00:00Good morning. A mixed bag again today. We've seen some snow through the night over the

00:05mountains of northern Scotland and further snow flurries here over the hills through

00:10the rest of the day. Rain at low levels but feeling pretty cold in that rain with the

00:14breeze coming in from the North Sea. For many it's a dry start but rain is spreading up

00:19across southern England into parts of Wales, the Midlands and across Northern Ireland through

00:23the day. A wetter day compared to yesterday across the southeast but parts of East Anglia

00:28out through Lincolnshire, East Yorkshire mostly dry and bright actually with some sunny

00:32spells and a brighter day compared to yesterday for South Wales and southwest England too.

00:36There will be some sunny spells coming through here. Maybe just some showers to follow as

00:41well. Temperature wise we're struggling to get to double digits for many areas. Perhaps

00:47with a bit of brightness in eastern England we could get to 12 Celcius but say for many

00:519, 10 and for Scotland and Northern Ireland still some cold air here so 5, 6, 7 at the

00:57very best and feeling colder with the outbreaks of rain which will continue to spread back

01:02into central and southern Scotland this evening. Again as it hits the colder air we'll see

01:07more hill snow here through the night. Generally turning a bit drier across England and Wales

01:12some decent clearer spells but then look at this a whole raft of showers then coming in

01:16to Northern Ireland, Wales and southwest England by dawn. Temperatures again well down into

01:21single figures a touch lower in the countryside. Should start with a bit of sunshine across

01:26the Midlands and eastern England on Wednesday but the showers will get going. The clouds

01:30will bubble up. Heavy showers in the west spiralling their way up towards southern Scotland

01:36and into eastern England come the afternoon. It won't rain all day. It will be a case of

01:40one minute it's dry the next you've got a heavy downpour. Those showers blown along

01:45by a fairly brisk wind. Some decent spells of sunshine and skies will brighten over

01:49northern Scotland by the afternoon compared to the morning. But you can see by the pattern

01:54of the showers where the low pressure is sitting just out to the west. The winds are

01:58coming up from the south or southwest but it's not bringing mild air. Temperatures again

02:02struggling to get to average for the time of year 10 to 12 at best. A little higher

02:08perhaps in Scotland compared to today but still on the chilly side generally speaking

02:13and low pressure will continue to dominate our weather even into the build up for the

02:18Easter weekend. For more on that you can catch our full week ahead version of the weather
