in brussels in the next few days to it done, so i'm really happy with the area of low pressure drifts get that number up from zero to a further east and that opens up the slightly higher number, although any how that's going. just day—to—day things i'm doing are a lot more gates to much cooler air to push in number is higher than zero! you talk to the eu side and they are quite enjoyable now and ifeel good. ona gates to much cooler air to push in on a north—westerly wind, and that isa gloomy and frustrated. they think if things i'm doing are a lot more enjoyable now and i feel good. the two—time wimbledon champion had on a north—westerly wind, and that is a colder direction to be coming they were something that was going intended to retire after this you's from. we still have rain and showers to be rubbish to present to mps tournament but admitted in january feeding in three parts of scotland he may have played his last match before they vote on the deal on which could be a bit wintry again tuesday, you would have had to make due to injury. his hip operation, over the hills, even over the hills a lot more progress than this by however, has given him cautious of north—west england it could be now. they were quite frustrated they optimism. i want to get my hip as wintry at times, whether showers for are still having to go through the best as i can to see if i can eastern england but even into the withdrawal agreement with the uk side and point out things they continue to do something i love doing, which is playing tennis and midlands, and we will notice a cannot have, that the eu is not difference in the temperatures, down a bit on today. overnight it will be willing to give them, for example a whether that is competing at the top time limit on the backstop or a ten in the world level or not is cold, the winds dropping out so we unilateral exit clause. so quite a probably unlikely, but could i get are expecting a widespread frost with temperatures close to if not a lot of frustration and quite a lot to top 50, top 100 level? that is of gloom on the eu side that things touch below freezing, mist and fog are not making progress. but as you may be possible. ijust have to wait perhaps first thing on friday saw geoffrey cox walking through st morning for parts of scotland. under pancras station, he was putting a and see. how likely can have is it a ridge of high pressure things much braverface on it. you could play at wimbledon this start to settle down but briefly pancras station, he was putting a much braver face on it. he is a diplomat. reading between the lines year, do you think? to play singles because the next weather system begins to show its hand putting it of what he said, it is clearly a at wimbledon. i would say it would be less than 50% chance of playing. in south—west england and wales and struggle. of course, we have the north—west england as well. it will vote next week. is there a sense remain cool as we head to the day on where you are that it is now you know doubles... possibly. friday. and in fact into the inevitable that the extension to whether i'd be able to get back to weekend. rain at times, some bright article 50 willjust have to happen?

playing singles in that period of intervals but also gales and the yes, people on the side of the time, it's really difficult for me chance of some hill snow. channel have been talking about to say. beyond wimbledon, you think article 50 and the need for it to be there is a realistic chance you can extended beyond the two years. the get back into serious senior men's discussions have got louder and tennis is a singles player? well... louder and it has felt quite inevitable here for quite some time, i think it's possible. but i don't before the prime minister let the wa nt to i think it's possible. but i don't want to say that it's highly likely, cat out of the bag in the commons last week, saying this is something because it's not been done before. that parliament will have to deal the thing that gives me hope is that with. but you speak to british in australia in the last 18 months, officials who work on brexit and they are worried that the eu and my hip was in a really bad way and i michel barnier and his task force are misreading the situation in the was able to compete and win matches uk and that actually, the only against very good players. if my hip chance to get the deal through is for them to agree something with the is better now than it was then and i uk in the next few days, to present have less pain, then there's a chance i can do that again. it all to mp5, so they approve the deal on tuesday. the brits are worried that felt very different at this year's maybe the eu is thinking, hang on, australian open where prior to his their vote could go down on tuesday, first round defeat, murray cut an they will take no deal of the table, emotional figure, article 50 could be extended, there first round defeat, murray cut an emotionalfigure, fearing his career was over. at the press conference i is still time, this isn't really the was over. at the press conference i end game yet, let's keep the brits was talking totally from my heart and how i felt so i don't know if waiting before we give them something. british officials are anything i said there has been worried that is a total misreading

