end of the week? No. Had Russia heading our way and wet and windy

:00:00.3:59:59

again. That is all from Hello, welcome to Look North. In the

:00:00.:00:00.

programme tonight... A man's charged with the killings of

:00:07.:00:10.

his father and grandmother in a house in North Tyneside.

:00:11.:00:14.

Warnings of 80mph winds and blizzard conditions. We're live from the West

:00:15.:00:21.

coast as the latest storm hits. Another victim of smoking ` Michelle

:00:22.:00:24.

knows she's going to die, but she hopes her example might save others.

:00:25.:00:34.

If you can stop, do it now. There are loads of things to try. Save

:00:35.:00:44.

your family going through what mine have to go through.

:00:45.:00:46.

And have North East scientists discovered the Holy Grail of

:00:47.:00:49.

cosmetics, a way to stop skin ageing?

:00:50.:00:51.

In sport, will it be a stormy night for both the Magpies and the Black

:00:52.:00:55.

Cats? Can Gus Poyet deliver a tale of the unexpected in the League Cup

:00:56.:00:58.

final dress rehearsal? And a massive win for Carlisle in

:00:59.:01:00.

their battle to beat the drop. In the last hour, a man has been

:01:01.:01:18.

charged with the murder of two people at a home in North Tyneside.

:01:19.:01:21.

It's believed he's related to them. Police were called out to the street

:01:22.:01:25.

last night after reports of a disturbance. Jonathan Swingler

:01:26.:01:34.

reports. A detached Georgian house in Benton, North Tyneside. The scene

:01:35.:01:40.

of a double killing. They have been named as Clara Patterson and Ray

:01:41.:01:45.

Patterson. Police were called here at 9:15pm last night after reports

:01:46.:01:48.

of a disturbance. A man was seen running in the road. The bodies were

:01:49.:01:52.

discovered in the house behind me. The woman was well`known to her

:01:53.:02:03.

neighbours. That field was available for the children to play football

:02:04.:02:08.

and the ball was which returned. Just a nice enough neighbour. Not

:02:09.:02:16.

obtrusive, just a nice woman to have about. 25`year`old Glenn Patterson

:02:17.:02:21.

has been charged with murder and remanded in custody. It is believed

:02:22.:02:27.

the two people who died were his grandmother and father. Results of

:02:28.:02:31.

postmortem examinations are connected tomorrow. `` are expected

:02:32.:02:36.

tomorrow. The forecasters have been issuing

:02:37.:02:40.

dire warnings all day. And the latest storm to hit the country is

:02:41.:02:43.

sweeping up the West coast of Cumbria now. With luck, we'll avoid

:02:44.:02:47.

the very worst, but that's not saying much. The Met Office says

:02:48.:02:50.

wind speeds could exceed 80mph, with blizzard conditions over high

:02:51.:02:54.

ground. We'll have the latest on road and rail conditions shortly.

:02:55.:02:57.

But first we're going to Alison Freeman in Whitehaven.

:02:58.:03:07.

We are in the sheltered calm of Whitehaven harbour, where it is safe

:03:08.:03:10.

enough for us to broadcast from. On exposed areas on the roads and

:03:11.:03:14.

particularly around the headland here, they have been experiencing

:03:15.:03:20.

some very different conditions. Gusts of up to 60 or 70 mph. The

:03:21.:03:26.

wind battered the coastline again here in West Cumbria. The gusts were

:03:27.:03:32.

just shy of 70 mph, buffeting people and anything exposed. The low tide

:03:33.:03:36.

meant that the ways were not threatening the sure this afternoon

:03:37.:03:43.

but a flood warning was issued for 10:30pm tonight. A red warning was

:03:44.:03:48.

issued in the south of the county, meaning there was concern about

:03:49.:03:51.

structural damage to building. `` two buildings. People want of gusts

:03:52.:03:58.

between 80 miles now and 100 mph. Any nonessential journeys, people

:03:59.:04:05.

should stay indoors and not use the roads. If you are going up one

:04:06.:04:09.

