cloud and some outbreaks of rain. here are those weather fronts pushing southwards and eastwards, fragmenting, so just a bit of patchy rain really for parts of east anglia clearing quite quickly this evening and another warm front approaching northern ireland. so cloudier, breezier here and also milder into tomorrow morning. but still a touch of frost possible across england and wales, underneath largely clear skies for at least part of the night, but also some fog patches developing as well. now, the generally unsettled theme is just set to continue as we head through the rest of this week. won't be raining all the time — it will also be rather changeable in terms of temperature, too. some milderfeeling air, despite the cold start on wednesday with this warm front. that's going to bring some outbreaks of rain across western scotland — the rain is likely to pep up for a time, some heavier downpours across western areas of wales into south—west england, but it takes its time before it gets to east anglia. it could stay dry here for much of the day. now, in the best of any late
5:57 pm
brightness across eastern areas of northern ireland, we could even see 13—14 celsius with that milder feeling air and a brisk southwesterly wind blowing throughout. now you can see the milder air here on wednesday, marked in yellow, but it's been swept further eastwards by these cold fronts. so colder, wintry conditions developing from the west as we head through thursday. we're likely to see some early outbreaks of rain across central southern england. the ground saturated here. flood warnings in place could add to the problems. brisk winds across the north—west of scotland — possibly severe gales here for a time pushing these showers further eastwards and the snow levels are likely to drop throughout the day so it will gradually turn colder. and we could be seeing some winteriness, perhaps, over the scottish hills and through the welsh mountains, and over the tops of the pennines by the time we get to the end of the day. and there's not much improvement on friday either — the first day of the meteorological spring, low pressure, very much dominant, brisk winds towards eastern coastal areas in particular, showers swirling around the low with longer spells of rain and winteriness above 200—300 metres, which includes the southern uplands, the pennines and the higher ground
