5:27 am
with highs of five to eight celsius. so, the wind direction starting to drag down that colder arctic air as we move through tuesday, particularly tuesday night into wednesday. so, for tuesday, the emphasis to the showers changes a little along those exposed north coasts, still running along the east coast, and some pushing down through the irish sea as well. in between, there will be some sunshine around on tuesday. still another cold day. now, those clear skies by day will lead to a very cold night. widespread temperatures down to minus two degrees, so a hard frost to greet pretty much all of us first thing on wednesday morning. and that's when we're going to start to see the risk of some snow showers, particularly into the far north of scotland. a veil of cloud sinking its way steadily south. central and southern areas, the best of the sunshine. but the met office has issued an early warning for snow on wednesday. we could see as much as 2—10cm
5:28 am
settling even at lower levels as we go through the day. and it's turning noticeably colder on wednesday, temperatures struggling just a few degrees above freezing. factor in the wind, probably feeling more like minus 2 to minus 3 along those exposed north—eastern areas. then, as we move into wednesday, we need to keep a close eye on the area of low pressure. the position of that low is going to influence where we're likely to see some wintry showers, but we could have some wintry showers through the south—west and potentially along that east coast. if the low tracks a little bit further west, there'll be more showers coming in further inland but, again, staying cold.