essential journeys, be prepared for when you go out, plan your journey

:04:10.:04:13.

and take more time. Slow down on the roads, give yourself more time to

:04:14.:04:19.

get where you want to go. The weather may not have made everyone

:04:20.:04:22.

stay inside but cautions have been taken. Electricity Northwest has

:04:23.:04:29.

been on stand`by in case of power failures and they have drafted in

:04:30.:04:32.

volunteers from the British Red Cross to keep and I on vulnerable

:04:33.:04:41.

customers as the winter strengthens. The gusts are 22 peak at around

:04:42.:04:46.

9:30pm this evening. People are being asked to stay at home and take

:04:47.:04:51.

care. Thank you. Well, that's the situation on the

:04:52.:04:53.

West Coast of Cumbria. But conditions have been deteriorating

:04:54.:04:57.

further inland as well. We can get the latest now from Mark McAlindon

:04:58.:05:01.

in our Carlisle newsroom. What is it like over there? In the

:05:02.:05:05.

last few minutes, dramatic development is on the West Coast

:05:06.:05:08.

Main Line. We had expected that to close between Carlisle and Preston

:05:09.:05:13.

for two hours between 7pm and 9pm. In the last few minutes, virgin has

:05:14.:05:16.

said that the line will be closed and no trains will be operating out

:05:17.:05:21.

of London Euston, which means the whole West Coast Main Line is closed

:05:22.:05:27.

because of the adverse conditions. There are clearly concerns in

:05:28.:05:32.

Cumbria. On the roads, the police are issuing advice about only

:05:33.:05:40.

driving if you have to. Engineers are on stand`by. The Northern power

:05:41.:05:47.

grid has been enticed to say is organised extra engineers and call

:05:48.:05:51.

centre staff to be available tonight. Gusts are respected to be

:05:52.:05:56.

up to 70 mast hour. How bad will it get? Another deep area of low

:05:57.:06:01.

pressure swelling in from the Atlantic, Cumbria bracing itself

:06:02.:06:08.

again. Let us take a look at the picture. This is the next five

:06:09.:06:11.

hours. Letters look at what the weather will do up to midnight

:06:12.:06:15.

tonight the wind will swelling from the south and west, driving in not

:06:16.:06:19.

just a brain but also snow and tonight you will not have to climb

:06:20.:06:25.

very high before that's no `` that snow could accumulate. I will have

:06:26.:06:30.

more in the forecast but it will look very wintry out there with

:06:31.:06:32.

strong winds. Thank you. A killer who stabbed his wife to

:06:33.:06:45.

death in the study of their home after she told him about an affair

:06:46.:06:49.

has been told he faces life in prison. Heather Arthur had been in a

:06:50.:06:53.

relationship with the saxophonist in the jazz band she sang with on

:06:54.:06:57.

Tyneside. When she told her husband, Mark, he stabbed her through the

:06:58.:07:01.

heart. This afternoon, a jury found Arthur guilty of murder. Our News

:07:02.:07:07.

Correspondent Peter Harris reports. Guilty of murder. Mark Arthur was

:07:08.:07:12.

the controlling husband. And when he found out his wife Heather was in a

:07:13.:07:16.

relationship with the sax player in a band she sang with, he killed her.

:07:17.:07:22.

We now know Heather had feared Arthur's reaction. In a series of

:07:23.:07:26.

texts to her lover, Paul Gowland, her concerns were laid bare. Two

:07:27.:07:32.

days before she died, she texted Mr Gowland that she was "shaking with

:07:33.:07:35.

fear" at telling him it was over but that she had "resolved to end it."

:07:36.:07:41.

Next day, she said she was "worried about what he might do." And on her

:07:42.:07:45.

final day alive, she wrote, "Will have to go through his fury and

:07:46.:07:50.

disappointment. I will stand firm." Her fears were tragically

:07:51.:07:58.

appropriate. In the study of their home, Heather Arthur told her

:07:59.:08:00.

husband she had been having an affair and she would be leaving him.

