00:00Hello, it's pretty grey, murky, gloomy out there today. It's also fairly chilly as well,
00:06all because whilst we do have high pressure nearby, it's sat just to the northeast of
00:11us and as a result it is bringing an easterly wind in. As we've discussed in other output,
00:17the easterly wind isn't as cold as you might normally expect at this time of year. Nonetheless,
00:22it is bringing a chilly feel to things and lots of cloud, even some rain, sleet and snow
00:26over some places. There's also a system that's going to affect parts of the southeast as
00:31we go through this evening, so a bit of rain, sleet and snow for a time and then as we go
00:34through tomorrow and into Wednesday, there's another system coming up from the southwest
00:38so we could have some rain affecting some southwestern parts for a time but generally,
00:43we're sticking with the largely cloudy theme with our air coming in from the east. Taking
00:47a look at a bit more detail and here's the picture for this afternoon and across eastern
00:52parts there will be some rain, some sleet, some hill snow, particularly over the Pennines
00:56and any higher ground across parts of Scotland. But also, as I mentioned, in the southeast
01:01we are having a system pushing its way in so we could see some rain is quite likely
01:05and also some sleet and perhaps a bit of snow for a time this evening, albeit it's only
01:10going to be light and shouldn't cause any problems. The best of any sunshine through
01:13today will be across western parts of Scotland. Here, it's actually looking pretty bright.
01:17Otherwise, lots of cloud around. The further west you are, the greater chance you have
01:21of avoiding any showery rain, sleet and hill snow. Temperatures are a bit below average
01:26for the time of year and when you're stuck under the cloud and you factor in that easterly
01:29breeze, even though the wind's not especially strong, it is going to make it feel pretty
01:34chilly nonetheless. As we go through this evening, like I mentioned, we do have some
01:38wet weather across parts of the southeast. That starts to clear away. We keep with some
01:42showers coming in from the east and they will readily be falling as sleet or hill snow over
01:47any modest higher ground, some of them pushing a bit further westwards. Across western parts
01:52of Scotland, I'm expecting a bit more cloud through tonight than we saw last night. So
01:55temperatures got to around minus seven, minus eight last night. It's not going to be as
01:59cold through this coming night. Most places just about holding up a few degrees above
02:04freezing, but rural spots where we do get any clear skies, we are going to see a touch
02:09of frost developing. So a chilly start and a grey start for most of us through Tuesday
02:13morning. Also a bit damp towards eastern parts, still some outbreaks of rain, sleet
02:18and hill snow, particularly across parts of eastern Scotland, northeast England. Elsewhere,
02:23any shower rebirths are going to be pretty isolated as we go through the day. Staying
02:27cloudy for most of us, though, some glimmers of sunshine breaking out to the lee of high
02:30ground. So to the west of high ground, particularly across western parts of Scotland, perhaps
02:34the odd break further south as well. Like I mentioned, there is a system coming in from
02:38the southwest, so we may see some rain pushing into parts of Cornwall as we go through the
02:42afternoon and into the evening. Temperatures are looking similar today, perhaps a touch
02:47higher for some of us, but with some slightly lighter winds across the south in particular,
02:52it may feel slightly less chilly for most of us. Now as we go through much of the rest
02:57of this week, the cloudy theme continues. It is going to stay pretty cloudy, quite murky
03:01at times, and with that also fairly cold. As a result, we could see some further rain,
03:06sleet and snow. Showers most likely towards the north, rain most likely towards the southwest
03:12of the UK. But if you want more information about that, then do head to our YouTube channel
03:16where you will be able to get our week ahead forecast with Anna later on this afternoon.
03:20I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
