usual address. thank you for watching and we will see you again soon. hello there. well, it‘s certainly been a fairly unsettled easter break, and for some parts of the country, quite a wintry one too. we‘ve still got some snow lingering, across parts of scotland in particular. lingering, across parts here was the scene on easter monday in colchester, in essex. so cloudy conditions, we‘ve had outbreaks of showery rain around too. now, through the next few days, things are turning much milder across southern parts of the country. still chilly and wintry in the north, and that unsettled theme continues with sunshine and showers. but what we are seeing is this milder air, the yellow colours, pushing north across the country. still holding onto the colder air across parts of scotland in particular. so for tuesday morning, your morning commute back to work, it will be snowing still across northern scotland, north of the central belt.
1:56 am
towards the southern uplands, it will be turning back to rain through the course of the morning, but that snow in central scotland still causing problems. it will ease away through the morning. further south, those showers moving in across england, wales and northern ireland, followed by more sunshine, and actually, in the sunny spells across the afternoon, temperatures of 14 and 15 degrees. it will look much colder under the snowfall across parts of scotland. that snowfall will invigorate once again, so further heavy snow as we head through tuesday night into the early hours of wednesday. but further south it‘s another fairly mild night to come, with further bursts of showery rain across england, wales and northern ireland. eventually that snow across the north of scotland will ease away, later on on wednesday, turning back to rain, particularly at lower levels further south. heavy rain, showers and thunderstorms rolling in across england and wales, though, although in the brightest spells we‘ll see temperatures up to around 13 degrees or so. it still will be colder in the north. looking through from the midweek onwards, we‘ll be seeing low pressure just starting to drift away towards the east, and a ridge of higher pressure building. so, as we look further ahead, into thursday, it will probably be the best day of the week in terms

of lots of dry and bright weather, with some sunshine on offer, and a lot less cold than it has been recently. so temperatures between around about seven to nine in the north, still fairly cool here. around 13 further south, it will feel quite nice. during thursday evening and overnight into friday, another area of milder air moves in. you can also see some fairly strong winds here. so heading on into friday, we are likely to see a little bit of rain heading on into the west, with the brisk winds around, as well. further east across the country, though, we keep the drier and the brighter spell in the weather, as well. so, with the southerly winds in the sunshine, we could well see 16 degrees also on friday. that milder theme continues on into the weekend, so by saturday, one or two areas at about 17, possibly 18 degrees. still a few showers on the cards. bye for now. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i‘m mike embley. our top stories — president ramaphosa of south africa leads tributes to winnie mandela — the anti—apartheid campaigner
