00:00Good morning. A frosty start for some today, more widespread frosts to come in the next

00:06few mornings and the possibility of a bit of snow in places as well. Today, it'll mostly

00:12be rain showers, but increasingly the showers over northeast Scotland will start to have

00:16some sleet and snow mixed in, especially by this evening. And yes, even down to low levels.

00:21Elsewhere, a few scattered rain showers over the Midlands, initially just grazing the west

00:26coast of Wales, perhaps coming into the north of Northern Ireland. But for most places,

00:29it's dry and a bright day, a bit more sunshine around. And for most of us, too, the winds

00:34lighter than on Monday. Still quite a breeze blowing, though, in northern Scotland and

00:38at times down into northeast England. So that'll make it feel on the cold side. Temperature

00:44is going to struggle single digits across the board and for many, no higher than about

00:48four or five Celsius. So below average for the end of November, for sure, maybe eight

00:52or nine across the southwest. Pretty quickly this evening, those temperatures are going

00:56to tumble and increasingly the showers in northeast Scotland will be turning to sleet

01:01and snow and perhaps some sleet and snow showers for southeast Scotland, northeast England

01:06as we go through the evening and overnight. And that could allow things to turn quite

01:10icy as we head into Wednesday morning. Further south will be a bit more cloud around where

01:16this cloudier zone sits that may just prevent a frost. But certainly for many of us, we're

01:21going to be down to freezing or a few degrees below to start Wednesday morning through some

01:25sheltered glens across Scotland. We could be as low as minus seven or minus eight. So

01:30a cold starts to Wednesday, a frost for many could be some freezing fog patches around

01:35in places, too. And still the potential for these showers coming into northeastern parts

01:41of Scotland and along the east coast of England still to have a wintry flavour, some sleet

01:45and snow at times. The odd rain showers still for West Wales, but most places again tomorrow,

01:51dry, bright with quite a bit of sunshine, but cold temperatures really struggling. Some

01:56places not getting much above two or three degrees Celsius. Again, the southwest a little

02:01warmer, but even here we are still below average for the time of year. But said, at least many

02:06of us will see some sunshine. Then things get really interesting Thursday and Friday.

02:11The weather patterns really giving us a few headaches here at the Met Office at the moment

02:16for what happens later this week. There are low pressure systems lurking down to the southwest

02:22and bringing some moisture to the party and just bumping up against the cold air that's

02:27in place across the UK and exactly where we see these weather fronts. Well, I could provide

02:33some sleet and snow across parts of the south for Thursday and potentially into Friday.

02:39Still quite a bit of uncertainty, as I said, at the moment. For more details on that and

02:42the possible scenarios, you can check out our week ahead forecast on YouTube.
