i will take someone else then. fine. that s it from us for this week, thanks for watching, see you soon. bye bye. hello. after what s been a relatively quiet day weather wise, the winds are now starting to ratchet up across the northern half of the uk. in fact, those strong winds across scotland s over the tops of the pennines and into northeast england could well cause some travel disruption as we head into friday morning. so what s going on? well, on the earlier satellite picture, we can see this stripe of cloud out in the atlantic. and just about here, we ve started to see an area of low pressure developing and that low is deepening as it pushes eastwards. it s been named storm 0tto by the danish weather service because of the impacts it s expected
friday starts with something rather more turbulent. some strong winds, particularly across scotland, the tops of the pennines and the northeast of england. disruption to travel very likely indeed. it s all because of this area of low pressure that s been named by the danish weather service storm 0tto, because of the impact it s likely to have in denmark. but even for us, notice lots of white lines on that chart, lots of isobars. some very strong winds, not least across scotland. gusts of 80mph in exposed spots in the north for a time. more broadly, gusts of 65 75mph. but also very windy through the morning over the tops of the pennines and in northeast england. gusts, potentially, of 75mph here, so for high sided vehicles on trans pennine routes, that could make conditions very difficult indeed. now, as we go through the day, the winds only slowly easing. this band of cloud and increasingly patchy rain sinking south. brighter skies following behind, but more rain later
of the police and other services, so i m pleased to hear that, but it seems to me that the statement sent out yesterday has had the opposite effect. and i hope the police reflect upon that, not only in this case but on future cases, and while i understand there has been wild speculation regarding the disappearance of nicola bulley, which many of us do not want to speculate about it all, i don t think it s appropriate to do so, intimate private details which pry into her private life are rife speculation and should not have been put into the public sphere, in my view. now it s time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. after a relatively quiet thursday weather wise, things are set to turn a lot livelier tonight and into tomorrow. it s due to an area of low pressure that s been named storm 0tto by the danish weather service for us across scotland, the pennines and east england.
you have been watching newsday. stay with us. hello there. the winds are really picking up overnight. we re expecting some travel disruption and perhaps some damage across northern parts of the uk where the winds will be strongest, particularly over scotland, over the pennines and in the north east of england with the peak of the wind strength expected during friday morning. it s all due to this deepening area of low pressure currently heading to the north of scotland. that is storm 0tto that will sweep its way down into scandinavia. it s the first named storm of the season, although it was actually named by the danish met service. it ll be a very windy start to friday morning, a very mild start as well. the rain in the south being replaced by showers, but it s the strength of the wind. that s the story, could be touching 80 mile an hour in the northern isles for a while. and generally across scotland,
