across the north of scotland, we had the feed of cold, northerly winds and low temperatures. now, into that today has moved this weather system. it's come in off the atlantic, bumped into the cold air and we've seen the snowfall even down to low levels across northern areas of scotland. and really, through the afternoon, there's going to be little in the way of change. it is just these northern areas that will see the snow — about five to ten centimetres building up in places. certainly through the central belt, it's mild and wet, with temperatures reaching double figures around 11 or 12. now, for many of us, it is going to be a cloudy day but the high ground in wales is breaking the cloud across the midlands, east anglia and southern england, so there will be a few bright or sunny spells coming through here. overnight, we get this very narrow, weak weatherfront, a band of rain pushing its way southwards and eastwards. the snow turns back to rain in northern scotland, even over the highest mountains, before clearing out of the way towards the end of the night. so, for wedne

for england and wales, it looks drierfor scotland and for england and wales, it looks drier for scotland and northern ireland and those temperatures maybe a degree or two higher round nine or ten, the winds should be light. we are seeing fewer showers this weekend because in area of high pressure is trying to build towards the uk, but we have this weather front arriving in the north. that will tend to increase the cloud on sunday, for scotland and northern ireland and eventually bring rain down as well. england and wales starts cold, ferocity sunny. the cloud will bubble up. might be one or two showers but a good chance of staying dry. the temperatures continuing to creep up, up to ten or 11, as we head into the start of next week, we have this weather front moving down from the north. bringing rain. in between those two weather fronts is what we call a warm sector, the air is warmer and you can see for monday how cloudy it will be. there will be rain round from time to time. it will be windy, the wind could touch gale force in scotland but the temperatures will creep up to 13 or 1a and
