00:00Hello again. Whilst tomorrow is going to be drier and brighter than of late, it will also
00:04be a bit chillier. And before that, we do still have a fair amount of rain around. Looking
00:10further south and here the remnants of Hurricane Kirk, now named Storm Kirk by the French Met
00:16Service are going to bring some very wet and windy weather to parts of France, also to
00:20parts of Spain as we go through today and into tomorrow. Meanwhile for the UK, it's
00:24this area of low pressure that we've seen some rain wrapping around and this rain's
00:29been quite heavy, quite persistent, particularly across some parts of northern North East England
00:34through this morning, which is why we've seen some travel disruptions. Some roads have been
00:37closed and we do have a warning out for the next few hours because some further heavy
00:42rain could lead to some more disruption here. Otherwise, there are a few showers as we go
00:46through the afternoon. Not as many showers as we saw yesterday. They don't look as intense
00:51either. Less likely to be thundery and so less likely to cause the same impacts that
00:56we saw. There were a couple of reports of possible tornadoes yesterday. I don't think
01:00that's going to happen today. Still relatively warm or mild towards the south. Temperatures
01:05again getting into the high teens. But with the northerly wind coming down across northern
01:10parts, it's going to be a bit chilly for some, especially when you factor in the strength
01:14of the wind across some parts towards Scotland, down the eastern side of England as well.
01:19There will be some strong blustery winds making it feel fairly chilly at times. Through the
01:24end of the day, staying pretty cloudy for many of us. The more persistent rain across
01:29parts of northern England does shift a bit further southwards into the Midlands for a
01:33time and then later on overnight towards the south-southeast of the UK. Elsewhere, and
01:38we are going to see some clearer skies developing with that northerly wind pushing everything
01:42southwards. The cloud across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and the far north of England
01:46will be breaking up. And with those clearer skies, temperatures are going to take quite
01:51a drop. It is going to be a chilly night towards the north. Places getting to low single
01:55figures, close to possibly below freezing in some prone spots. So some frost is quite
02:01likely and with a few showers coming through, there's a good chance if any of these hit
02:06any higher ground, they could turn a bit wintry. Further south, a cloudier story. Not as mild
02:11as last night, but not as chilly as it will be further north. As we start tomorrow then,
02:17it's going to be quite cloudy across southern parts. There will be some rain around at times,
02:21but most of that is going to clear away as we go through the morning with the drier,
02:25brighter weather in the north spreading across much of the UK. Not totally dry though. There
02:30will be a scattering of showers across central parts. The most frequent showers though will
02:34be in areas exposed to that chilly northerly wind. So northern parts of Scotland, also
02:39down the eastern side of England. In particular here, we're likely to see some showers pushing
02:43through. But on the whole, it is going to be markedly drier, brighter, sunnier than
02:48it has been through the last couple of days. A real chilly feel to things though. Not only
02:53in the wind, but even on paper. Notice the temperatures several degrees down compared
02:57to today. Highs of around 13 or 14 Celsius at best towards the south. A few degrees colder
03:02than this further north. And if we do factor in that wind, it is going to feel even chillier.
03:09Some places feeling, well, not much above freezing towards the north. So really want
03:13to wrap up a marked change from how this week started. As we go through later on this
03:18week and into the weekend, there's going to be something of a north-south split. In the
03:22north, it's going to be fairly wet. There could be some winteriness, some sleet, some
03:26snow over the higher ground for a time. Further south, it's looking drier for the time being,
03:30at least through the start of the weekend. And whilst temperatures are dropping through
03:35the next 24 hours or so, they should gradually pick up as we go through this coming weekend.

03:45channel later on when Alex Deakin will have our latest 10-day trend. I'll see you again
03:50soon. Bye-bye.