:08:01.:08:06.

At this point, you lost control and stabbed her through the heart. He

:08:07.:08:11.

then left the home and headed to their local GP surgery. Arriving

:08:12.:08:15.

here, still in his boxer shorts, our third burst in on a GP and told them

:08:16.:08:18.

he had hurt his wife would stop he was vague about the details, they

:08:19.:08:25.

phoned the police and they found her body back at the house. In jazz

:08:26.:08:28.

circles, where Heather had revealed her talent as a singer, there was

:08:29.:08:34.

shock. Outside of crying, what can you say? It is a shock for anybody.

:08:35.:08:40.

She spent 30 years of her life with this person and was with `` and was

:08:41.:08:50.

rewarded with being murdered. She was kind, lively, enthusiastic, very

:08:51.:08:53.

well liked by the members of the group. Everybody says that after

:08:54.:08:59.

someone has died. But in Heather 's case, it is true. She really was,

:09:00.:09:02.

she was lovely. Heather and Mark Arthur had moved here from the South

:09:03.:09:06.

of England. They ran an IT firm said to have been struggling. The house

:09:07.:09:12.

had been inherited. Mark Arthur had claimed he was

:09:13.:09:15.

guilty only of manslaughter on the grounds that he had lost control but

:09:16.:09:21.

the jury took just 90 minutes to convict him of murder. He will be

:09:22.:09:24.

sentenced tomorrow but the judge warned him there is only one

:09:25.:09:27.

tendency can pass and that is life in prison. `` there is only one

:09:28.:09:36.

sentence he can pass. Hartlepool Council says more than

:09:37.:09:39.

200 jobs will be secured, and ?1 million a year saved, through a

:09:40.:09:42.

partnership with an information technology company. It's signed a

:09:43.:09:45.

deal with Northgate Public Services to establish a new regional business

:09:46.:09:48.

centre in the town and look after the council's computer needs. The

:09:49.:09:51.

council says some 235 existing staff are planned to move to Hartlepool,

:09:52.:09:54.

mostly from Wynyard Business Centre and there's scope for expansion to

:09:55.:09:58.

300 staff. A Tyneside offshore engineering yard

:09:59.:10:01.

has won a second major order within the space of a few months, creating

:10:02.:10:05.

more than 100 new contract jobs and securing hundreds of existing

:10:06.:10:09.

positions. OGN Group, based at the Hadrian Yard in Wallsend, has been

:10:10.:10:12.

awarded the multi`million`pound contract by a leading international

:10:13.:10:15.

oil and gas operator for the construction of a new process module

:10:16.:10:22.

in the North Sea. A workforce of up to 500 will be employed for the

:10:23.:10:25.

contract, which is expected to last about 16 months.

:10:26.:10:31.

Nearly half a million people in the North East still smoke, despite all

:10:32.:10:36.

the health warnings. And according to the anti`smoking group Fresh,

:10:37.:10:40.

half of them will die prematurely. But if advertising bans, gruesome

:10:41.:10:43.

warnings on cigarette packets and other campaigns fail to turn people

:10:44.:10:46.

off, what will persuade smokers to stub it out for good? Well, perhaps

:10:47.:10:53.

it takes something like this. Sophie McDonnell has been to meet a woman

:10:54.:10:56.

who gave up smoking. But only after she'd been told that the habit has

:10:57.:11:03.

already condemned her to death. Michelle Barthram is 47. If she's

:11:04.:11:06.

lucky, she'll live another 18 months with her husband and daughter at

:11:07.:11:11.

their home in Birtley. Michelle was diagnosed with small cell cancer in

:11:12.:11:15.

her lungs just before Christmas. It's a terminal illness. I will

:11:16.:11:28.

never see grandchildren. It is going to be very hard. I will not see my

:11:29.:11:44.

puppy grow up. Friends, I will never see them again. I am lucky in one

:11:45.:11:48.

respect, I have been given time to say goodbye, get things in order. So

:11:49.:11:54.

