across the north of scotland, we had the feed of cold, northerly winds and low temperatures. now, into that today has moved this weather system. it's come in off the atlantic, bumped into the cold air and we've seen the snowfall even down to low levels across northern areas of scotland. and really, through the afternoon, there's going to be little in the way of change. it is just these northern areas that will see the snow — about five to ten centimetres building up in places. certainly through the central belt, it's mild and wet, with temperatures reaching double figures around 11 or 12. now, for many of us, it is going to be a cloudy day but the high ground in wales is breaking the cloud across the midlands, east anglia and southern england, so there will be a few bright or sunny spells coming through here. overnight, we get this very narrow, weak weatherfront, a band of rain pushing its way southwards and eastwards. the snow turns back to rain in northern scotland, even over the highest mountains, before clearing out of the way towards the end of the night. so, for wedne

that weather system, though, will change the weather for scotland and northern ireland. before that arrives, though, early sunday will start frosty widely, could be down to minus 11—5 in quite a few places. we'll see the cloud increasing in scotland and northern ireland, rain coming down from the north later on. cloud will tend to increase across england and wales, probably spread out a little bit. there could be 1—2 showers, but not as many showers on sunday. many places in england and wales will be dry with some sunshine at times, and those temperatures continuing to climb a little bit higher to around 10—11 celsius. that weather system, though, bringing the rain into scotland and northern ireland, pushes south overnight. and on monday, we're in between those two fronts. we're in what we call a warm sector — that's warmer air, soft and cloudy air — and certainly looks cloudy on monday. we've got rain and drizzle at times, and it will be windy, winds could be touching gale force in scotland for a while. we should start frost—free, though, actually on monday

across the north—east of scotland we had some thicker cloud on sunday. as that came in, temperatures just limited to about 7 degrees celsius, and i'm telling you about that because that cloud is likely to be there still across parts of northern scotland into monday morning. with that, a bit of drizzle, maybe a few mist patches, as well. otherwise, a sunny start to the day, but through the afternoon we will see cloud tending to bubble up, bringing a scattering of showers, and, again, with the wind is coming in off the north sea, it is these eastern areas that will have the slightly lower temperatures. 10—14 degrees. now, some of the showers, come the afternoon, could turn out to be fairly heavy across south—eastern england, with the risk of a bit of hail mixed in, but it is across the south that we will see those highest temperatures. 16, maybe 17 for the south of wales and south—west england. now, into monday night time, you can see the extent of the dry weather. we are going to see cloud, though, again, moving into northern areas of scotland, perh
