00:00Hello there, good morning. Well, it's going to be a cold start ahead of a chilly day,
00:04but there's a good chance that we could see some more sunshine, particularly if you compare
00:08it as of recent days. But quite a damp start across Northern Ireland, southern parts of
00:12Wales and Cornwall. Also a chance we could see some snow across higher ground and towards
00:17some hills. And also a chance we could see some freezing rain, so do take care for any
00:21icy stretches. A fairly cold and frosty start elsewhere, but through the course of the day
00:26there will be plenty of dry weather, perhaps even some sunshine. That's away from this
00:30area of cloud and rain that's slowly shifting its way north-eastwards towards the country.
00:34So for Northern Ireland, southern parts of Wales and also parts of the south-west, it's
00:38likely to be quite a grey and dreary day with outbreaks of rain. Some moderate to heavy
00:43bursts as well also possible and fairly blustery too around western coasts. But elsewhere,
00:48probably a more pleasant day compared to recent days and a chance we could see some brighter
00:52spells. Now, temperatures are still just below average for the time of year for many
00:56of us, so it is still going to be feeling fairly chilly, but something slightly milder
01:00just starting to creep in to the south-west. Now, heading into the evening, once again
01:06we'll continue to see this area of cloud and rain slowly shift its way north-eastwards.
01:11This is where we're going to continue to see some outbreaks of patchy rain. Also a chance
01:14still that we could see some hill snow, particularly across Wales and then later on across western
01:18parts of Scotland and still continued risk of some freezing rain possible too. So once
01:23again, a chance we could see some ice by the time we reach Saturday morning and similarly
01:28we'll see a mix of cloud and clear spells elsewhere, so another chilly night on offer
01:33and a chance for some frost by Saturday morning. Now, for the beginning of the weekend itself,
01:39there's still going to be plenty of grey skies around I'm afraid. Quite drizzly across parts
01:43of Wales and south-west, later on into central and north-eastern parts of the UK, even across
01:48Scotland we could see some drizzle at times and still a chance of some hill snow and once
01:53again as that milder air falls into the colder air, a chance we could see some freezing rain,
01:57so there is still the risk of some ice possible. Elsewhere it should be slightly drier, particularly
02:03across the south-east where there is a chance of seeing some brighter interludes, but once
02:07again a fairly chilly day on offer and it could be quite damp for some. Now, what about
02:12the rest of the weekend? Well, we still have this battle between low pressure out to the
02:16west and high pressure out to the east and that means also a battle between milder and
02:21colder air and as that milder air brings rain and falls into the colder air, once again
02:25we could see a chance of some hill snow, but for many, particularly across the north-east,
02:30it's still going to be rather cloudy and grey and often quite chilly and across the south-west,
02:35largely milder, but still a chance we could see some rain. For more details on this weekend's
02:40weather, you can catch Aidan, otherwise that's it from me. Bye bye.
