:04:41. > :04:47.Well, that's it from me, the national weather forecast
:04:48. > :04:50.shortly, but first let's get the picture in the south-east
:04:51. > :05:01.Good evening. It was a very cold this morning. We have had plenty of
:05:02. > :05:06.sunshine throughout the day and that will change through the night and
:05:07. > :05:11.for the next few days as Falkirk becomes an issue. The Met office
:05:12. > :05:17.have eschewed the weather warning -- as the Falkirk becomes an issue.
:05:18. > :05:21.Through the night and we will see clear skies at first and
:05:22. > :05:25.temperatures will fall away but as the fog starts to develop the hover
:05:26. > :05:32.around freezing first thing tomorrow. A murky start and much of
:05:33. > :05:38.that mist and fog is quite stubborn, taking until around lunchtime and
:05:39. > :05:45.then it lets into low cloud. A grey afternoon. Temperature is similar to
:05:46. > :05:51.today. Things are very settled at the moment and we stick with the dry
:05:52. > :05:55.weather with high round but that fog reforms on Wednesday night so
:05:56. > :06:00.Thursday will again be quite difficult for travelling first thing
:06:01. > :06:06.and will lead to a cloudy and cold day. The outlook shows
:06:07. > :06:12.Good evening. It's a wintry night out there. Temperatures as low as
:06:13. > :06:16.minus three in one or two places already. For some of us the frost
:06:17. > :06:25.never shifted all day long. This shot was taken in Somerset. Tonight,
:06:26. > :06:30.some frost free places in Scotland. Fog will develop as we work through
:06:31. > :06:33.the night. It becomes wide spread. That's the issue in the morning,
:06:34. > :06:38.disruption certainly possible with a lot of people on the move. Check out
:06:39. > :06:44.local radio stations for the latest updates. Warnings in force from the
:06:45. > :06:46.Met Office. Parts of south-west Wales and England seeing early
:06:47. > :06:50.sunshine. Generally a lot of freezing fog around, which will be
:06:51. > :06:54.hard to shift through the day, as we'll see in a moment. The odd
:06:55. > :06:57.pocket of frost further north. Temperatures higher in Northern
:06:58. > :06:59.Ireland and Scotland. Drizzly rain across the western Highlands.
