142 flood warnings currently in force. the flooding situation hasn t resolved itselfjust yet but it will improve i think as we go through the next few days, the weather largely dry. today it is cold and across parts of east anglia and south east england, the chance of a few flurries. we saw some landing on iain watson earlier. not very exciting snow, most of it is just big chunky flakes, not settling. worse case scenario, you could see a covering, an odd centimetre and the hazard with that is things could turn icy on roads and pavements. today there is a lot of cloud feeding in on a brisk and cold easterly wind. we talked about the showers working into east anglia and south east england, not the only place to see showers. things could turn icy in the central belt. a few showers for eastern scotland and some for northern ireland during the course of the day. for the most part, the show is coming on as rain to stop cold, around 4 5 pretty overnight tonight, the main hazard i think it s t
greatest footballers that ever played. a great footballer and a great man in himself. we won actually! a bit of a bonus. thank you very much. memories of 50 years ago. now we can have a look at the weather. hello again. the weather feels a lot colder today. yesterday we had cloudy, wet and windy weather, but the winds were coming in from a mild direction. southwesterly winds pushing temperatures widely into double figures. but for some today, there s a nine degrees celsius drop in temperatures. for example, boulmer, 14 yesterday, about five degrees celsius this afternoon. now, at the moment, the most snow that we ve got lying on the ground is still to be found across northern scotland. but we have seen some snow falling from the skies a lot further south. some big chunky flakes here in worcestershire earlier on today. now, this afternoon, we ve seen some wintry showers push across northern ireland. they re heading into southern

now, at the moment, the most snow that we ve got lying on the ground is still to be found across northern scotland. but we have seen some snow falling from the skies a lot further south. some big chunky flakes here in worcestershire earlier on today. now, this afternoon, we ve seen some wintry showers push across northern ireland. they re heading into southern scotland and northern england now. it s cold enough for some of that snow to get right down to sea level, but there could be the odd a centimetre or two over the hills. from there, those wintry showers will push away southwards and eastwards across the midlands, east anglia and southeast england, but then the skies clear later in the night and that will allow temperatures to plunge. it s going to be a really cold night with a widespread frost. and where we ve seen those showers, well, there is a risk of some icy stretches as we start the day on wednesday. so frosty and icy first thing, but plenty of morning sunshine. we are going
