in aberdeen, it may not get above freezing through the afternoon.as we head through saturday evening, that wet weather moves into the southwest of england, maybe some snow over higher ground but that snow developing more widely as our weather system moves into wales, the midlands. over some of the highest ground here, we could see 30cm of snow, maybe up to 40cm eventually across the high ground of the pennines, that snowfall moving its way into northern england. but notice what happens down to the south by the end of the night. 12 degrees there in plymouth for sunday morning, some much milder air to the south and so, some of what falls from the sky will be turning back to rain across parts of wales, the midlands — that could give ice for a time. further snow, particularly across higher ground in northern england but maybe to low levels for a time. some snow into southern and eastern scotland, perhaps just clipping into the southeast of northern ireland. some big temperature contrasts on sunday afternoon — cold in the north, much milder further south

we have some delays in belfast international, in birmingham and in aberdeen but they appear not to be in the pennines, over one foot 30 centimetres of snow there. also in mid—to north wales, and on higher ground, scotland not so badly affected although the borders area, basically south and east of edinburgh is included in the warnings. in northern ireland, they are saying the mountains of antrim and mourne, they could get about 12 centimetres of snow there. it is very much a question of prepare for yourjourney, consider if it is necessary, you will be far less at risk if you were to take the train rather than to drive. simon calder advises that while it's best to avoid road travel at this time, train journeys are not guaranteed to be free of disruption either. there are lots of people completing long journeys today because they are returning from wherever they spent christmas and new year, ready to start the working year on monday. very busy weekend, so far, we have seen the sort of disruption that pops up any time. for example on the east coast main line there was a broken down train

more sunshine further north but temperatures know better than freezing in aberdeen, maybe 5 degrees furtherhe midlands and northern england, over higher ground, maybe 40 centimetres over the tops of the pennines through sunday but notice, some of that at low levels is starting to turn back to rain as a milder air taxi and so it will be an awkward mix through the day. snow into eastern scotland and eastern northern ireland and cold in the north but much milder for their south. what will wind? milder, cold air? this chart tells a story, the weather system is worlds away, cold air digs back and so it stays cold throughout next week and there should be a fair bit of sunshine but still the chance of some wintry showers. if you are travelling this weekend, bear in mind the risk of snow, ice and disruption. that's it. now on bbc one, let's join our colleagues for the news where you are. have a peaceful night. this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines for you at the top of the hour, which is straight after this programme.
