0:00:00 > 0:00:02because we're losing the easterly wind. We get more of a southerly

0:00:02 > 0:00:02wind and

0:00:03 > 0:00:05wind. We get more of a southerly wind and there's the chance of some

0:00:05 > 0:00:08rain and a little snow. Now the national picture.

0:00:12 > 0:00:16Good evening. Tonight is not a good night to be heading out and about.

0:00:16 > 0:00:23There's some disruptive and in places dangerous weather. There's a

0:00:23 > 0:00:27red warning across parts of southern England and South Wales. Heavy snow

0:00:27 > 0:00:30continuing to fall, strong winds making for blizzard conditions. You

0:00:30 > 0:00:35can see the area covered by the red warning but abroad and amber be

0:00:35 > 0:00:39prepared warning as well. The amber warning stretches into Northern

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Ireland, north-east England and Northern and eastern Scotland,

0:00:41 > 0:00:45because through the rest of the light snow showers will continue to

0:00:45 > 0:00:49pile in. This area of snow in the South will drift a bit further

0:00:49 > 0:00:52north. It may be that we see things turning back to rain for a time

0:00:52 > 0:00:55close to the south coast, but that could cause its own issues, that

0:00:55 > 0:00:59rain falling on frozen services could bring some really icy

0:00:59 > 0:01:02conditions. Friday morning's rush-hour could be another tricky

0:01:02 > 0:01:08one. Could be rain close to the South Coast causing icy conditions,

0:01:08 > 0:01:11some patchy snow across southern England, Midlands, Wales and

0:01:11 > 0:01:16Northern Ireland and we'll have the snow showers continuing to top up

0:01:16 > 0:01:18the snowfall totals across parts of north-east England and eastern

0:01:18 > 0:01:22Scotland. The showers brought in on a strong easterly wind and after

0:01:22 > 0:01:26what could be a slightly dry spell for a time in the south it looks

0:01:26 > 0:01:31like we'll bring snow back again later in the day. Heavy snow for the

0:01:31 > 0:01:34South West and Wales, the snow likely to be lighter the further

0:01:34 > 0:01:37east you are. Wherever you are another cold day, particularly when

0:01:37 > 0:01:43we factor in the strength of the wind. Once again it is going to feel

0:01:43 > 0:01:47subzero. But this snow in the south is giving us one or two forecasting

0:01:47 > 0:01:50headaches. A bit of uncertainty about just how far north it will get

0:01:50 > 0:01:55and how heavy the snow will be as well. Do bear in mind for places

0:01:55 > 0:01:57like Birmingham, Bristol, London, there could be some disruption for

0:01:57 > 0:02:02the Friday evening rush hour. The band of snow will drift northwards

0:02:02 > 0:02:06on Saturday and we can. Still snow showers in the north-east. Rain,

0:02:06 > 0:02:10sleet and snow in the south-west. Temperatures just beginning to nudge

0:02:10 > 0:02:15upwards a little bit and that's a trend that continues on into Sunday.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19Areas of rain and sleet mostly at lower levels by this stage but snow

0:02:19 > 0:02:25over higher ground. Some sunny spells in between. Temperatures are

0:02:25 > 0:02:27bit higher, 3-9, although bear in mind that is still below par for the

0:02:27 > 0:02:31time of year. For the weekend something slightly less cold. The
