england and wales, wintry showers clipping the far west of wales and a few snow showers down the north sea coast. the heaviest snow will continue to be focused across the north of scotland and northern ireland. it will stay cold in places, temperature is not expected to get above freezing. tomorrow evening, a line of snow showers forms across the irish sea affecting parts of north wales, merseyside, cheshire and the north midlands. the amount of snow will vary, but you could get a bit in a few areas. into friday, temperatures come up a little, and the showers piling into scotland will turn to rain or sleet, leaving the snow confined to hilly parts of the country. temperatures on the face of it a degree or to hire, not much in the way of change until we get to the weekend, when the south westerly winds will bring much milder air across the uk, but it won t only be mild but it will also be wild with gusts up to 70 mph. thanks, chris. and that s bbc news at ten. 0n bbc one, it s
