at the moment we have 20 centimetres of snow across parts of north wales, 19 centimetres on the groundnt that is just edging in. the snow is only going to be affecting hills, so low down, we are looking at outbreaks of rain moving in tonight. across northern england and scotland, above 200 metres elevation you could get a few centimetres, across some of the highest hills above 400 metres, as much as 5—10 centimetres is possible before milder air works in and the snow turns back to rain. it is going to be a mild night for most, 5—8 degrees by dawn, the frost becoming limited to northern areas of scotland. by sunday that weather system continues to push away. the next one will be working in through the day with strengthening south—westerly winds, driving up some mild air. for most of the uk we should see some sunshine for a time during the morning, with a thaw setting in place and later on in the day the cloud thickens in the west, we see outbreaks of rain moving in, some of it heavy. look at these temperatures, 10—14 celsius, which will melt the snow quickly where it is still lying over

through monday night you could see some snow over the hills of northern ireland, northern england and north walesconditions heading into tuesday morning. certainly there will be a widespread frost on tuesday, and the dramatically different feel to the day. it is going to fuel freezing cold again and why it �*s because we have polar air returning southwards on tuesday and that will dramatically drop temperatures. after a cold, frosty and locally as started the day there will be sunshine, with wintry showers across western areas frequent, with some further accumulating hill snow across northern areas of scotland. temperatures, you can forget about double figures. these are the temperatures will have through the afternoon ranging from 2—7 celsius but feeling colder than that given the brisk winds. we will have a widespread frost to start the day on wednesday, sunny start, then clouding over from the west with snow showers continuing in scotland. through wednesday afternoon, we have a band of rain pushing into that cold air, with a spell of snow probably limited to the hills in northern ireland, rema