I am thankful for that. Michelle used to smoke 20 cigarettes a day,

:11:55.:11:57.

but hasn't touched one since the day she was diagnosed. Her consultant at

:11:58.:12:01.

the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead says people don't realise

:12:02.:12:09.

how quickly cancer spreads. He sees the devastating effects everyday. In

:12:10.:12:15.

Gateshead, we see perhaps 260 new patients with lung cancer every

:12:16.:12:19.

year. We estimate, if there was no smoking and never had been, we would

:12:20.:12:23.

see maybe five or six cases of lung cancer every year. For a patient to

:12:24.:12:30.

receive a diagnosis of lung cancer is a blow and the only way we can

:12:31.:12:36.

get rid of that tragedy is to help people understand the dangers of

:12:37.:12:40.

smoking and to encourage and support them to stop smoking. 11 people die

:12:41.:12:44.

in the North East every day from a smoking`related illness. The

:12:45.:12:46.

anti`smoking organisation Fresh is urging the region's half a million

:12:47.:12:50.

smokers to quit and live longer. But Michelle has a personal message for

:12:51.:12:57.

smokers. Cancer can strike at any age. Any fitness. It does not matter

:12:58.:13:03.

what you do for a living, just be very careful. If you can stop, do it

:13:04.:13:09.

now. There are loads of things to try to stop and save your family

:13:10.:13:17.

going through what mine have got to go through.

:13:18.:13:21.

Well, if you smoke and that story has made you more determined to give

:13:22.:13:27.

up, you can find help and advice on quitting online.

:13:28.:13:39.

More goods went in and out of the Port of Tyne last year than in any

:13:40.:13:43.

other year since 1965. The Port handled more than eight million

:13:44.:13:46.

tonnes of cargo, a 22% increase on 2012, and a record number of

:13:47.:13:49.

passengers on cruise liners. The work meant 54 new jobs at the Port,

:13:50.:13:52.

including a dozen new apprenticeships.

:13:53.:13:56.

A collection of rare and collectable comics, which we featured in

:13:57.:13:59.

Monday's Look North, has been sold at auction in Newcastle for just

:14:00.:14:04.

under ?25,000. The 448 lots, which were from a Darlington collector,

:14:05.:14:06.

included Spider`Man from number one to number 234, X`Men from number one

:14:07.:14:10.

to number 160, plus Green Lantern number one. The highest bid was ?880

:14:11.:14:16.

for the first Viz Comic, which was printed in December 1979.

:14:17.:14:28.

It's something women and men have sought for centuries. And it

:14:29.:14:31.

supports an industry worth billions of pounds. The search for a magic

:14:32.:14:35.

pill or lotion that will stop skin ageing is the Holy Grail of the

:14:36.:14:38.

world of cosmetics. And that search might be over. Researchers at

:14:39.:14:41.

Newcastle University are working on a new product they believe may halt

:14:42.:14:44.

the process. They've discovered that an antioxidant which has never been

:14:45.:14:48.

linked with skin health gives 100% protection against damaging UVA

:14:49.:14:53.

radiation from the sun. Our health reporter, Sharon Barbour, has

:14:54.:15:02.

tonight's Look North report. Every year, millions of pounds is

:15:03.:15:06.

spent on looking younger for longer. But what works and what doesn't?

:15:07.:15:15.

Moisturise in the morning, in the afternoon, before you go to bed. I

:15:16.:15:19.

don't look after mine, it is just natural. Exfoliate twice a week.

:15:20.:15:29.

Drink lots of water. Botox! Across the globe, laboratories and

:15:30.:15:31.

pharmaceutical companies are testing products to slow down the ageing

:15:32.:15:35.

process. But has a North East team of scientists stumbled over

:15:36.:15:37.

something to excite the cosmetics industry? Researchers here in this

:15:38.:15:44.

