:04:08.:04:09.

Good evening. It's another cold night on the way tonight. It looks

to clear through the morning and some patches could last all day.

southern parts of the UK. There are warnings in force with some patches

:05:38.:05:41.

of fog elsewhere, too. A cold one, needless to say. Some places already

:05:42.:05:46.

well below freezing. Where you have cloud cover, hovering just above.

:05:47.:05:51.

Some showers around, too, coming out of the cloud. So ice around first
