:06:20. > :06:23.Colchester by two goals to one. And in Division Two,

:06:24. > :06:27.Mansfield beat Newport County, `0. So, it's goodbye from me,

:06:28. > :06:46.but with your weather now, It has been a decent day, and

:06:47. > :06:50.despite those wins. I can't give you a completely dry day tomorrow, but

:06:51. > :06:56.those hours will be isolated. It will be later. It is paying on that

:06:57. > :07:03.cool side, and certainly cold nights to come tonight. It will relain dry.

:07:04. > :07:09.Temperatures will be going hnto single figures. Maybe as low as four

:07:10. > :07:14.or five Celsius. Tomorrow morning, a chilly start. A great start, though,

:07:15. > :07:18.lots of sunshine around in the morning. A lot of clouds increase in

:07:19. > :07:23.the afternoon, with some isolated showers later on in the day, but

:07:24. > :07:27.plenty of sunshine in betwedn. Those temperatures are struggling once

:07:28. > :07:29.again, we will get up to 16 or 7 Celsius.

:07:30. > :07:31.In a few moments we will have a full national forecast,

:07:32. > :07:33.but for now I'll leave you with a look at the outlook.

:07:34. > :07:41.looking at the risk of showers for Friday though.

:07:42. > :07:48.Good evening. Autumn, August. It's an easy slip of the tongue to make,

:07:49. > :07:52.but the two do seem mixed up at the moment. Tomorrow morning, you could

:07:53. > :07:59.be forgiven for thinking it's October, as you step out the door.

:08:00. > :08:03.It's going to be cold. Why so chilly, well, because we are drawing

:08:04. > :08:07.the air down from the north and the brisk breeze dies down. The showers

:08:08. > :08:13.disappear and the temperatures tumble. Towns and cities nine or

:08:14. > :08:18.ten. In rural areas widely down to four or five degrees and some places

:08:19. > :08:19.just two or three above freezing.