Newcastle laboratory for dermatological science have been

:15:45.:15:51.

doing their own research and have made and exciting discovery. You

:15:52.:15:55.

have a light bulb moment and think what it. Sometimes the what if comes

:15:56.:16:00.

to nothing and you pick yourself up again. In this instance, it proved

:16:01.:16:05.

to be true. What they have discovered is a new antioxidant. It

:16:06.:16:11.

is called Tiron. It hasn't been tested on humans but it has on rats

:16:12.:16:15.

and, under the microscope, shows a remarkable ability to look after our

:16:16.:16:19.

skin. As we get older, our energy declines, our energy from our

:16:20.:16:25.

biological cell. These free radicals increase, these harmful molecules.

:16:26.:16:34.

Tiron and related chemicals help not only our skin that help our body and

:16:35.:16:41.

reduce the acceleration of that ageing process. As the body ages,

:16:42.:16:45.

its cell life deteriorates and ages, and some things can hasten the

:16:46.:16:48.

ageing and cell`damaging process. The worst offenders are smoking,

:16:49.:16:51.

drinking too much, poor diet and pollution, but worst of all for skin

:16:52.:16:54.

damage is burning under too much sunshine. But antioxidants can

:16:55.:17:01.

prevent that and, having tested those known to work, they believe

:17:02.:17:05.

Tiron is far more effective than any other. It gives 100% protection of

:17:06.:17:13.

the skin against sun and other damage. So you do not have a little

:17:14.:17:22.

pot of green with a little bit of Tiron that you have tried out? No,

:17:23.:17:28.

for one, it is not safe. You cannot do that sort of thing. It has not

:17:29.:17:32.

been tested for safety. Once they are convinced it's safe to use,

:17:33.:17:35.

Tiron could be available within a few years. I think I will order a

:17:36.:17:44.

gallon of that stuff! What about hair loss? There could be some doubt

:17:45.:17:57.

over the Sunderland game? I hope to get some governments and about in a

:17:58.:18:00.

few minutes but I will carry on regardless.

:18:01.:18:02.

Yes, both our Premier League clubs slipped a place without even playing

:18:03.:18:05.

last night. Newcastle can regain eighth spot with victory over Spurs.

:18:06.:18:09.

More on that in a moment. At the wrong end of the table, this late

:18:10.:18:12.

equaliser from Victor Anichebe for West Brom against title contenders

:18:13.:18:14.

Chelsea was responsible for Sunderland slipping back into the

:18:15.:18:17.

bottom three. And, given the home record of tonight's opponents

:18:18.:18:20.

Manchester City, there won't be too many thinking they can climb out

:18:21.:18:23.

again by 10pm. In truth, no`one really expected

:18:24.:18:26.

Sunderland to take any points away from the Etihad Stadium just under

:18:27.:18:29.

two years ago, when goals from Seb Larsson helped them to a 3`1 lead.

:18:30.:18:33.

Two late goals from the home side made it 3`3 but the Black Cats were

:18:34.:18:37.

still the only team to avoid a league defeat there in Man City's

:18:38.:18:40.

title`winning season. After Sunderland's ten men slipped up at

:18:41.:18:43.

home to Hull, though, there's now more pressure to pick up unexpected

:18:44.:18:46.

away points at City, Arsenal and Liverpool, the next three scheduled

:18:47.:18:52.

Premier League matches. You never know how the points you need. We

:18:53.:19:00.

need to get points on the table and then change our home form. While the

:19:01.:19:07.

head coach is looking for a great performance tonight, he also

:19:08.:19:09.

recognises the match's potential significance as a dress rehearsal

:19:10.:19:12.

for next month's League Cup final at Wembley. It will be important for us

:19:13.:19:22.

to see again whether we can compete and be a team that is difficult to

:19:23.:19:29.

play against. If we do well, I am sure we will go into the final with

:19:30.:19:32.

a different attitude because I'm convinced that the mental side is

:19:33.:19:40.

the most important part. Four home wins in a row over City will count

:19:41.:19:43.

for nothing unless the defence holds firm. January signing Santiago

:19:44.:19:46.

Vergini could deputise for the suspended Wes Brown.

