Progressively through the last few days of 2017, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
the weather will be turning less wintry, but there are now signs | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
that something colder could return | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
through the first part of 2018. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
Friday certainly brought some of us | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
some wintry scenes, but more of us will be | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
getting into mild air as we head through this weekend, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
particularly in the south, something that bit colder | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
holding on towards the north. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
Now, the mild air has been ushered in | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
by a band of rain. As that slides northwards | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
across Scotland during Saturday, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
it could still be cold enough here | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
for some snow over the hills. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
Then we see bright skies and sunshine | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
and then down to the south, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
an area of cloud and rain | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
just flirting with southern England | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
and the Channel Islands. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
Mild here, though - | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
13 in Plymouth, just 3 in Aberdeen. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
Now, Saturday night brings the potential | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
for some stormy weather. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
It doesn't look like much on our chart, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
but the Irish weather service | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
have named this developing area | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
of low pressure Storm Dylan. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
It could bring gales | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
for Northern Ireland and Scotland. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
It could also bring this band of heavy rain | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
with squally winds southwards | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
and eastwards across England | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
and Wales through the first part | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
of New Year's Eve. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
Then we're expecting things to brighten up | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
with some sunshine, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
a scattering of hefty showers | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
and all of us just about into that milder air - | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
6 to 12 degrees. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
If you're planning to celebrate at midnight, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
there's a good chance of having clear skies overhead. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
One or two showers blowing through on the breeze, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
particularly in western areas, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
and that breeze will be quite strong | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
so it may feel a little bit chillier | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
than temperatures of 5 to 9 degrees suggest. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
New Year's Day, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
the weather chart looks like this. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
Quite complex, actually - | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
low pressure to the north, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
another low trying to run its way in | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
towards the south and in between, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
a zone of breezy, yes, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
but fairly bright weather, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
some spells of sunshine. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Windy with rain into northern Scotland, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
still cold enough for snow over the high ground here | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
and also cloud and rain for the Channel Islands | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
and the south of England | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
and temperatures perhaps at this stage | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
just a couple of degrees down | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
at 4 to 10 degrees. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Now, into Tuesday, | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
things are likely to start off fine and dry, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
but our next Atlantic frontal system pushes in. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Outbreaks of rain, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
increasingly strong winds | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
and that is the theme for the start of the week - | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
things chopping and changing, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
quiet spells and then wet and windy spells | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
following in quick succession, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
all being pushed along very quickly | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
by areas of low pressure. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
Quite a deep low likely to be moving its way | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
across the north of the British Isles on Wednesday. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
That could bring gales, bands of rain, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
followed on by showers. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Still cold enough for those showers to be wintry | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
over high ground in the north | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
with some spells of sunshine in between. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
So, the theme during next week | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
is a strong jet stream, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
the winds high up in the atmosphere | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
really energising the weather systems | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
and pushing them through quickly, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
but there are signs of a change later next week. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
We're expecting some cold air | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
to dive its way out of Canada across the Atlantic | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
and that will have the effect | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
of turning the jet stream a little bit bendier, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
more kinks in the jet stream. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
Now, what that means | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
is that our weather pattern | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
may slow down a little bit | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
so while there will still be areas of low pressure | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
close to the scene, there's a bit more chance | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
that high pressure will have an influence | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
as we go into next weekend. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Low pressure still close by | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
and that's likely to bring us | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
a generally north or north-westerly wind. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
What does all that mean? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
Well, longer dry spells are likely into next weekend, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
albeit with some further rain and perhaps some snow | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
with things expected to turn colder. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
That's all from me. Bye for now. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 |
