:04:09. > :04:12.This is the first tangle of weather fronts that's
:04:13. > :04:15.Through the day tomorrow, you can see lots of low
:04:16. > :04:17.pressure systems stacking up in the Atlantic

:05:18. > :05:21.weather, it certainly felt a lot better for you today, at least
:05:22. > :05:24.across the southern half of the UK. Still pretty chilly in northern
:05:25. > :05:29.areas, even some sleet. When we see this transition from one type of
:05:30. > :05:33.weather to another, we get a lot of variable weather. That's what we've
:05:34. > :05:36.had today that is what is on the way tomorrow. Sunshine and showers
:05:37. > :05:45.today, and tomorrow will be quite a mix as well. Lots of clouds in the
:05:46. > :05:48.Atlantic ready to come our way. The short term, just bits and spots of
:05:49. > :05:52.rain in the western areas, some rain in the North least. Cold enough for