:19:47.:19:48.

The goal that means Newcastle also slipped a place last night. Despite

:19:49.:19:52.

the best efforts of former United keeper Steve Harper, Southampton

:19:53.:19:55.

were the 1`0 winners at Hull to leapfrog Newcastle in the Premier

:19:56.:19:57.

League. The Magpies will reclaim eighth with a win tonight, of

:19:58.:20:01.

course, and go into the match looking to end a run of four

:20:02.:20:04.

consecutive home defeats, but shorn of key players. I think our home

:20:05.:20:13.

record has dipped of late. That has coincided with losing a lot of goals

:20:14.:20:16.

out of the team. We have lost 24 goals, forget about assists. We need

:20:17.:20:26.

is their cup `` we need to step up to the plate. We need to score

:20:27.:20:31.

goals. This evening's match with fourth placed Spurs is Alan Pardew's

:20:32.:20:37.

150th in charge. He has done a good job. There is an expectant crowd out

:20:38.:20:43.

there. They demand results. It has not been going for them lately but

:20:44.:20:46.

we do not want this to be the game where they can turn it around.

:20:47.:20:49.

Victory would give Newcastle their first league double of the season. A

:20:50.:20:52.

Loic Remy goal and some brilliant goalkeeping gave United a 1`0 win in

:20:53.:20:55.

the capital last November. Spurs boosted their chances of finishing

:20:56.:20:59.

in a Champions League spot with a 1`0 win against Everton on Sunday.

:21:00.:21:02.

The Londoners have not won at St James' Park in the league for ten

:21:03.:21:06.

years and Newcastle know they will be expected to do their duty by

:21:07.:21:19.

continuing that run. As I feared, Manchester city versus Sunderland

:21:20.:21:22.

has been postponed for public safety reasons. That is because of the bad

:21:23.:21:26.

storms. The West has been hit worse than the East at the moment.

:21:27.:21:29.

Carlisle United have signed former Rangers striker Nacho Novo on a

:21:30.:21:32.

short`term contract, subject to clearance. United manager Graham

:21:33.:21:34.

Kavanagh revealed terms had been agreed with the 34`year`old Spaniard

:21:35.:21:37.

following the Cumbrians' 1`0 win over Bradford, which eased their

:21:38.:21:40.

relegation fears. The only goal came after the Yorkshire side, now

:21:41.:21:43.

without a win in 13 league games, made a hash of clearing a corner and

:21:44.:21:47.

Lee Miller scored with a skillful overhead kick. Carlisle are now

:21:48.:21:50.

three points above the relegation zone.

:21:51.:21:52.

The Durham County Cricket captain Paul Collingwood has joined the

:21:53.:21:55.

England coaching staff for the West Indies tour and World Twenty20 in

:21:56.:21:58.

Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Yorkshire have signed one of the world's best

:21:59.:22:01.

one`day batsmen, the Australian international Aaron Finch. He holds

:22:02.:22:05.

the world record for the highest ever Twenty20 international innings.

:22:06.:22:13.

The Formula One season opens in Australia next month, with Melbourne

:22:14.:22:17.

the first race on the 2014 calendar. With new regulations in place, it's

:22:18.:22:20.

been a busy winter for those whose job it is to get the cars out on the

:22:21.:22:24.

track. But the President of the Marussia team also took the chance

:22:25.:22:28.

to spend some quality time at home in his native Northumberland, as

:22:29.:22:29.

Jeff Brown found out. Yes, it is a glamorous life, even if

:22:30.:22:47.

the testing session in Southern Spain wasn't geared up for

:22:48.:22:52.

sunbathing. So, back home in Corbridge, a chance for Graeme

:22:53.:22:55.