contradictory to how i'm talking now. but, yeah, i don't regret doing of the situation and i think privately they are urging their cou nterpa rts privately they are urging their counterparts in the eu that they that. andy murray's chances of have to budge. you talked about reading between the lines, reading resurrecting his career will become clearer in may but whatever lies between the mines i think the idea ofa time ahead, today will have given british between the mines i think the idea of a time limit to the backstop or sports fans fresh hope. some kind of escape clause that the uk could activate itself, i think those ideas are fading now. although, the uk government denies dan roan speaking that. geoffrey cox sent a strongly to andy murray and we'll have with holly hamilton atjust worded tweet yesterday saying it's after half past two. not the case but i get the time for a look at the weather. impression what we are looking at here's mel. now is what the eu has said all earlier in the week louise talked along it is prepared to do, stuff about the cold condition affecting large parts of north america. i want to show you how it is influencing that interprets the interpretation our weather today, in a moment. of the withdrawal agreement, the let's look at this in some detail. political declaration about the future relationship. interpretation of what those documents mean to this is the temperature gradient. reassure people in the uk the you can see how far south this cold backstop wouldn't last forever, air that's working its way down from something much, much more subtle the arctic is working. look at the than the prime minister has been talking about in the last few weeks. contrast in the temperatures. on 0k, talking about in the last few weeks. ok, adam, we will speak to you average, atalanta during march these later, you. temperatures around 17 degrees. today they are expected to reach just eight because of the cool air more now on the news that

starting to make inroads. they are not used at these kinds of muslim convert lewis ludlow, conditions at this time of year. if nicknamed "the eagle", has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years we look at mississippi come just at the old bailey for planning about scraping double figures, a "spectacular" terror attack whereas they are used to 21 degrees on oxford street in london. at this time of year. we would be we can go to the old bailey and happy with that sort of temperature daniel stanford who is covering this late spring and early summer but trial. lewis ludlow admitted he had they are more or less where we are at the moment. that is quite a come been planning an attack on the uk. down. so it is all to do with air he had been in communications with an islamic state group commander in masses. we have this cold blue the philippines and had been showing the colder air mass working discussing trying to use a truck or its way in and the warmer air mass van, possibly loaded with a bomb, to towards the south. that is quite a contrast. what that does, as they drive into shoppers in central meet together, it influences the jet london, possibly on oxford street, which he described as a long road stream. you remember what thejet with no barriers to protect a van strea m stream. you remember what thejet stream is? the one that comes to us mounting a street. at the same time, eventually but when louise showed us, there was no stop ids of the temperature gradients, just looking lewis ludlow came across as a at the temperature, not the detail socially naive and awkward, of the weather. don't spoil it now. vulnerable 27—year—old man was that the jet stream is the ribbon of fast he had been involved since 2008 flowing air that is way above our heads. that has been given some by the strong contrast in these where the extremists and hadn't temperatures and then it is heading really got involved in any attack our way. do you remember last week

planning until last year. the when we had that settled spell? we we re when we had that settled spell? we were sitting... it sounds like a sentencing hearing took place over three days injanuary test, yes, i do. we were sitting to sentencing hearing took place over three days in january and sentencing hearing took place over three days injanuary and resumed again today. he had argued in that the south of the jet stream, sentencing hearing with the judge allowing the warmer air to work its way in. at the moment, we are that he had abandoned any idea of sitting to the north of the jet carrying out the attack, but the stream. where we see dips like this, judge, the recorder of london, said this allows low pressure systems to form and hey presto, that is what today i am sure that cannot be have today. a low it low pressure right. then he said, i believe you are planning a spectacular, multiple system influencing our weather. did you see what i did? i did, so victim attack on innocent civilians miserable? wright unsettled as we in central london and turning to the had through the next few days and a sentencing section of the hearing, little bit cooler. let's have a he said he sentenced lewis ludlow to little bit cooler. let's have a little look at the details are stop some rain overnight which has been confined to scotland, where we are life with a minimum term of 15 years seeing some hills never stop following on behind, a rash of showers pushing into the west but in prison. daniel, thank you very they are gradually, as we are going much indeed. daniel sanford at the through the afternoon, gradually make their way eastwards. some will be quite heavy. they will pack quite bailey. time for the weather. a punch, the risk of hail and at this time of the year the weather thunder. in between, there will be dry and bright intervals for some of can throw anything away and is doing that today. courtesy of an area of us. dry and bright intervals for some of us. it will be breezy generally but low pressure in charge of our

