00:00Hello there. High pressure in charge over the next few days into the weekend.

00:05Things are looking very settled indeed.

00:08But by night, the air will be cold enough for a frost by day, we'll see some pleasant sunshine.

00:13Into Wednesday, the cloud is clearing from the north as a weak weather front sinks its way southwards.

00:19But the air behind this weather front is much colder, so expect a frost tonight,

00:24particularly across central and northern areas of Scotland, sheltered spots of Northern Ireland.

00:29This weak system here pushes down towards northern counties of England.

00:32The odd spot or two of rain can't be ruled out.

00:35And towards the southeast, we will see some low, misty cloud.

00:39The clearest skies will be towards the north, central and northern areas of Scotland.

00:43But even across the far north, we could see one or two wintry showers with quite a brisk breeze.

00:49You can see where the lowest temperatures will be, though.

00:51The glens of Scotland, minus four degrees Celsius.

00:53Apache frost for Northern Ireland, as well as even Northern England.

00:57First thing then on Wednesday morning, a cold wind across the far north of Scotland.

01:02Clearer skies extend down towards Northumberland, as well as Cumbria, East Yorkshire.

01:07Apache cloud for Northern Ireland.

01:09Then we run into this weather front, which is weak, but even so,

01:12the odd spot or two of rain can't be ruled out anywhere from Lincolnshire towards the Midlands.

01:16To the south of that, murky conditions for the home counties,

01:19and we will see some brighter skies across more southern areas of England.

01:23So, through Wednesday, this weak weather front tends to ease as it pushes down towards the south.

01:28Just really cloud, but the cloud will break up through the afternoon.

01:32A very different story across Scotland and Northern Ireland through the day.

01:35Fine and dry, with some blue sky and sunshine.

01:39A lovely day to be out and about.

01:41You can see this cloud a bit more stubborn across the west Midlands, east Wales.

01:45We could see one or two showers breaking out across the west country.

01:49But most places will be dry.

01:51Highest temperatures towards the southwest, coming in around 16 Celsius.

01:55Elsewhere, around 10 to 14.

01:58Here's your bigger picture for the next few days.

02:00This area of high pressure extends from the northwest.

02:03Those blues never too far away, but the temperatures will recover after quite a chilly day on Wednesday.

02:08Certainly by day, we'll see temperatures up to the mid-teens.

02:11By night, though, a fairly widespread frost, and then subtle changes towards the southwest.

02:16The winds will pick up some strength here,

02:18and they could turn quite gusty over perhaps even the southern Welsh hills, as well as the moors.

02:23Elsewhere, fine and dry with some sunshine, and that extends into the weekend.

02:27Perhaps more in the way of clouds around, though.

02:29Bye-bye.
