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

00:05The weather remains fairly quiet through the next few days, a mix of starry skies and thicker

00:09cloud determining where the frost is and certainly by day there will be some brighter skies around.

00:15High pressure in charge drifting towards Ireland and then this feature here is a weak weather

00:20front which will deliver more cloud and some patchy rain but as it pushes southwards it

00:25will allow for some much colder air to stream in from the Arctic with an increasing chance

00:31through Sunday and into Monday of some snow showers.

00:34Before that though through Wednesday evening where the clouds is thick enough we could

00:38see the odd spot or two of rain eastern parts of Scotland, eastern England.

00:43That wind continues along this eastern side, further west we'll see some breaks in the

00:48cloud but clearer skies across the middle and southward southern parts of Wales and

00:53western Scotland that's where the lowest temperatures will be so a widespread frost

00:57across these parts with a lighter breeze across the far northwest you could even see some

01:01freezing fog patches yet again.

01:03A patchy frost for Northern Ireland, the cloud comes and goes here so all in all most places

01:09will be dry as we enter Thursday but it's going to be cold and certainly frosty across

01:14the south as well as the northwest.

01:18Through the morning then this cloud continues slowly drifting towards the Midlands, East

01:23Anglia.

01:24At the same time it will erode across more eastern and central parts of Scotland so some

01:28brighter skies emerging for the likes of Dundee, Edinburgh, even Aberdeen.

01:33More clouds across Shetland as well as Orkney and some brighter skies coming through across

01:38Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and you can see a little bit of brightness.

01:42Sunshine reserved for the far southwest of England and Wales through the afternoon and

01:47this northerly wind keeps on blowing and what that means even though temperatures are six

01:51to eight degrees celsius along the east coast it's going to feel colder than that.

01:55Now subtle changes in our weather through Thursday night and into Friday.

02:00As you saw earlier the centre of the high is drifting towards Ireland.

02:04The winds remain lighter then through the early hours into Friday morning with the chance

02:08of some freezing fog yet again down towards the central belt of Scotland even Northern

02:13Ireland where we'll see the cloud break.

02:15So a fairly widespread frost across these parts however the cloud across England and

02:19Wales away from Cumbria will keep temperatures slightly higher two to four degrees celsius

02:24but at least away from the fog you'll see a bright start in the north with some sunshine.

02:29Now through the day the cloud will slightly break up across northern counties of England

02:33even the northwest of Wales elsewhere yes it's a rather cloudy day with a bit of a cold

02:39wind at the same time more cloud will move in across the northwest of Scotland and that's

02:44the weather front which will push across through the first part of the weekend.

02:48Before that temperatures five to seven degrees celsius at the very best and I'll see you later bye bye.
