0:00:01 > 0:00:04The national picture is with Chris Fawkes.

0:00:21 > 0:00:24of Scotland, again it was a snow day. More of the same to come as

0:00:24 > 0:00:30well over the next 24 hours. On the big picture, the jet is still

0:00:30 > 0:00:33displaced a long way to the south and what that means is there is

0:00:33 > 0:00:35nothing to move this area of low pressure

0:00:35 > 0:00:37nothing to move this area of low pressure along. Just going to spin

0:00:37 > 0:00:42over the top of the UK for the rest of this week. There are moisture,

0:00:42 > 0:00:46bands of rain moving across England, Wales and Northern Ireland and over

0:00:46 > 0:00:51the higher ground in Scotland we are seeing that turned to snow. More

0:00:51 > 0:00:55wintry weather to come to some of us. Overnight the rain tends to

0:00:55 > 0:00:59clear away with a few clearer spells temperature could dip down, perhaps

0:00:59 > 0:01:03the odd pocket of frost here or there to start Tuesday. Tuesday

0:01:03 > 0:01:08could be another one of those days in Scotland. We are looking at some

0:01:08 > 0:01:14further heavy snow. Above 200 metres elevation, so only hill snow, we

0:01:14 > 0:01:17could see around 5-10 centimetres of snow building on but that means some

0:01:17 > 0:01:21high-level routes could see some transport disruption. Lower down in

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Scotland and towards the east coast, it is rain and that in itself could

0:01:24 > 0:01:28cause problems because the rain will be heavy and combined with snowmelt,

0:01:28 > 0:01:33we could see some localised surface water flooding. A few showers and

0:01:33 > 0:01:36western areas, the weather quite quiet elsewhere, with some sunny

0:01:36 > 0:01:47spells it will feel quite pleasant in London.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50in London. Highs of 12, but still quite chilly with that hill smoke

0:01:50 > 0:01:52pouring down in Scotland. Looking at the weather picture for Wednesday,

0:01:52 > 0:01:55low pressure is still over the top of us. This weather front will bring

0:01:55 > 0:01:57a zone of cloudy weather through the English Channel, some rain in

0:01:57 > 0:01:59south-east England and East Anglia for a time. That should clear away

0:01:59 > 0:02:01through the afternoon. Skies brightening up. Most snow will have

0:02:01 > 0:02:04eased away from Scotland, so improvements with the weather here

0:02:04 > 0:02:07and the temperature is recovering somewhat, highs of 6 degrees in

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Edinburgh. On Thursday, fairly quiet weather for most of us. The winds

0:02:11 > 0:02:16tending to turn to Maud north-westerly direction. Cloud and

0:02:16 > 0:02:20rain never too far away from the south coast. Temperatures between

0:02:20 > 0:02:246-9dC. As we look at the forecast towards the end of the week on the

0:02:24 > 0:02:27weekend, I think generally be more than half of the UK will see

0:02:27 > 0:02:31temperatures staying on the cool side. Further south, telling