where we bump into one of those weather, draped around it we have showers, it will be particularly these weather fronts, blustery. quite a stark contrast in weather, draped around it we have these weatherfronts, producing weather, draped around it we have these weather fronts, producing the rain. we also had some hill snow the temperatures today. across over the higher ground in scotland northern ireland and scotland, and some blustery showers feeding on mid—single figures at best. three western parts of england and elsewhere across england, double wales, tracking eastwards through digit temperatures, we could even this afternoon foster quite a see 15 where we get to see some contrast in the temperatures, sunshine. as we head into this mid—single figures are best for evening, the area of low pressure parts of scotland, whereas the further south you come, back into feeds the rain back into parts of double digits. into this evening in northern ireland and eventually the area of low pressure brings the north—west england as we had through the early hours behind, a rash of rain back into parts of northern showers pushing into the west but ireland and north—west england as we they are gradually, as we are going head through the night. a few through the afternoon, gradually make their way eastwards. some will showers down towards the south—west be quite heavy. they will pack quite and there will be some clear spells a punch, the risk of hail and but the winds will stop those thunder. in between, there will be dry and bright intervals for some of temperatures dropping any closer to us. dry and bright intervals for some of us. it will be breezy generally but freezing. not a particular start where we bump into one of those showers, it will be particularly thursday morning but our area of low blustery. quite a stark contrast in the temperatures today. across pressure has drifted a bit further northern ireland and scotland, east would sow the winds coming from mid—single figures at best. elsewhere across england, double digit temperatures, we could even a north—westerly direction, a cooler see 15 where we get to see some direction. we will notice the sunshine. as we head into this evening, the, here is the area of difference and we could have some hill snow in parts of scotland and low pressure. it gradually drift a little further eastwards. it will open up the doors for much colder airto move in north—east england. open up the doors for much colder air to move in on a north—westerly wind. the rain tracking a bit further eastwards through the day and some blustery showers feeding into parts of scotland. hill snow in places, even to the higher ground in

round and afterwards he broke down in tears — telling press he planned to retire after this year's wimbledon because of the pain in his hip. since then he decided to have more surgery — that would replace the surface of his hip with metal. he's been giving us an update on how that went and it seems it's good news, telling our sports editor dan roan he's pain free for the first time in nearly two years. i feel good. i'm walking around pain—free, which hasn't been the case for, you know, pretty much 18 months, two years. and that was the main reason for having it done, so i'm really happy with how that's going, just day—to—day things that i'm doing are a lot more enjoyable now. ifeel good, thanks. bear in mind, no tennis player has competed in singles again after having this sort of invasive operation, but what's clear from his comments

is that andy murray is keen to try. studio: does that mean he could be at wimbledon in june? this is the question. he says he's under "no pressure" to resume his career during which he's two olympic gold medals and 45 singles titles, will we see the likes of that again? we'll have to wait and see. and as for playing singles at wimbledon this year? he says the chances of that are "less than 50%". less than 50% chance of playing. you know, doubles, possibly. one of the american doubles players bob bryan, had the same operation and was competing after five and a half months. he played the australian open. there is also a vast difference between singles and doubles, the physicality and the load you put on the body. peter beardsley has

