tomorrow, the showers continue to affect scotland into north—east england and northern ireland. but we start to see outbreaks of snow rather than snow showers reaching parts of southern england initially for thursday, reaching parts of wales also. the wind picks up with this, the wind—chill becomes even more of a factor across england and wales through thursday and look at cardiff, feeling like minus 11. thing is getting quite dangerous through thursday evening, into the night, south west england and wales, the swirl of wind pushing moisture northwards into colder air. and we can see the snow turning heavier and drifting in the wind across south—west england into wales with the amber warning through thursday evening. the situation could go downhill quickly here and quite icy, sunspots going into friday further south as less cold air moves in with that brings freezing rain. through friday, an area of snow affecting england and wales and perhaps northern ireland so quite widely was —— we shall see a few centimetres with impacts on travel and still snow showers running into

justjoy for scotland. scotla nd scotland. scotland have waited ten years for this and it is all the sweeter because they've scuppered england's hopes of the grand slam. there is still one team left in the championship still unbeaten. ireland remain top of the table with three wins out of three though they tried to throw it away against wales in dublin. they came from behind to go 14 dublin. they came from behind to go 1a points clear in the second half as they easily punched holes in the welsh defence. wales came back off the ropes and when steph evans late try was converted they were just three points behind. that is until this steel. his second try of the match and ireland have stolen the match and ireland have stolen the match in the six nations championship. england losing at rugby. they also lost in the cricket this morning. a thrilling first one—day international against new zealand. the kiwis chase down 195 to win. ben stokes was making his first appearance since he was involved in an incident outside a bristol night

perhaps just one or two showers clipping into north—east scotland, but generally, across eastern scotland and down into the heart of england and wales, there'll be a fair amount of sunshine. some extra cloud for northern ireland. the odd shower, maybe, for west wales and the south—west of england, and still some of those snow showers taking time to clear away from the far south—east. but they should do so fairly smartly during the morning, in most areas, and then a nice slice of sunshine. eastern scotland, and particularly england and wales, seeing plenty of crisp winter sunshine during wednesday, but this frontal system will thicken up the cloud out west. outbreaks of rain, and ahead of that a spell of snow for a time, particularly across scotland. still a chilly feel to the day. now, as we go through wednesday night, we'll bring this band of cloud and rain, and some snow on its leading edge, further southwards and eastwards. but we start to pick up more of a south—westerly wind, so that's going to bring some slightly milder air. these are your overnight lows — edinburgh, belfast

we have got some snow clouds across scotland right now. there's a cold airstream coming all the way from the arctic regions — from greenland, from iceland, tucking into scotland, so here we could see over the next couple of days or so quite a bit of snow. but that is going to be mostly across the hills. so the towns and cities and coastal areas will be mostly getting rainfall. the rest of the country, the early hours, look absolutely clear, england and wales. even around plymouth the temperatures will be around freezing or below. barely above freezing. around +1. here is the pressure map for friday. this is an area of high pressure, the closer you are to this area of high pressure today the better the weather will be. for places like hull, norwich and london and southampton will have plenty of sunshine and actually a lot of sun further north as well. across scotland, more cloud and rain in the western isles, slightly stronger wind and thicker cloud also for northern ireland. it won't be cold, around about 10 degrees in the south and in t
