00:00Hi there, there are some significant changes in the weather on the way but for the time
00:05being actually we've got one, two or even three days of relatively quiet weather depending
00:10on where in the UK you are, especially across southern parts where we've started the day
00:15with some pockets of frost and fog that will tend to clear by the afternoon and bright
00:20spells will prevail but areas of cloud also remaining. And for northern England, Scotland
00:27and Northern Ireland that's where the thickest cloud will be although some breaks there for
00:30eastern Scotland where it will be relatively mild. But there will also be some drizzle
00:34where we've got a thicker cloud towards the north-west and especially for north-west Scotland
00:39where it is far from quiet, it's increasingly wet and windy as a weather front sinks south.
00:45This is a cold front and it's a fairly active if rather short-lived affair with a burst
00:50of heavy rain on it and gusty winds as it moves through Scotland, Northern Ireland and
00:53then into northern England overnight. The cold front does exactly what it says on the
00:58tin, it's introducing colder air into Scotland and Northern Ireland although with the winds
01:04increasing overnight it's going to stir the air up enough to prevent a frost and there
01:08will be a touch of frost in the far south ahead of the cold front conversely because
01:12of the lighter winds and the clear spells, a few fog patches as well. But increasingly
01:16cloudy skies sink south across England and Wales, some spots of rain and drizzle for
01:20Wales into the Midlands and then eventually the south as that feature moves its way south.
01:26Meanwhile a different story for the northern half of the UK, increasingly cold with these
01:30winds coming from the north, gales for the north of Scotland carrying with them a mix
01:35of rain sleet and hail showers at lower levels and some snow over the hills. So feeling cold
01:39in the wind in the north whilst it's relatively mild after, potentially a chilly start in
01:44the south as the cloud thickens through the day and into the evening we've got those outbreaks
01:49of rain reaching southern counties of England. But we've also got showers pushing into the
01:53north west of England, north Wales, northern Ireland and much of Scotland. Cold air then
01:58sinks south for Sunday but it's interrupted by these weather systems that are arriving
02:04from the Atlantic and they introduce milder air and outbreaks of rain. The first one coming
02:10along for Sunday will bring outbreaks of rain for northern Ireland, for southern Scotland,
02:16north Wales and then eventually southern parts. Although as it clears through it could
02:21well bring some snow over the Pennines as well as the southern uplands. Then we've got
02:27the cold air continuing in the far north of Scotland. Sunday night into Monday could bring
02:31some significant snow accumulations especially over higher parts of northern Scotland. But
02:37another system moves in for Monday and at the moment that looks like it's going to take
02:41a track across central parts of the UK introducing actually relatively mild air to the south
02:47and some heavy rain. But as it bumps into the cold air there's that risk of some significant
02:52snow and at the moment it looks most likely that northern England and parts of Scotland,
02:58central Scotland and southern Scotland will see the greatest risk of disruptive snow and
03:04that risk is most especially over higher parts above 200 or 300 metres. Later Monday and
03:11into Tuesday. But worth bearing in mind that it will be milder for a time with some heavy
03:16rain in the south as that clears through. Once it does clear through this cold air awaits
03:22and that's going to spread south across the whole of the country by the middle of the
03:26week. So yes, turning colder but a brief interruption from those weather systems moving in from
03:31the Atlantic that will contain rain and northern parts of the UK could see some disruptive
03:36hill snow as a result. Warnings have been issued for these various wintry weather systems
03:41and you can find the latest updates on those warnings of course through the Met Office
03:45app and website. We'll keep you updated right here on YouTube. Bye bye.