left his role as coach at newcastle united. beardsley had been on leave since an investigation into racism and bullying allegations was launched last year. beardsley, who "categorically denied the allegations", has said the "time was right to seek a new challenge". newcastle said they were grateful for the contribution beardsley had given over the years as a player, coach and ambassador and wished him well for the future. more champions action tonight — this time it's manchester united's turn but they have a steeper hill to climb if they want to qualify for the last eight. they trail paris by two goals going into tonight's second leg, but ole gunnar solskjaer says they still believe that they are capable of causing an upset and making it to the the quarter—finals. we will never approach any game as a lost cause, and we will put pressure on us

that we can do this, but the outside pressure is off because people expect us to go out and to go out easily but that doesn't happen with manchester united and manchester united players. scotland's women have finished fifth in the algarve cup after beating denmark 1—0 in this afternoon. the only goal of the game was from jane ross in the first half — her 58th for her country — enough for victory over a team three places higher in the world rankings. it was scotland's second win in two games after beating iceland on monday. ireland have named their training squad for sunday's six nations clash with france and there is no place for sean cronin or robbie henshaw. cronin's paid the price for ireland's line—out troubles following their unimpressive win over italy — he'll be replaced by ulster‘s rob herring. henshaw still hasn't recovered from a dead leg which has kept him out of the last two games. the proposed merger between welsh rugby union clubs scarlets and ospreys is now

"off the table". the pair were meeting yesterday about the plans. but in a statement, scarlets they say that ospreys have changed their minds. the plans had been criticised, with players from both teams fearing for their futures. that's all the sport for now. today is bbc young reporter news day. its a day when the bbc works with hundreds of young people, giving them the chance to get involved in skills workshops and training, as well as opportunities to tell their own stories. 16 year old jake has been telling his story about being a dj with a twist. he performs at parties using makaton ? its a sign language commonly used by cbeebies mr tumble as a form of basic sign language. dj jay, as he 5 known, applied for the bbc young reporter competition and made it through to the final ? here 5 his story. i always start my show with, "hello, my name is dj. i'm also going to do dance, i'm going to do singing."

16—year—old jake is a dj with a difference. i'm the first makaton—friendly dj in the uk all round. and that basically means i can do makaton in my performances and include people. makaton is a simplified sign language mainly known for using by mr tumble. he's made it world—famous. adults and children can use it. it's just simplified, it's easier. ok, we're going to do some signing and some singing to the song, this is me, from the greatest showman. does everybody know that song? yeah! yeah? sometimes if a child's deaf i can sign songs to them, so they can hear the song, they can feel the beat, they can feel the music. it's just an amazing reaction when the kids smile and they can see you communicate with them. i can do this is me from the greatest showman. how long did it take you to perfect that? well, it took me about four months. it was the first song i ever learned. and there is a special person who convinced jake to take up makaton and include it in his act. it's alice my little cousin.

alice has down's syndrome. and ever since we were little we have always had a close bond, a special bond. and when i saw her, i thought, i'm an entertainer, i can do it. she makes me laugh, she makes me smile and ijust love being around her. but alice isn't his only fan. what do you make of this disco? amazing. they're not leaving anyone out. they're getting everyone to be involved. and that's really important, isn't it? yeah. you're all taking part. it's not one person. we're all in a group and we're all having fun, basically. i want everyone to be included and just have fun and have laughter and have what every other child will have at a party. you can find stories by other young reporters throughout the day on the bbc and on the bbc young reporter website — bbc. co. uk/youngreporter.

