parts of scotland and we will see freezing fog patches develop in northern ireland and parts of north—west englandrth wales and the midlands, so watch out because they could be stubborn to clear and some areas stay cold and grey all day but the most are cold and sunny day and further wintry showers in northern scotland and northern ireland later in the day some rain pushing in two southern areas of england and some of that will be snow over the high ground. further north we can see it will be a cold day where ever you are an temperatures to a three degrees at best despite more sunshine and as we head through wednesday evening most of the weather front will be across the channel into northern france but we could see sleet and snow on the south downs and into the moors of the south—west, and may be a dusting of snow. it could be a bit further north or south, so stay tuned to the forecast but it clears away and remain firmly in the cold air for thursday and into friday but those cold nights continuing and the risk of sleet and snow in areas but you will see from the weekend onwards temperatures slowl

you may find a little bit of lingering fog in northern ireland and parts of north—west england.t five degrees, colder than that where we've got lying snow. as we head through the evening and overnight, once again, the wintry showers continue across the north—east. brisk winds here. another weather front coming in across the south—west will introduce rain. we could well see some snow on its leading edge. and you can see from the colours here, it's going to be a cold night. there's potential for —20 somewhere with a bit of height and lying snow in the highlands. widely we're looking at —5 to —10. locally, we're looking at between —10 and also —16 or —17. tomorrow, then, our weather front doesn't move terribly far. it will still bring in all this cloud into the south—west. also some patchy rain, maybe a little bit of sleet on some of the moors. a lot of dry weather as well. any fog that's formed could take its time to lift. some of it again could linger for much of the day. and temperature wise, freezing in glasgow, to about 7 in plymouth, under that veil of cloud. then, as we head

england and south wales, where it will be a sunny day on friday. a bit more cloud elsewhere. a few showers around and rain and sleet along the coast in north wales, north westsnow in northern scotland, but still, for many, a dry and bright afternoon, at least not as windy as today. so the wind chill won't be quite as marked, but some will stay subzero throughout. frost and ice again an issue for saturday morning, as well as some dense freezing fog. a bright start for many, a few showers in the north and west of scotland, again wintry in nature, but cloud amounts will increase from the west through the day. that will suppress the rise in temperature and later on, as this weather system comes in, we could see some snowfall briefly for southern england and south wales before it turns back to rain. and this is the key to the weekend, what happens with this area of low pressure? the northern edge will see some snowfall, on the southern edge, we will see some rain. potentially some disruptive snowfall in the hills of northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland, could see as much as a foot of snow in places, but there will be some big contrasts. so th

weather, then, coming up for most, but there will be some rain around to start the day across north—west england damp start to the day here. there will be some breaks in the cloud. northern and eastern scotland looking pretty good for some sunshine, and those sunnier skies should push into north—east england as the day goes by. a few breaks, as well, quite likely across parts of the south east. high pressure then stays with us as we head towards the middle part of the week, and as that high pressure becomes more centred over england and wales, the winds start to fall light, and that's a recipe for some fog to develop, as we head into wednesday morning, and some of that fog will be with us all day. where that happens, yes, it could be quite cool, but for most of the uk, we should see some bright or sunny spells coming through, a bit of rain from another weather frontjust edges into the far north—west of scotland. heading into thursday, again, we could see a few mist and fog patches around, the feed of southwesterly winds continuing to bring in some pretty mild weather. most of us should stay dry,
