sports news at our website — that's bbc.comsport.but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello there. the weather looks set to cause a few more problems over the coming days. first of all, well, the risk of flooding hasn't diminished at all. we've got over 100 flood warnings currently in force, and we've also got a severe flood warning that's been issued. that's been put on a stretch of the river severn, this time in shrewsbury, in shropshire, and it's here later on this afternoon that we could see the river approach record levels. and there could be further flooding over the coming days. we have got more rain in the forecast as well. the other thing that you might encounter as we head into the first part of the morning is this. yes, there is the potential for some disruptive snow. let me explain. it's been getting chilly across northern parts
1:56 am
of the country, whereas in the south, you can see some mild air here. temperatures 10 degrees orso in cardiff. it's mild because it's turned wet and windy, and this band of heavy rain is moving across wales and the midlands, bumping into the cold air. it's turned into snow across the high ground of northern england, and across the hills of scotland as well. we could see the snow come down to lower elevations for a time, just in time for monday morning rush hour. so there is the potential for some disruption, and i suspect over the high ground, we could be looking at something like 5—10 cm. that's not our only problem, mind you. this band of rain sweeps its way southwards and eastwards, as it does so, could bring about 40—50 mm of rain across the high ground of wales, and that sets the scene for further flooding problems later on in the week, even as the rain clears through. blustery showers follow, a windy day everywhere, and the winds will make you feel really particular cold in scotland. a bitter feel to the weather here. now, heading into tuesday and wednesday, high pressure is to the south—west of the uk, low pressure to the north—west, north—east, and that maintains north—westerly winds
1:57 am
across the country. and it's those north—westerly winds that will feed in showers. now, the showers will be quite widespread, particularly across western areas, as we head into the afternoon. some of them will have some wintry flavour to them, particularly across northern areas, over the high ground. yes, there'll be some sunshine between. but it's a similar looking weather picture as we head into wednesday — again, a cold north—westerly wind feeding the showers in. the showers particular frequent across the north—west of scotland, northern ireland, running down through the irish sea to affect north wales, cheshire, merseyside, greater manchester and the north—west midlands, all the while feeling cold in the wind, as well. so quite a lot going on over the next few days alone. yes, there are concerns we could see some disruptive snow through this morning. heavy rain around as well, and that's likely to cause some further flooding problems as we go through the next few days.
