Hello. After our stormy, unsettled start to 2018, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
the weather's been turning quieter and colder | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
over the past 24 hours, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
and that theme should continue | 0:00:08 | 0:00:09 | |
into the weekend. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
We've already seen snow - this is the hills over Staffordshire - | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
but this is nothing compared to what's happening | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
the other side of the Atlantic. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
Here's how it's looking in Boston at the moment. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
Some parts of the northeast US | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
have seen up to 18 inches of snowfall, that's 46cm, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
and this storm system that deepened very rapidly | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
has bringing not only a lot of heavy snow, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
heavy rain and really strong winds, | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
so explosive cyclogenesis that we've seen, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
the rapid deepening of this system, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
which is now drifting its way further northwards, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
and that low pressure will head up towards Greenland. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
It's not moving its way across the Atlantic - | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
we've got high pressure building across our shores, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
and as that high pressure builds across northern parts, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
we'll be importing this cold air | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
from a north or north-easterly direction | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
through the weekend. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
That'll bring colder weather but also more sunshine eventually. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
For Saturday, certainly across the southern half | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
of the country, still a lot of cloud | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
and showery rain, particularly along the south coast. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
Further north, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
more sunshine here. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Just a few wintry flurries | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
blowing in on that north-easterly breeze, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
and temperatures 3 to 8 degrees. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Moving into Saturday night, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
and the cloud and rain in the south | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
gradually get pushed south | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
and then clearer skies across the country. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
As the wind's so light, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
it could be a particularly cold night. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
We could see minus 4 in towns and cities, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
though sheltered glens could see minus 10. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
Widely, a subzero start to Sunday morning. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
Expect a sharp frost and the potential for icy stretches. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
Sunday's looking like a really decent day. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
Lots of sunshine. Most places should stay dry. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Chance of a shower along the south coast. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Temperatures on the chilly side in Scotland, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
barely getting above freezing all day. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Further south, we could see 5 to 7 degrees. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Heading into Monday, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
high pressure still not far away | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
but it's changed positions - | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
sitting across Scandinavia - | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
so winds from an east or south-easterly direction. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
We'll see a bit more cloud coming in from the near Continent, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
particularly affecting southern parts. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Further north, you're more likely to see | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
that sunshine lasting through the day, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
but it's largely dry, if somewhat grey. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
A similar picture on Tuesday, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
increasing amounts of cloud moving in from south, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
could be the odd spot of drizzle. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
A weather front waiting in the wings. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
Ahead of that, 4 to 7 degrees. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Shouldn't feel too bad, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
although it will be cloudy and drizzly for some of us. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
By Wednesday, that frontal system tries to push its way eastwards. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
Some uncertainty about how far it's going to get, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
but it does look like we'll see something windier and wetter | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
heading in from the west later on in the day, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
and those temperatures starting to creep up a notch too. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
As we look through the latter part | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
of next week, the jet stream, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
which drives our low pressure systems, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
is going to be sitting in the Atlantic, diving its way south, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
but as we head towards the end of the week, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
you can see the change in the wind direction, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
coming from a west or even south-westerly direction. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
That is going to import some milder air. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
So temperatures turning milder | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
from the west. There'll be the | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
arrival of rain and strong winds | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
moving eastwards. Potential for | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
some snow as the rain bumps into | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
that cold air. We'll keep you | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
up to date once again tomorrow. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Bye for now. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 |
