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

00:05Remaining wintry over the next few days with the risk of snow and ice, and even through

00:10into the early hours of Wednesday morning, some freezing fog patches, but not as widespread

00:15as we have seen.

00:16Two features we're concerned about, the snow showers across northern Scotland will intensify

00:21with a strong wind here, the risk of ice where you see those showers, and this feature just

00:26running up towards the south-west through Tuesday evening and overnight into the early

00:31hours of Wednesday morning.

00:32As the rain hits the cold air, turning to snow, and we could see 5-10cm above around

00:37200m, add on the strength of the wind, some blizzard conditions here, but we could even

00:42see 1-2cm further north, anywhere from Hampshire, Dorset, towards Somerset, icy conditions

00:49if you're stepping out first thing on Wednesday morning.

00:52And icy pretty much anywhere where you've seen some showers.

00:55Inland though, 1-2 freezing fog patches, it's going to be a bitterly cold start to the day

01:00with a widespread and severe frost.

01:03So through the morning, the feature towards the south will retreat, so despite the fact

01:07you'll see slippery surfaces and a covering of snow for some, the sun eventually will

01:12come out through the afternoon as things dry up.

01:14But these snow showers will run down the eastern side of England towards even East Anglia as

01:19we head through into the afternoon.

01:21And some still moving towards Northern Ireland, and again, slippery surfaces here through

01:26the day with those wintry showers.

01:28The showers mostly of snow across Scotland, and again some accumulations, strong winds,

01:33and expect gales across Shetland through the first part of the morning to around mid-morning.

01:38And that driving wind continues to blow in at those showers, and those showers could

01:42actually have a rumble of thunder associated with them as well.

01:46Here are your temperatures.

01:47It's going to be bitterly cold, particularly exposed to that wind, feeling icy.

01:52So that's the picture on Wednesday.

01:55That snow and ice warning extends through Thursday as well as Friday across the north

01:59as well as the east of Scotland down towards northeast England.

02:02And through the early hours of Thursday morning, you can see clearer skies for the bulk of

02:07the country, and those snow showers just are relentless towards the north, running down

02:11the western and eastern side.

02:13So here's your cities list through Thursday.

02:16On the way of sunshine, a stronger wind blowing away all the cobwebs, all the mist and murk,

02:22but even so, despite the sunshine, it's going to feel so cold outside after a very frosty

02:27start.

02:28A similar situation on Friday, then all change into the weekend.

02:31Bye bye.
