Hello there. I'll come clean at the outset. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
I think most of us dreaming of a White Christmas | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
will ultimately be disappointed but perhaps not all of us. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
A lot of fast moving changes in the days ahead. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Certainly some wind and some rain. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
It will eventually turn a little bit chillier as well. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
Most of the rain first thing in the morning across Northern Ireland | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
and Scotland. Some pretty wet weather to start the day. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
Some strong winds, too. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
That will be heading down towards the more southern and eastern areas. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
As a rule, if you start sunny, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:27 | |
you'll turn wet. If you start wet, you'll turn sunny again. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
For Northern Ireland, Scotland, the more north-western parts | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
of England and Wales, things cheering up. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
Another mild day, despite the wind and rain across the south and east. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
That set of fronts clears away, only to be followed by another | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
set of fronts. They look quite complicated, don't they? | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
What they really mean is a lot of heavy rain and some pretty strong | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
winds, particularly across parts of north-west England, north-west Wales. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Warnings are in force for several hours of heavy rain here. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
Ahead of that, a very mild day. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
Up into the mid teens yet again, in the London area. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
Behind this set of fronts, although it brightens up, it will cool down. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Eight or nine. A bit of a transformation by Wednesday. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
The fronts are out of the way. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
A lot of sunshine for a time, bright and breezy. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Some showers across more north-western areas. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
Cold enough for snow, over the highest ground of Scotland. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Seven or eight here, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:16 | |
but still technically quite mild across the South East. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
And then, all eyes on a developing area of low pressure. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
It looks like spinning itself up and heading towards the far North West | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
and within its circulation, we could see some really strong winds. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
Severe gales possible. So we will keep a very close eye on that. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
The rain will then be heading down across the country | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
later on in the day. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
So, a lot going on for Christmas Eve. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
If you are on the move, keep an eye on the forecast. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
Mild again to the south-east of that front. Chillier to the north-west. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
The showers could well be turning to snow across the high ground | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
of Scotland, maybe Northern Ireland and northern England, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
as we head into Christmas Day. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
So, technically, perhaps a white Christmas for a few. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
As we get into Christmas Day, we are in the chillier air then. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
The question mark is how long that chillier air lasts. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Certainly, for most of us, it'll be a cold, crisp start to the day. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
There could be a touch of frost where you are. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
And then we are going to see the warm air trying to push back in | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
from the South West. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
There's a lot of uncertainty in the computer models | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
about how quickly that happens | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
but it does look as if eventually it will turn milder across the far | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
South West and in the process, we will see some wet weather turning up. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Now that would be trying to push its way further northwards | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
and eastwards. After a bright, crisp start, it will cloud over | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
and feel quite raw for most places on Christmas Day, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
before, as I say, those temperatures recover across the far South West. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Into Boxing Day then and that milder air does push its way further | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
northwards to most of us but perhaps the far north of Scotland | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
holding onto the cold air for much of the day, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
so here, a raw feeling day - perhaps on Boxing Day, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
as opposed to the milder weather further south. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
It will be drier, 10-12, underneath the rain clouds with perhaps | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
some snow, especially on the high ground of northern Scotland. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
Just 5 or 6 degrees here. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
Now into Sunday and the following week, it looks as if broadly, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
we will have low pressure to the West, higher pressure to the East. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
A run of southerly winds, quite gusty southerly winds as well. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
So to sum up next week, we think it will turn milder again. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Quite dry, at least for a time particularly in the East, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
closer to the high pressure. Gusty winds and then as that low pressure | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
tries to edge in from the West, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
the greatest chance of rain is across western parts of the UK. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
Keep an eye on the forecast. It will be changing day by day. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Tom Schafernaker will update you tomorrow. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
