Come the weekend, some of us may be experiencing | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
a different side to winter. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
Over the last 24 hours or so, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
it's the wild and windy weather, courtesy of Storm Imogen, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
which has dominated the weather story. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
You weather watchers have sent in | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
your pictures - dramatic seas | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
crashing onto the coastline. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
Inland, some significant damage - | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
felled trees and power cuts. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
Compare that with tranquil conditions | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
across the heart of Scotland, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
this picture taken from the Trossachs. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
That's because the heart of Scotland | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
was in the eye of the storm. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
The strongest winds were to the south. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
Imogen is now moving out of the way, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
taking the strongest of the winds with her, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
still quite blustery as we go through Tuesday, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
especially across some south-western areas, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
but not the really strong, damaging winds | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
you saw on Monday - good news, isn't it? | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
Some sunshine to be had | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
with a wetter zone in the middle, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
and some mountain snow. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
Some wintry showers | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
across the Highlands of Scotland, too, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
but through the central belt, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
plenty of sunshine, nice day. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
Temperatures 6 or 7 degrees. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
This is 3 o'clock in the afternoon. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
Rain across Northern Ireland and southern Scotland | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
will drift its way southwards, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
through parts of north-west England and Wales. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
Some snow over high ground, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:07 | |
but shouldn't cause too many issues. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
Some sunshine further south - | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
as I said, the winds nothing like | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
as strong as they were on Monday. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
Still quite blustery, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
and those winds will carry some showers | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
into south-western areas in particular. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Cold in that wind, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:19 | |
temperatures just 4, 5, 6 degrees. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Chilly start to Wednesday, some frost, some ice around | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
across northern areas in particular. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Wednesday actually looks like a nice day. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
Many of us will be dry and bright, with some sunshine. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Some wintry showers across the far north-east | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
and some showers across the far south-west, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
but in-between, as I say, mostly fine and dry. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
As we look towards the end of the week, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
we look to the west, the next area of low pressure. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
This is no Imogen, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
not the damaging winds which we've seen, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
but still the prospect of a wet end to the week, | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
initially across the more south-western areas, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
how quickly that rain progresses across other areas | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
is still quite uncertain, but it looks like Friday | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
will be a cloudy day with a greater prospect of rain | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
compared with Thursday. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
Here's a snapshot for Friday - | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
don't take its position too literally. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
It could be further north, it could be further south, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
but it looks like the best chance of staying dry | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
is across northern parts of the UK. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
None too warm, mind you - | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
a nagging easterly wind developing | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
and that will be a theme as we hit the weekend. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
No sooner do we lose one area of low pressure | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
that another one looks like coming | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
to take its place - again, | 0:02:15 | 0:02:16 | |
it's the more southern parts of the UK | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
most likely to see the persistent rain, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
whereas further north again will be drier | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
but once more, that chilly wind. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
That is really the set-up through this weekend. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
We will have low pressure, bringing outbreaks of rain, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
most likely to the southern areas, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
whereas further north will have relatively higher pressure | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
and lengthier dry spells. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
It's also the dividing line | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
between relatively cold air to the north, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
relatively mild air to the south. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
Now, that's important, because at the dividing line, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
we have got a bit of a knife edge. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
Inject moisture into that | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
and there is the potential for rain to turn to snow. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
There's a very real possibility | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
through this weekend of some snow. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
The question is, where? | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
The location of the highest snow risk | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
is still unclear, because the computer models | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
are toing and froing with this | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
and they won't firm up for another couple of days, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
but watch this space. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
As we look into early next week, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
it does look as if cold air will dominate, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
deflecting the jet stream to the south | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
and that means taking most of the rain | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
and snow-bearing weather systems with it. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
So probably a largely dry start next week, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
some fine, crisp weather, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
some frost around. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
How long it lasts before the jet stream powers through | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
and brings a return to mild, wet and windy weather | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
from the west is still uncertain. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
I'll hope to shed some more light | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
as I see you again tomorrow. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 |
