:07:34. > :07:37.It feels freezing today but it is not as cold as it was yesterday. A
:07:38. > :07:41.lot of cloud around this afternoon and another very chilly afternoon to
:07:42. > :07:46.come, temperatures set to climb over the weekend. Rain is expected
:07:47. > :07:50.overnight so tomorrow is less cold. As we work into the early part of
:07:51. > :07:56.February, we are looking at milder conditions but also unsettled as
:07:57. > :08:01.well. As we go we have got cloud out there, some breaks across the
:08:02. > :08:06.Yorkshire Dales, and perhaps some along the east coast but this
:08:07. > :08:12.afternoon it will be grey across the Pennines, mist elsewhere. It will
:08:13. > :08:15.feel damp out there although I do not think there will be any real
:08:16. > :08:22.rain to speak. Temperatures getting up to around two or three degrees.
:08:23. > :08:31.Still feeling pretty cold. Through this evening and overnight, we are
:08:32. > :08:38.expecting some name, it will not be as -- some rain, not as cold as last
:08:39. > :08:43.night. Any early cloud and rain will move away eastwards, it might take
:08:44. > :08:47.time to the Far East but elsewhere we should see some sunny spells and
:08:48. > :08:52.three showers sprinkled across the Pennines, and temperatures in the
:08:53. > :08:56.high of six or seven. The odd wintry sharp perhaps.