all the passengers and crew onboard a virgin flight from barbados were put into quarantine after landing at gatwick after widespread sickness on board. around 30 people reported feeling unwell during the flight and were taken for treatment on landing. virgin say the aircraft had been chartered by a cruise company and was not a scheduled flight. a spokeswoman suggested that the problem had not originated on the plane. earlier we heard from one of the passengers who was on—board the flight, phill brown, who explained what happened. about an hour, an hour and a half before we were due to land there was an announcement that said some passengers had taken ill on the plane and they asked if any other passengers were feeling unwell. and then when we landed, we noticed that there was a lot of emergency service vehicles — ambulance, police, and a fire engine, bizarrely. and then theyjust advised that due to the number of people

who were taken ill on the plane, we weren't going to disembark, we had to wait for further announcements. we were lucky enough to be in the upper class section and we didn't see anyone in our area who was ill, but we heard about five members of the crew were taken ill and two of the girls who'd been looking after us, we didn't see them for a few hours. we just thought they were busy elsewhere but, actually, they had taken ill as well, so we didn't see them for a while. we didn't see any passengers ill. there was a lot of confusion about what it actually was. we heard that some people were... had coughs, sore throats. we had some talk about vomiting and diarrhoea and there was also some skin irritations, in particular one of the crew members said she had a rash on her arm. but we didn't see any of those symptoms. there was a lot of, obviously, on the plane there was a lot of coughs anyway, but we didn't see anyone taken ill or needing any

medical treatment in the area we sat on the plane. the most critically—injured patients in rural areas are at risk because the ambulance service is failing to reach them within the required response time. an ambulance should arrive within 6 to 8 minutes of being called — depending on where you live. but a bbc investigation has found that some rural communities wait more than 20 minutes on average for 999 crews or trained members of the community to get to cases that are life—threatening like cardiac arrests. john owen reports. ambulance service, is the patient breathing? when dealing with high—priority emergencies in a place like rural herefordshire, the challenges can be considerable. i personally liken it to playing a game of chess, really, in that you're constantly moving people around, trying to get to the patients in the quickest possible time. for the most serious emergencies, seconds count. figures obtained by the bbc show that in rural communities, critically injured patients

or patients with life—threatening conditions like cardiac arrest wait an average of four minutes longer for an ambulance than patients in urban areas. time that could mean the difference between a life saved and a life lost. ambulances are supposed to attend the most serious emergencies in an average of seven minutes depending on where you live in the uk. and while in urban areas ambulance services often outperform that target, the bbc‘s analysis found that in some rural areas the average wait time is over 20 minutes. this care home manager knows first—hand how serious delayed arrivals can be. we have had an incident where a resident has had a brain haemorrhage. that took 45 minutes to arrive. suspected stroke, that was 45 minutes. and chest pains, even with the first responder we had to wait 25 minutes. anthony marsh, chair of the association of ambulance chief executives,

acknowledges that emergencies in rural areas are sometimes harder to reach quickly. in those examples, it's important to understand the excellent service that our control room staff deliver to provide pre—arrival advice while the ambulance and while the paramedics are en route. ambulance services also point to other methods that they use to reach patients in rural areas quickly, like community first—responders, volunteers who work to provide first aid to emergency call—outs, and partnering with police and fire services. john owen, bbc news. jamie is here — in a moment he will have the latest business news. first a look at the headlines on afternoon live... a father is found guilty of organising an acid attack on his three—year—old son. five men are also convicted of involvement in the plot. muslim convert lewis ludlow is jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years for planning a terror attack on oxford street in london. the prime minister announces a summit to tackle rising knife

crime on britain's streets, but the labour leader accuses her of trying to keep communities "safe on the cheap". here's your business headlines on afternoon live... former nissan boss carlos ghosn has left prison injapan on bail, more than three months after being arrested on charges of financial misconduct. a tokyo court made the surprise decision to allow his release on tuesday, setting bail atjust under £7 million. the us trade gap with the rest of the world jumped to a 10—year high of more than $621 billion last year. that's a major blow to president donald trump who has been trying to dip the trade balance more in favour of america. french supercar maker bugatti has unveiled the world's most expensive new car, sold to an unnamed buyer for at least £9.5m. with engine power about 20 times a ford fiesta, the car was built to celebrate

