After a fairly wintry-feeling week, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
we are stepping into the second week of spring, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
meteorologically speaking, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
and things will start to feel a bit more spring-like eventually. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
Certainly it is a cold start to this week. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Quite a wintry feel to things still over the next day or so | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
and then we're looking at a spell of pretty wet and windy weather | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
through the middle part of the week | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
before eventually some milder and more settled weather on the cards. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
But before we get there, back to the here and now. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
A cold start to Tuesday with some iciness in the north, | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
a hard frost first thing. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
This band of cloud crosses the country bringing with it some | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
splashes of light rain, a little bit of sleet and hill snow around too. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
But that frontal system fizzles out as it heads towards | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
the south-east during the afternoon. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Staying pretty cold, just 6 to 8 degrees | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
with further wintry showers packing into the north-west. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
And then the weather gets a bit more complicated through | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
the middle part of the week, down to this developing area of | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
low pressure, you can see fairly tight isobars around that system. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
So we are looking at a spell of wet | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
and windy weather as we head through Tuesday night and on into Wednesday. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
But some uncertainty about the exact timing and positioning of the rain. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
It looks like some southern and eastern parts of England, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
in particular, we'll see some heavy rain and some significant snow, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
even to some lower levels perhaps | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
on the northern and western edge of this low-pressure system. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
Not just the wet weather and snow, but also some strong winds. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
It's likely that the strongest of the winds will be | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
across the south-west of England and Wales. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
Severe gales possible here. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Further north and west, we're looking at less windy conditions | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
and a bit more in the way of sunshine | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
for Northern Ireland and for Scotland. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
But certainly, for much of England and Wales, a spell of windy | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
and wet weather through the day on Wednesday. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
But things quieten down as we look through Wednesday night | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
into Thursday and that's all down to the fact that we've got | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
this ridge of higher pressure building in from the Atlantic. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
So that frontal system, that low pressure, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
squeezing away towards the east. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
A warm front heading in, so that's importing with it | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
some milder air as we look towards the end of this week. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
On Thursday, we are likely to see | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
some further wet and windy conditions | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
across parts of Northern Ireland, perhaps into the west of Scotland. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
But for much of the UK, a fairly cloudy, quieter sort of day. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
Still a little bit chilly in the east, | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
but temperatures further west back into double figures once again. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
So we're going to be eventually waving goodbye to the blue colours, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
the colder air mass and we're seeing the milder weather | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
moving in from the Atlantic from a south-westerly direction. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
That means for Friday then, a fairly cloudy story. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
We could still see a front fizzling out | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
mainly across much of the country. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
But perhaps some wet and windy weather towards the north-west. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
Dryer, brighter conditions likely in the south-east and we could | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
see temperatures of 12, perhaps 13 degrees or so to end the week. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
On into Saturday, that high pressure likely to | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
establish itself across much of the country. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
The isobars easing out too, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
so a less windy spell of weather as we look towards the weekend. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Still probably a fair amount of cloud and temperatures | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
a little bit more typical of the time of year, typically around 12. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
We could see 15 degrees or so | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
perhaps in one or two sheltered spots. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
Then looking beyond into next week, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
high pressure does look likely to be established across the country. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
But, most likely that it will be out towards the south-east and that | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
will lead us to draw in this mild flow of south-westerly air. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
A less likely scenario is that high pressure drifts up | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
towards Scandinavia and that would allow a colder feed | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
of easterly air to head in across the UK. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
So a couple of different scenarios, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
but it does look like things will eventually quieten down. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
So a wintry start to the week ahead, and after that spell of wet | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
and windy weather, things will start to turn milder | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
and more settled as we look towards next week. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
So, eventually, a little bit | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
of a taste of something more spring-like. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 |
