. Hello there, what a week it has been so far, we've had some real | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
contrasting weather conditions, cold and frosty on Monday, mild and wet | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
on Tuesday, snow to come for Wednesday. All due to an undulating | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
jet stream that we've got across the country at the moment and, with that | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
under legislation, brings a real contrast, a flip-flop, with the feel | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
of the weather. So Monday we had cold air across the country. By | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Tuesday, the milder air arrived but brought rain with it as well, some | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
of it heavy. Before Wednesday, the cold air digs deep. And this time | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
it's going to stay for a while. It's also responsible for a named storm | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
by the Irish Met Office, pushing south and west. It will bring gales | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
to the extreme south-west but we're more concerned about the snow | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
showers moving out of the north of England, across Wales, into the | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Midlands. Wet snow and sleet, perhaps, as it pushes south and | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
east. Hind it, though, still a cluster of snow showers to come, | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
even at lower levels a cold feel to the day, highs of 5-9 degrees. As we | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
move out of Wednesday, the showers will gradually start to ease away | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
and Thursday looks a slightly quieter day, with lighter winds. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Hopefully we should see a dryer scenario. And it will feel just that | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
little bit better as well, with some sunshine coming through, showers few | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
and far between and temperatures up as high as 5-9 degrees. But it all | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
changes again as we move into Friday and there's a level of uncertainty, | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
as this weather front pushes in as to how much rain and potential snow | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
we could see across the north of England and then it will pivot its | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
way south and east. Now, just where that frontal system tends toe lie is | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
still open to question so keep watching the forecast. But there is | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
a risk, particularly across higher ground, of yet more snow and again | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
still quite a cold feel to the day as the front sinks south and east | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
yet again. The start of the weekend, I'm pleased to say, back to a | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
quieter theme. The isobars open up, still in a vertical position so | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
still a northerly wind direction the source. It will still feel pretty | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
chilly but showers mostly to the coast, still a wintry mix in there, | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
and hopefully a bit of sunshine building as well, highs again around | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
5-8 degrees. We have this undulatnion in the jet stream | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
allowing the area of high pressure to build in the west as we move out | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
of the weekend and into next week. So there is the potential, then, | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
into Sunday, for the high pressure to build, a weather front just | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
brushing into the far north and west and it may well sink south and bring | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
showers with it but once that is out of the way, things will still cold | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
but relatively quiet. For the early half of next week we have this high | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
down towards the south-west. Indications are that's going to | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
continue to drag in this colder feel for the first week or so of March. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
The high drifts steadily south and potentially later on next week, lows | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
could develop and move in from the north-west, turning things a little | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
more unsettled. So, the opening half of March, pretty chilly. Yes, | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
widespread frost, may be even some wintry showers continuing. I know | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
what you are thinking, you want scenes like this really with spring | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
lambs and some lovely sunshine. All together now, "Ah", but the question | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
is, are we going to get it? And for those who have worked it out, yes, | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
it has been one of the wildest winters on record, but, as you can | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
see, January was colder than December, February colder than | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
January and the early half of March, so far, looks pretty chilly indeed. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
That is not my problem for tomorrow. | :03:29. | :03:31. |