bugatti's110th anniversary. you have never carried cash in your life but it seems you are not alone. this is the access to cash review which says the cash system is close to falling apart. as such what it means, if it is left to market forces cash will disappear pretty fast with in the next 20 years, and as it does so people will be left stranded holding cash not able to use it as atms disappear and people start to not accept cash so they say infrastructure needs to be put into place to manage the decline over a

long time. is it legalto not place to manage the decline over a long time. is it legal to not accept cash? there is a public which works without cash and they say it is brilliant. —— there is a pub. he says security problems have gone away because no one is going to burgle the place and he says he doesn't have to tot up the amount of takings at the end of the day. his customers have gone. no, he's very it works. even the buskers on the streets have got contactless. let's talk to natalie ceeney, independent chair, access to cash review. the idea of the cash system falling apart, what does that look like? we are starting to see the cracks already and we have seen lots of branch closures and we are now starting to see atm closures, for the first time in a decade. shops and pubs and coffee shops are also not taking cash and they are the early warning signs but that is the

tip of the iceberg. uk cash infrastructure costs £5 billion a year to run infrastructure costs £5 billion a yearto run in infrastructure costs £5 billion a year to run in britain and it is almost run by commercial organisations and the crude economics are that the costs are fairly fixed but the income is going down and so just as in the high street as people shop more online, retailers struggle to survive, so we are starting to see the closure of places that —— closure of the infrastructure that supports just cash. i have seen this happen? that people don't have to take cash? there is no law that requires it, and we don't think it would work if there is a law. the idea of legislating that every coffee shop has to take cash is implausible, but we have looked at what is driving businesses to not take cash and every small business we have spoken to, it is the fact that branches are closing so they have to drive for a

lot of miles to deposit cash and they have to queue, and the costs of handling cash are going up, because they have to keep it in the tail is long and there are security issues and insurance costs —— keep it in details on the. we need to make it easier for small businesses to deposit cash, so they will still ta ke deposit cash, so they will still take cash while consumers need it. you need cash tills, for a start. you need cash tills, for a start. you need cash tills, for a start. you need to force people to keep in this kind of retro infrastructure? it is not really a retro infrastructure, our conclusion is thatjust under 20% infrastructure, our conclusion is that just under 20% of the population don't have any choice but to use cash so we population don't have any choice but to use cash so we are population don't have any choice but to use cash so we are going from the market forces issue to more of a social exclusion issue and the big question is, yes, we are going digital, six out of every ten transactions were in cash ten years ago but now it is three out of every

turn. if we let market forces take their course we will be left with populations who can't get cash and can't spend cash but somehow they are expected to function in society. is this a government thing or a finance industry thing? both we need the government to step in and there are many parts of society which we protect, we protect the ability of people to post letters and receive post and we think giving a guarantee that people can access cash is important. we also need industry to think creatively and use innovation to create the infrastructure which is lower cost and more sustainable, think beyond atms, think about where an atm is not viable, what about getting convenience stores to be able to give cash back? this helps to give the society this aspect and

keeps it living. natalie, thanks for joining us. nothing retro in the studio, my friend. we cannot see the markets. there you 90, we cannot see the markets. there you go, technology, we rest our case. that's all the business news. the singer r kelly — who's facing charges of sexual abuse — has angrily denied the allegations in an interview with an american tv network. the grammy—award winner is facing charges in relation to four women ? three of whom are alleged to have been under—age at the time. lizo mzimba reports. # i believe i can fly... he is one of r&b's most influential artist, selling tens of millions of albums. he has also been the subject of nemerous allegations of sexual abuse, something he has consistently denied. he is currently facing sexual abuse charges involving four women,

three of whom would have been under age at the time of the alleged incidents. it follows a documentary, survivng r kelly, which accused him of manipulating, abusing, and holding women against their will. the singer told cbs news that the allegations in the documentary are not true. why would these women say the same thing about you, that you are abusive and controlling? you can start a rumour with a guy like me just like that. all you have to do is push a button on your phone and say so and so did this to me, and if you get any traction from that, if you are able to write a book from that or get a reality show, then any girl i had a relationship with in the past and it did not work out, she could say the same thing. at times his denials became emotional. you just don't want