Lowdon to relax and reflect on a remarkable journey. Me and my wife,

:22:56.:23:06.

we set up a racing team in 1996 will stop it seems about 5000 years ago

:23:07.:23:14.

now and that was in need junior formula `` that was in the junior

:23:15.:23:18.

formula. That was so difficult and we got some great support from some

:23:19.:23:21.

companies in the North East which we will never forget that was

:23:22.:23:28.

brilliant. We progressed through the formulas. We raised with several

:23:29.:23:36.

drivers that are now in Formula 1. We saw there was an opportunity to

:23:37.:23:41.

take the team into Formula 1, which is a massive step. It is like taking

:23:42.:23:46.

a non`league team into the champions league and doing it overnight. We

:23:47.:23:53.

saw the opportunity and we got an entry and then the hard work

:23:54.:23:56.

started. Originally with the backing of Richard Branson under the Virgin

:23:57.:23:59.

banner, three years ago the team attracted investment from Russia. As

:24:00.:24:02.

Marussia, drivers Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi took them to tenth

:24:03.:24:05.

place in the Constructors' Championship last year. They're

:24:06.:24:09.

still looking for their first race point, but the harsh world of F1

:24:10.:24:17.

does have its compensations. That is the great thing about Formula 1. We

:24:18.:24:20.

go to all of the exotic places, Monaco and Singapore and there is a

:24:21.:24:28.

lot of show business around Formula 1. It is very hard work. If I had to

:24:29.:24:32.

sum it up in one word, it would be relentless because it is a

:24:33.:24:36.

relentless issued, highly competitive. If you stand still for

:24:37.:24:40.

one minute, you will be going backwards. It will be better, the

:24:41.:24:48.

weather in Monaco than in Manchester. It is gradually getting

:24:49.:24:53.

over to the East now as well. In Newcastle, Wingrove Road was

:24:54.:24:59.

closed for a time of day Jimmy Foale from a roof. The road has just

:25:00.:25:04.

reopened. It looks as though winds will strengthen. That is look at the

:25:05.:25:13.

wind speed is earlier. In the Pennines, the gusts topped out at 84

:25:14.:25:25.

mph. The winds will strengthen, breaching a peak at around 9pm or

:25:26.:25:29.

10pm tonight. There are ample warnings in place tonight but there

:25:30.:25:36.

is also a yellow warning in force for snow as well. That is through

:25:37.:25:39.

this evening and for the early hours of tomorrow as well. That falls on

:25:40.:25:45.

ground above 150 metres, around 450 feet. You don't have to go very high

:25:46.:25:49.

before you can see accumulations of between one centimetre and three

:25:50.:26:01.

centimetres. Around 900 `1000 the, they could be several inches.

:26:02.:26:07.

Temperatures fall to just above freezing, still with the wind

:26:08.:26:14.

buffeting the region, up to 30 mph all night tonight and through the

:26:15.:26:19.

morning rush`hour tomorrow. Through the day tomorrow, things will is for

:26:20.:26:23.

a time. A few wintry showers around but bright spells as well,

:26:24.:26:26.

especially in the north`east through the early part of the day. More

:26:27.:26:32.

wintry weather sets in from the West, a wintry mix. Once again,

:26:33.:26:36.

sleet and snow over the hills was the rain and sleet at lower levels.

:26:37.:26:42.

It will feel colder would be south`westerly winds. They will

:26:43.:26:46.

still drive across the region. It is grey and miserable with plenty more

:26:47.:26:55.

snow over the hills. Let us take a look at the big picture. Things

:26:56.:27:00.

possibly a little, later tomorrow and early on Friday morning but then

:27:01.:27:06.

more stormy weather, another low pressure system swirls in from the

:27:07.:27:10.

Atlantic. Look how tightly packed the isobars are, strong winds more

:27:11.:27:15.

heavy rainfall and more snow potentially on the leading edge of

:27:16.:27:18.

that front on Friday and Saturday. Let us look at what that will mean

:27:19.:27:23.

in terms of detail. In Cumbria, if you wet days, possibly dry on Friday

:27:24.:27:27.

and then very similar in the north`east as well. More wet and

:27:28.:27:31.

wild weather to come. I suppose winter had to come at some

:27:32.:27:41.

time. We'll be back with the latest news at 10pm. Take care. Good night.
