:22:52. > :22:58.forward to hearing from you again at the end of the programme. Thank you.
:22:59. > :23:02.And before that let us get the weather forecast. There has been
:23:03. > :23:07.hailstorms, sleet, snow, freezing cold, so where better to put David
:23:08. > :23:12.Dunn on the roof? I am not coming up here again, it is
:23:13. > :23:18.freezing, but a smashing view. We are up on the roof. A lovely view of
:23:19. > :23:23.Plymouth Sound. Good visibility today. Visibility has been excellent
:23:24. > :23:27.because of the Arctic area, the clean air, not just here, but all
:23:28. > :23:34.around the course of Devon we have had good views.
:23:35. > :23:40.You can see the show workload in the distance. There have been showers,
:23:41. > :23:45.not every where, but some have been intense. Over high ground they have
:23:46. > :23:48.been falling as sleet, maybe even snow.
:23:49. > :23:54.We had some sunshine and Plymouth. The showers only turning up this
:23:55. > :23:59.afternoon. There is one behind the camera man that looks like it'll had
:24:00. > :24:05.our way. Let us look at what is happening the next 24-hour is. We
:24:06. > :24:09.have had some good temperatures. Thomas has been the warmest place in
:24:10. > :24:14.the country today with 12 degrees. Elsewhere, temperatures no more than
:24:15. > :24:19.or 9 degrees. The other thing is just who clean the air is. These are
:24:20. > :24:23.the visibility is that we have seen today, well over 30 kilometres for
:24:24. > :24:29.most of our locations, and that fine clear area continues, but it also
:24:30. > :24:33.brings the risk of wintry showers. This is Exmoor from earlier. They
:24:34. > :24:38.fear a dusting of snow. Tomorrow, there will be more frost overnight.
:24:39. > :24:44.There will be showers. Hopefully sunshine in between. Like we have
:24:45. > :24:48.seen today. Hopefully it will feel a that is warmer. You can see the
:24:49. > :24:53.extent of the cloud, it is speckled cloud, and that is the show workload
:24:54. > :24:56.that we are seeing this evening. The area of high pressure is in the
:24:57. > :25:01.middle of the Atlantic, northerly winds tonight and tomorrow morning.
:25:02. > :25:05.Relatively cold wind until later in the week. Then we start to see a
:25:06. > :25:10.change to milder air. There is the satellite picture in more detail.
:25:11. > :25:16.More to come overnight. That will feed away in the second half of the
:25:17. > :25:24.night. Still -- overnight temperatures close to freezing.
:25:25. > :25:28.Tomorrow a chance of a shower, and a chance of good sunshine to enjoy.
:25:29. > :25:37.Along the course we will see the best of the temperatures, nine, ten,
:25:38. > :25:38.even 11 or 12. Largely dry conditions. The chance of if you
:25:39. > :25:55.passing showers. Winds are from the north or
:25:56. > :26:01.north-west. Can I come inside no, please?
:26:02. > :26:04.Go on, then. Thank you. And thank you for joining all of us on
:26:05. > :26:21.Spotlight tonight. And no, here is Izzie Anson, to play
:26:22. > :26:34.as oats with her song Storms. -- to play as out.
:26:35. > :26:40.# I can see why you would just walk away
:26:41. > :26:47.# You said that you don't need me, baby
:26:48. > :26:57.# But you never leave me # You will always stay
:26:58. > :27:12.# I have no reason to love you, baby # But when I close my eyes your
:27:13. > :27:19.voice # Always a strange, strange thing,
:27:20. > :27:31.to fall in love with someone who doesn't know what love is
:27:32. > :27:45.# I never thought I would understand but now I know why storms are named
:27:46. > :27:49.after men #.
