:06:49. > :06:51.That will disappear and we'll see some fine weather
:06:52. > :06:56.But gradually it will start to turn cloudy as well.
:06:57. > :07:01.Cloud beginning to come in from the North, but I think it

:07:54. > :07:56.frost on the way in role areas and across northern parts. The skies are
:07:57. > :08:07.not clear just yet but they are starting to clear. By the end of the
:08:08. > :08:14.night, those temperatures will tumble across Scotland, maybe as low
:08:15. > :08:18.minus eight. No surprise this time of the year. We do get frost, but
:08:19. > :08:24.this could be even damaging. Tomorrow morning, it is looking
:08:25. > :08:28.sunny for most of us but the wind is light in the sun will be out. A
:08:29. > :08:29.beautiful day on the way. Later
