0:00:02 > 0:00:05In the longer term it looks like the weather pattern is going to
0:00:05 > 0:00:07be settling down but it may well be quite a cold theme.
0:00:07 > 0:00:12Wednesday was a day of extremes. Just look at this picture.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16The result of about 100mm of rain
0:00:16 > 0:00:17falling in the hills.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Flood waters here, waters
0:00:19 > 0:00:21of a different kind in East Sussex.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Where with a southerly wind
0:00:22 > 0:00:26and some sunshine we had temperatures of 15 or so.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29By Thursday it's cold air that's causing
0:00:29 > 0:00:31problems across northern Scotland with some snow.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Not just over the hills.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35The worst of that clears away in the morning but wintry showers continue
0:00:35 > 0:00:38in Scotland, Northern Ireland, a few coming into northern England.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Most of the showers across the northern half of the UK where
0:00:40 > 0:00:42it's going to be cold. And not just in Scotland.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Further south those numbers not
0:00:44 > 0:00:46as high as they were on Wednesday
0:00:46 > 0:00:49but it should be largely dry with some sunshine.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52We could see a little rain running in across southernmost
0:00:52 > 0:00:53parts of England overnight.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Not quite sure how far north that's going to get.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Shouldn't amount to much,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59for many those showers in the north-west continue to be
0:00:59 > 0:01:02wintry, especially in the hills and
0:01:02 > 0:01:04with lighter winds and clearer skies
0:01:04 > 0:01:09anywhere from north Wales northwards may have a frost in the countryside.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11So a colder start to Friday.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Not as windy by Friday.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Some sunshine around, wintry showers,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16particularly in the north-west
0:01:16 > 0:01:18of Scotland into Northern Ireland.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20A few rain showers across southern England
0:01:20 > 0:01:22and Wales where there's a bit more cloud.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Temperatures are lower,
0:01:24 > 0:01:288 or 9 and the numbers even lower further north.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31It's colder air that's arriving once again for the weekend.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34That's been a pattern we've seen over a good few weeks.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36It's going to feel chilly this weekend,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38especially when the winds pick up.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And you can see the isobars on the chart there around that
0:01:41 > 0:01:42area of high pressure.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Everything coming in from the north or north-west on Saturday.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And more isobars on the chart as well.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50So we will find stronger winds across the UK blowing
0:01:50 > 0:01:52in some showers.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Again, the showers more likely across the north and west.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Likely to have a mixture of rain, sleet
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and even some snow especially over the hills.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03There will be some sunshine around as well and probably a bit
0:02:03 > 0:02:06more sunshine for some central and eastern areas for a while on Sunday.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09The heavier showers tending to move away.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Bit more cloud coming in from the Atlantic.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16Signs of change perhaps but it is another cold day for many on Sunday.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Perhaps chilly in the evening too.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20The winds start to pick up again briefly,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23we're just going to get some Atlantic influence.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Things are moving very quickly.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Warm front, not much on it.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Cold front, different story.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31This rain can be quite heavy and it will be accompanied by some
0:02:31 > 0:02:35gusty winds that will drive that rain eastwards.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Showers and colder air returning into Scotland,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41northern England and Northern Ireland as well.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44After that rain that moves through fairly quickly we're
0:02:44 > 0:02:47back into something more from the north or north-west.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49So back into sunshine
0:02:49 > 0:02:53and some showers that could be of a wintry flavour.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57As we head further into next week we're going to be
0:02:57 > 0:02:59shaped by an area of high pressure,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01perhaps not quite as round as this
0:03:01 > 0:03:03but in that sort of position.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05We may get some Atlantic winds from
0:03:05 > 0:03:06time to time but on the whole it
0:03:06 > 0:03:08looks like we're going to have more
0:03:08 > 0:03:10of a north or north-westerly wind.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11And we all know what that means,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14it's going to be cold looking further ahead.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17There will be some sunshine as well but still some wintry showers
0:03:17 > 0:03:21and depending on how strong the wind is and how much it
0:03:21 > 0:03:25eases off overnight we could have a frost around that is widespread.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27That's it. Goodbye.
