:08:01. > :08:03.of the week. There is likely to be patchy rain around. Turning milder
:08:04. > :08:08.but the best of the brightness looks like it will be on Friday morning

:08:49. > :08:54.temporarily filling in again. There will be a widespread frost tonight
:08:55. > :08:58.and we will have some snow on wet surfaces and ice on untreated roads
:08:59. > :09:02.which could be a hazard. Temperatures plummeting 2-3 C, just
:09:03. > :09:08.the odd missed patchy and there. Tomorrow morning, a largely dry day
:09:09. > :09:11.but cloud thickening for the afternoon ahead of a frontal system
