KEY (Partial transcript)

EVENIG: It's gonna be another cold evening ...

TONIGHT: and night. Frost will be coming probably across the UK and fog. We've got some thicker cloud at the moment that is running its way across central and eastern areas of England; so, despite things turning quite chilly in the next couple of hours across East Anglia and the south east, temperatures may actually nudge up a little here by the end of the night

EARLY MORNING TOMORROW: … but if any of the rain that comes out of these clouds hits the cold surfaces there could be some ice the first thing tomorrow. Certainly as looking out we could see a few patches of ice across and Northern Ireland in this moisture line here as temperatures may check well below freezing tonight.

But TOMORROW, well, a lot more clouds around in general than ; a pretty grey day, some patchy outbreaks of rain running their way south, crossing then to Wales; perhaps even turning to sleet or snow across the higher ground for a while and feeling cold in the chilly breeze.

NEXT WEEK: in fact for the week ahead that really is the theme

FROM MID WEEK: if anything though getting colder still from mid week always as we pick up a bitter easterly wind.
