9:57 am
and the a—roads as well. sojust bear that in mind. travel disruption is quite likely in places as this band of snow becomes particularly slow=moving across parts of wales and the midlands as we go through the day. the snow tends to clear away for northern ireland, scotland and northern england, sunshine and a few snow showers. but bear this in mind. we are likely to see some transport disruption for a time across wales, parts of the midlands and parts of southern england on account of the snow and the ice. overnight tonight, the snow will finally peter out and pull away southwards, and with skies clearing behind that, it's going to be a cold night, one of the colder nights we've seen recently across parts of western england and wales with a really sharp frost, minus five or so in birmingham. just about nationwide, there's a risk of some icy stretches, then, to take us into monday. but monday promises to be a much sunnier day across england and wales. a lot of dry weather here, although there will be showers in north—west england, again some of these will be falling as snow and a few showers as well for northern ireland and scotland. again, there's more than likely going to be some snow.

temperatures on the cold side — five, maybe six degrees celsius. but there are signs of a change towards the middle part of the week as this atlantic weather system moves in. now, this eventually will bring milder air, but it's moving into colder air as we head towards tuesday. so something of a battle zone set up across the country. now, we may well see a little bit of snow on the forward edge of this band of precipitation. if we do see any snow across wales and southern england, it will turn back to rain as that milderairworks in, with a reservoir of colder air across the northeast. well, the snow could last longer here, bringing some significant accumulations, but ultimately it will turn milder for just about everyone as the week goes by. the cold air, though, still loitering across the north and east.
