It's time to have a look at the weather over the next few days.

0:00:020:00:05

So we'll start with the short term,

0:00:050:00:06

and the weekend so far actually hasn't been too bad.

0:00:060:00:09

It's not exactly been clear blue skies everywhere but we

0:00:090:00:12

managed to get temperatures up to 18 degrees in the south-east.

0:00:120:00:16

And Northern Ireland, actually, had its warmest day of the year so far.

0:00:160:00:20

Slightly different story come Sunday -

0:00:200:00:22

weather fronts are crossing the UK.

0:00:220:00:24

That's going to introduce yet more cloud across the country

0:00:240:00:27

and there will be some rain too.

0:00:270:00:29

And for some of us, actually, a bit of a wet morning on the way,

0:00:290:00:31

particularly the south-east, into the London area,

0:00:310:00:34

East Anglia, Lincolnshire.

0:00:340:00:35

But then look at that - there's a break in the cloud,

0:00:350:00:37

so you'll probably get some sunshine at lunchtime through here.

0:00:370:00:40

Then we get another line of cloud and some spots of rain,

0:00:400:00:43

and then behind that we've got more sunshine again.

0:00:430:00:45

So it's a bit like a zebra, really - you've got rain,

0:00:450:00:48

some sunshine, some rain and then sunshine again.

0:00:480:00:50

So I think the best way to summarise Sunday is it's going to be

0:00:500:00:53

a bit of a changeable picture.

0:00:530:00:55

But this is a cold front that's moving slowly across the UK

0:00:550:00:58

during the course of Sunday evening into Monday.

0:00:580:01:01

The skies temporarily clear and there is a chance of a little bit

0:01:010:01:04

of frost, I think, around on Monday morning.

0:01:040:01:06

These are the city temperatures.

0:01:060:01:08

In rural spots, as always, it's going to be a little bit colder.

0:01:080:01:11

So maybe a nippy start first thing on Monday.

0:01:110:01:13

Now, big high pressure across this portion of the Atlantic here.

0:01:130:01:16

It is going to be influencing our weather just about,

0:01:160:01:19

maybe the far north of Scotland here in the north-west

0:01:190:01:22

being clipped by a little bit more cloud, maybe windier weather,

0:01:220:01:25

but generally speaking Monday is actually

0:01:250:01:28

mostly a dry day for the UK.

0:01:280:01:30

Sunshine for London, for Birmingham,

0:01:300:01:32

Hull, Newcastle not doing bad at all.

0:01:320:01:34

But as I said, the Western Isles, there, a little bit more cloud.

0:01:340:01:37

I'm going to change gear a little bit now and talk about

0:01:370:01:39

what's going on the other side of the planet across the US.

0:01:390:01:41

Now, this is very cold air coming out of Canada.

0:01:410:01:44

This is warmer air from the tropics. See these little swirls here?

0:01:440:01:46

These are storms that have been developing just off

0:01:460:01:49

the north-east of the United States.

0:01:490:01:51

We've got a really nasty one heading to the north-east

0:01:510:01:54

of New York State, New England come Tuesday.

0:01:540:01:57

Even some snow to come for New York.

0:01:570:01:59

And already there's one out there right now,

0:01:590:02:01

and by this stage, by Tuesday, it's out in the north Atlantic.

0:02:010:02:04

So we've got a series of storms brewing off the eastern seaboard

0:02:040:02:08

of the US and they are to an extent affecting our weather as well.

0:02:080:02:12

Initially it looks as though they're going to shunt some milder air

0:02:120:02:15

in our direction. So, this is Tuesday.

0:02:150:02:17

You can see the teens across most of the UK.

0:02:170:02:19

Here is that low on Wednesday.

0:02:190:02:21

So the snowy one I mentioned across New York...

0:02:210:02:24

Let me just get out of the way. Here it is here.

0:02:240:02:26

That's one that would have formed earlier.

0:02:260:02:28

Most of them are tracking to the north,

0:02:280:02:30

way to the north of our neighbourhood.

0:02:300:02:31

Just about clipping, I think, the Western Isles here,

0:02:310:02:34

so some spots of rain. But to the south of them,

0:02:340:02:37

we've got those milder south-westerlies and some sunshine.

0:02:370:02:40

So this is where the good weather is.

0:02:400:02:42

Now, there is an indication that as we head towards the second half

0:02:420:02:45

of the week, some of these lows will be making their journey

0:02:450:02:49

across the Atlantic and may be affecting us as well to an extent.

0:02:490:02:52

What does that mean?

0:02:520:02:53

The winds will probably increase and we'll see

0:02:530:02:56

slightly cooler air heading our way.

0:02:560:02:58

So, a succession of lows lining up there in the Atlantic,

0:02:580:03:01

and then by the end of the week, behind them,

0:03:010:03:03

what follows them will be slightly fresher air, colder air in fact,

0:03:030:03:06

and then we'll see the high-pressure that's dominating our weather

0:03:060:03:09

right now slipping away towards the south.

0:03:090:03:12

So I think further ahead,

0:03:120:03:14

staying unsettled in the north of the country,

0:03:140:03:17

dryer in the south and then we've got that cooler weather

0:03:170:03:20

coming in behind those weather systems.

0:03:200:03:22

So this is more of a summary of what's heading our way

0:03:220:03:25

in the next few days. Thanks for watching.
