Heading towards the weekend, said to

he'll snow Saturday night into

Sunday morning.

Good evening. Snow in the forecast

tonight and also a lot of frost.

Quite a cold week and the next

couple of nights particularly cold.

Tomorrow night will be the coldest

night of the week. In the short term

this is the radar and the snow and

rain moving through parts of

Northern Ireland and Scotland. That

stone tomorrow night. Even on the

south coast -5, negative double

digits expected in Scotland. A look

at the forecast for Wednesday self,

starting off frosty with a lot of

scraping of the windscreen. Then

things turn a little bit less cold

through the course of Wednesday with

cloud and rain increasing across

many Western and northern areas.

That means that by Thursday the

weather front is over us, wind

coming from the so temperatures

temporarily rising. So that is
