cloud and rain gathers out to the west, some of it really heavy across north—west england, wales, south—westposed coast. but central and south—eastern england will stay dry and bright and still relatively warm with 11—12 degrees. a colder story in scotland and where that frontal system then bumps into that cold air. that's when we're likely to see the risk of significant snow for a time, and it may well cause some disruption even at lower levels. now, it will gradually turn back to rain as we start to see some milder air pushing in. but as i say, there could be some issues. keep abreast of the weather forecast and tune into a bbc local radio station on sunday. the low pressure still centred up into the north west, slightly milder start for most of us, 2—9 degrees first thing on sunday morning. but that low sitting in the north—west will continue to push in a frequent rush of showers for our new year's eve. so the showers out to the west and some of these will gradually feed their way steadily eastwards as we go through the afternoon. sheltered eastern areas, staying relatively dry and bright
