way, enough

double-figure temperatures all the

way, enough of me, here is the

national weather picture.

Good evening. Strong winds, heavy

rain and snow keep on coming thick

and fast at the moment and a lot of

that is down to the jet stream, the

winds high above our heads way up in

the atmosphere, which are blowing in

a pretty brisk fashion at the moment

across the Atlantic continuing to

spin up areas of low pressure, just

like this one, which is sliding in

our direction at the moment. This

frontal system will bring rain for

some and snow for others and ahead

of that the winds will strengthen,

gales like Team Austin areas through

the rest of the night, the winds

touching 70 mph across western parts

of Scotland. Rain and some snow

sliding into the west but ahead of

that under clear skies a cold night

with a widespread frost and

potential for some ice. A bright

start for many central Andes din

areas tomorrow, not so out west. We

see the cloud, outbreaks of rain

mostly in the south, but from North

Wales, North Midlands, North Woods

we will see some snow. For some time

we could see the snowfall at low

levels and become increasingly

confined to high ground, north-west

Scotland has seen 12 centimetres of

snow, seven centimetres in the

Southern uplands, strong and gusty

winds blowing it around, snow in the

Pennines, the Peak District, the

hills of North Wales. Further south

it will mainly be rain falling from

the cloud, perhaps something like

sleet over the high ground as it

works through the afternoon. The

snow further north increasingly

confined to high ground, brisk

winds, but noticed something milder

out west, 10 degrees in Belfast, 11

in Plymouth through the afternoon.

It will be a wet Wednesday evening

across parts of eastern England as

we push the frontal system away

East. Agent mainly be gone by

Thursday morning and then on

Thursday it is a bright day, plenty

of sunshine to be had, the further

north and west you are, greater

chance of wintry showers

particularly Northern Ireland and

Scotland, still on the cool side

here. Further south, ten or 11

degrees and with sunshine it will

feel pleasant and that is a sign of

things to come. Remember the active

jet stream. As we head into the

weekend it becomes a lot weaker, and

instead of racing towards the

British Isles it is deflecting a

long way North, meaning it will turn

quieter, more in the way of dry

weather for the end of the week into

the weekend, turning mild as well
