some further icy stretches and widely we are looking at lows of 4 or minus five degrees. some places will get colder than that. so, fog is likely to affect some southeastern parts of england through the first part of friday. the other feature of friday s weather is this weather system. which is likely to bring a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. across central parts of scotland. that could cause some disruption. it could certainly give rise to some ice. it s another cold day but maybe not quite as cold. that is a sign of things to come. by saturday, we start to shift the wind direction. we start to pick up these south westerly winds. still some showers around, especially in the west and northwest. some of those will still be wintry to stop those temperatures some of those will still be wintrybut those temperatures beginning to creep up. but as we get into sunday we see this big change. this frontal system driving its way from the southwest. that will bring heavy rain,

here s nick miller. an amazing show of the aurora borealis has been captured in northumberland. different there is more cloud around so limit your expectations. cloud and rain from the north west and more wind and rain as the week goes on. northern ireland has seen the rain so far, this afternoon that will ease. it is into western scotland and will push across central parts of scotland. most of england and wales will stay dry, maybe a few showers in the south west later. but it is a mild afternoon with hazy sunshine at times. tonight, we are going to bring another spell of rain across northern ireland. look at the bright colours it will be heavy, particularly into western scotland late at night and into glasgow tomorrow with up to 50 millimetres of rain that could bring disruption. a milder night. we start wet
now it s time for a look at the weather with ben. hello there. no rapid changes on the way in our weather, the sort of weather we have now is the sort of weather we will have for the rest of the week and that means a lot of cloud with occasional spots of drizzle, but equally that cloud breaking at times to give some spells of sunshine. now what s going on is we have high pressure up to the north west of us, the winds around high pressure flow in a clockwise direction. and that is dragging a lot of cloud in our direction, but there are some breaks in that cloud. you can see from the earlier satellite picture that we ve had some breaks across parts of northern ireland, central parts of scotland, for example. these areas seeing some spells of sunshine through the rest of the day. elsewhere, the cloud breaking here and there to give some glimmers of brightness, equally thick enough at times to give the odd spot of drizzle. a fairly keen north easterly breeze, so it does feel quite cool whe
