Welcome to Weather for the Week Ahead where we look further | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
afield and I can give you an early insight into what may well | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
happen towards Christmas. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
Before that we closed out our wintry week on a cold | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
note but with some sunshine. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
Most of the showers were across the far north-east | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
and that made it feel bitter if you were caught in the showers. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
Here's a beautiful picture, pretty dramatic | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
but I'm sure it didn't feel very pleasant if you were out and about. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
The cold air stays with us | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
for one more day before we start to see a change. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
A milder south-westerly flow driving in across the country. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
That is going to bring milder weather but unfortunately it | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
will bring wetter weather for the second half of the weekend. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
Before that it's a cold and frosty start for most of us on Saturday. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
The exception Northern Ireland north-west England, Wales | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
and eventually into the south-west. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
A rah of showers making it feel a little disappointing here. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
Despite that frost temperatures will struggle with some decent | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
spells of sunshine. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
Two or three degrees across central and eastern areas, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
with the cloud and the showers, six to eight. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
The change arrives through Saturday night into Sunday morning. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
This front will push in from the west. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
The wind direction changes, a west or a south-westerly. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
A milder and wetter source. It's bringing in some rain, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
some of it heavy for a time through Northern Ireland, Scotland, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
north-west England and Wales and gradually that will move to | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
all parts through parts of Sunday but milder with it. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
7-11. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
That marks the change as we go into the early half of next week. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:33 | |
It will be predominantly dry, mild for most of us | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
but there's going to be a lot of cloud around. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
Don't expect too much in the way of sunshine. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
On Monday perhaps the best of the sunshine will be across central | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
and eastern areas and with clearer skies through the night | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
it will be a chillier day. Six degrees here. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
We'll see more cloud out to the west. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
The winds increasing, a bit more breeze through the north-west | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
and the arrival of another weather front trying to | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
push in from the north-west all the time. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
That will introduce a few scattered showers across Scotland | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
and Northern Ireland. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Elsewhere it's a cloudy but dry story, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
9-12 the high on Tuesday afternoon. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
Into Wednesday our weather front, a very weak affair, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
slicing its way down through the country. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Behind it bright and breezy, 10-11. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Down to the south, cloudy with highs of 12. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
To the early half of this week this is the weather story. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
We have this area of high pressure to the south. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
The jet stream at the moment really to the north of the UK. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
That's allowing this mild south-westerly flow to develop. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
Deflecting the lows into the north-west, the extreme north-west | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
so quite a quiet story but a cloudy story with this moist cloudy flow. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
As we go into the end of the week one computer model | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
suggests that the jet stream dips down to the south again | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
and when we're to the north of the jet stream that allows | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
the north-westerly flow which means as we head to the Christmas | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
period it could turn pretty cold. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
However that is only one model. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
The favoured suggestion is for this north south divide to stay | 0:03:02 | 0:03:08 | |
with us with high pressure down towards the south | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
and the jet stream deflecting these lows across to the north. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Still a lot to play for. Still a lot of uncertainty. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
At the moment it does look as though we start the week ahead mainly mild. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
There will possibly be a brief cold spell | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
and then likely to revert back to a north south split. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
We'll firm up on that over the weekend. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 |
