:06:30. > :06:33.up for me today. Icy conditions tonight. A pretty cold weekend.

:06:34. > :06:38.There are some flood warnings on a few parts of the Thames, the East

:06:39. > :06:42.Coast, the ice will affect all of us overnight tonight. There could be a

:06:43. > :06:46.few wintry flurries blown in, but even if we get the odd dusting of

:06:47. > :06:49.snow from one or two showers, I think the ice is the main concern as

:06:50. > :06:53.temperatures plummet below freezing. A bitterly cold start again tomorrow

:06:54. > :06:57.morning. Because we have the clear skies for most it means it should be

:06:58. > :07:00.a sparkling day. There could be a wintry showers around possibly to

:07:01. > :07:05.the east or west of us, but a good deal of dry, sunny weather.

:07:06. > :07:07.Certainly not warm, but the wind chill won't be as severe today,

:07:08. > :07:22.because the winds are easing down. 4-7. The

:07:23. > :07:25.cloud will start to increase, a change through the second half of

:07:26. > :07:28.the weekend. There's a question. Will it be a period of snow, or

:07:29. > :07:29.freezing rain? It's a wintry feel. 5-6 is the best we will have. It

:07:30. > :07:31.stays cold into the beginning 5-6 is the best we will have. It

:07:32. > :07:38.stays cold into the beginning of next week as well

:07:39. > :07:45.stop Good evening, a cold, icy night, but some others have other

:07:46. > :07:50.concerns. This was the scene earlier today, huge waves crashing on to the

:07:51. > :07:54.shoreline at Whitley Bay. We still have the peak of the high tide to

:07:55. > :08:00.come in other parts. This is the flood line number. It's if you have

:08:01. > :08:04.any concerns. The worst of the wind slowly comes -- subsiding. Wintry

:08:05. > :08:06.showers across the North
