into next week, mainly dry,

mild