to believe the truth! the singer, who was cleared of allegations over child abuse images in 2008, insists he has never believed — behaved illegally with underage children. have you ever had sex with children? never. it is so hard to believe that based on all that i have read. i'm going to tell you something, what women have said about me, no one is allowed to be mad at me. so they are lying? absolutely. r kelly has pleaded not guilty to the sexual abuse charges he currently faces in chicago. england's women will be heading to this summer's football world cup in france as one of the favourites to win after beating japan 3—0 last night. their win in florida is arguably the biggest success to date for the lionesses and comes at a perfect time. jo currie was watching the match in florida.

cheering england are lighting up the world stage, lifting the shebelieves cup, their biggest trophy to date. and what's more, in a world cup year. an occasion to celebrate. champions, against the odds. obviously, we're delighted. as you can see from the celebrations in the changing rooms, there's a lot of music and dancing. so, i think for us, we are tired, but at the same time we are looking forward to what's to come over the next few months. but most importantly, enjoy tonight. ready to pounce, the lionesses started with confidence, encapsulated by lucy staniforth‘s strike from outside the area, which settled the nerves early on. minutes later, and england were at it again. this time veteran karen carney with a pinpoint header to put them further ahead. beth mead, one of the younger players who will be desperate to book her place at this summers world cup, showed exactly why she is worth her spot with her second eye—catching goal of the tournament.

after the change of ends, the lionesses continued to hunt for more goals. chioma ubogagu going closest, but they couldn't add to their 3—0 lead. not that it mattered. the manner of england's performance in this match and throughout the tournament underlines this team's coming—of—age. you enjoy moments like this because you know what, you don't get many moments in your life where you get your hands on a trophy. it's my first as a manager, it's the first for some of these younger players. and we're going to enjoy tonight. the thing about lifting trophies is it raises expectations. but the more you get your hands on the silverware the better you handle the pressure. jo currie, bbc news, tampa. time for a look at the weather. here's mel coles. it is that time of the year when the weather can throw almost everything and anything our way and that is the case as we head through the day today. we have had rain, a lot of cloud

around and we have blustery showers in the forecast. it is courtesy of an area of low pressure which is driving our weather at the moment, draped around we have weather fronts producing the rain. through the morning and afternoon it has become more confined to parts of scotland but over higher ground it is more wintry with snow over the hills and showers feeding into the west of england and wales. we will track that further east. generally it is quite windy but especially around the showers where we could have hail and thunder. quite a contrast in the temperatures, double figures towards the south but in scotland we are in mid—single figures at best, a sign of things to come. as we head into the evening our area of low pressure drifts further east and the rain wrapped around it pushes back into parts of northern ireland and north—west england, and a few showers down to the far south—west of england, and a few clear spells towards the south and east of england. it won't be cold because the winds will keep the temperatures above freezing. as we head into thursday, the area of low pressure drifts further east and that opens up

the gates to much cooler air to push in on a north—westerly wind, and that is a colder direction to be coming from. we still have rain and showers feeding in through parts of scotland which could be a bit wintry again over the hills, even over the hills even over the hills of north—west england it could be wintry at times. further showers for eastern england but even into the midlands, and we will notice a difference in the temperatures, down a bit on today. overnight it will be cold, the winds dropping out so we are expecting a widespread frost with temperatures close to, if not a touch below freezing, so mist and fog perhaps first thing on friday morning for parts of scotland. under a ridge of high pressure things start to settle down but briefly because the next weather system begins to show its hand pushing into south—west england and wales and north—west england as well. it will remain cool as we head through the day on friday. and in fact into the weekend. rain at times, some bright intervals but also gales

and the chance of some hill snow.
