There's a lot happening over the next 48 hours,

0:00:020:00:04

so we are going to concentrate on that period quite a bit,

0:00:040:00:07

and then just a flavour of what we can expect in the next week or so.

0:00:070:00:12

A fair bit of snow around,

0:00:120:00:13

certainly Scotland, Northern Ireland,

0:00:130:00:16

parts of Wales and the Midlands,

0:00:160:00:18

but the snow showers

0:00:180:00:20

fell in distinct areas.

0:00:200:00:21

We saw these streaks of snow showers

0:00:210:00:23

moving in from the northwest

0:00:230:00:26

so some of us had snow,

0:00:260:00:28

others had nothing but clear blue skies

0:00:280:00:30

during the course of the day,

0:00:300:00:32

so there have been some big contrasts in the weather

0:00:320:00:35

during Friday.

0:00:350:00:37

Through the night,

0:00:370:00:38

we can expect some more showers

0:00:380:00:40

across Wales, possibly Northern Ireland,

0:00:400:00:42

but northern parts of Scotland,

0:00:420:00:44

where the wind is blowing hard,

0:00:440:00:46

so across the hills we are talking about blizzards.

0:00:460:00:49

It'll be cold. In rural spots,

0:00:490:00:50

it might dip to minus 5, minus 8,

0:00:500:00:53

so tomorrow - an ice risk across many

0:00:530:00:56

northern and western areas,

0:00:560:00:59

other than that, it's sunshine from the word go

0:00:590:01:01

for many, and it is going to be a cold day.

0:01:010:01:04

It'll feel as if it's below freezing

0:01:040:01:06

right across the country,

0:01:060:01:07

but there will be snow showers around

0:01:070:01:10

in parts of Wales, northwest England.

0:01:100:01:12

Places like Liverpool, maybe Manchester

0:01:120:01:15

catching a few flakes of snow.

0:01:150:01:17

Now the interesting period.

0:01:170:01:19

Through Saturday night -

0:01:190:01:21

a lot of cold air, a widespread frost,

0:01:210:01:23

a new, fresh weather front bumps into that cold air

0:01:230:01:26

and look what happens - snow across Ireland,

0:01:260:01:29

Northern Ireland, Wales, the Midlands,

0:01:290:01:31

East Anglia, northern England.

0:01:310:01:33

In fact, many of us waking up

0:01:330:01:35

to a significant covering of snow

0:01:350:01:37

first thing on Sunday.

0:01:370:01:39

A good job it's not happening during the week,

0:01:390:01:42

working week, at the rush hour,

0:01:420:01:44

because that would be very disruptive snow.

0:01:440:01:46

By the time we get to Sunday afternoon,

0:01:460:01:49

that snow will be petering out across northern parts.

0:01:490:01:52

To the south, it'll be very windy, gale-force winds,

0:01:520:01:55

and a lot milder, thanks to this low pressure

0:01:550:01:58

moving away. One moves away,

0:01:580:02:00

and then, Monday, another low pressure,

0:02:000:02:02

potentially a storm,

0:02:020:02:04

impacts France, and to the north of that,

0:02:040:02:07

there could be some snow

0:02:070:02:09

falling across more southern parts,

0:02:090:02:11

possibly nudging into the London area,

0:02:110:02:14

but this will be very transient snow.

0:02:140:02:16

It's not going to last for very long.

0:02:160:02:18

It might last for a couple of hours and then move away

0:02:180:02:21

with the low pressure pushing out into the Continent.

0:02:210:02:24

One low moves away

0:02:240:02:26

and we're in this ridge of high pressure,

0:02:260:02:29

so Tuesday is expected to be a quieter day,

0:02:290:02:32

still pretty cold, might be milder across the far southwest,

0:02:320:02:36

but lots of sunshine, certainly starting frosty,

0:02:360:02:39

then sun during the afternoon.

0:02:390:02:41

Wednesday - looks like we're picking up more south-westerly winds,

0:02:410:02:45

there could be weather fronts bringing rainfall to western areas,

0:02:450:02:48

and it'll turn less cold,

0:02:480:02:50

possibly back up to double figures

0:02:500:02:52

by the time we get to the middle part of the week.

0:02:520:02:55

11 degrees in Plymouth. If you

0:02:550:02:57

were watching this time yesterday,

0:02:570:02:59

the thinking was that the colder air

0:02:590:03:02

is going to win and stick around.

0:03:020:03:04

It looks as though the jet stream

0:03:040:03:06

is going to be pushing milder air

0:03:060:03:08

in our direction later next week.

0:03:080:03:10

So that snow risk is going to be

0:03:100:03:13

less through next week,

0:03:130:03:15

as it turns colder, and more than anything,

0:03:150:03:18

it's going to be spells of rain and wind,

0:03:180:03:21

so over the weekend, next 48 hours or so,

0:03:210:03:24

we are going to get snow,

0:03:240:03:26

and then things calm down.
