00:00Hello there, welcome to your weather update from the Met Office.

00:03Warnings for snow and ice across the north of Scotland through Tuesday and into Wednesday.

00:08And eventually, Arctic air streams right across the country.

00:11Let's look at the broader picture.

00:13You can see the yellows just slowly fading away

00:16as that weather front sinks down towards more southern areas through Wednesday.

00:20A warning in the north and then that cold north and northeasterly wind

00:23delivering snow showers across more northern and eastern areas through Wednesday as well as Thursday.

00:29The air generally turning a lot colder with the risk of frost.

00:33Let's backtrack to Tuesday evening.

00:35First of all, this weather front here continues across the central belt of Scotland

00:41pushing in across the north and northeast of England.

00:43A cold biting wind.

00:45Now behind it, we'll see those snow showers.

00:47A warning for snow and ice across northern Scotland.

00:50Accumulations above around 100 metres.

00:53Further south, any patchy rain during Tuesday evening will clear

00:57and then we'll see some dry skies.

00:59However, as we head into tomorrow morning, a frosty and icy start across Scotland.

01:04It will be cold.

01:05We'll see some brighter skies emerging.

01:07Eventually, this cloud clearing from border regions.

01:09The rain approaching Northern Ireland will slowly sink down towards much of the province through the morning.

01:14Rain also across northern counts of England, moving in across the Midlands, East Anglia

01:18and some patchy rain also for the north of Wales.

01:21A drier start to the day across southern counties, but that won't last.

01:25Through the day, eventually, this weather front here erratically moves its way southwards

01:30bringing more clouds and some outbreaks of rain.

01:32Colder behind it, so we could see some snow over Pennines

01:37and certainly some snow showers moving in across the northeast of England, also northern

01:42and eastern areas of Scotland where they will penetrate further inland

01:45because of the strength of the wind.

01:47And that will bring also the chance of quite a significant wind chill.

01:52It's been cold across most places, but we hang on to double figures across more southern areas

01:56where you'll see some showery rain to end the day on Wednesday.

02:00Here's your outlook through Thursday.

02:02Another band of rain through Wednesday night into Thursday could bring cloud, rain

02:06and even some hill snow to southern areas before it clears through the day

02:10allowing some brighter skies, but always the chance of wintry showers towards the north and the east.

02:14And this is your outlook as we head into the weekend, remaining cold

02:17and then a little more changeable to the end of the week.
