Rain and
hill snow have become largely confined to Scotland and northern England, while
much of eastern England remains damp and cloudy with patchy light rain.
Northern
Ireland, Wales and western England are seeing a brighter afternoon, with sunny
spells and scattered blustery showers – some of which may be heavy at times.
The
strongest winds are now mainly confined to western parts of the UK, with the
highest gusts around Irish Sea coasts.
These will
become increasingly focused across Northern Ireland and south-west Scotland
through the afternoon where severe gales will continue for a time, easing
gradually during this evening.
The Met
Office amber wind warning is due to expire at 21:00 GMT.
As we move
into tonight, Storm Chandra will clear northwards, bringing clearer skies and
lighter winds, allowing temperatures to fall.
As a result,
icy stretches are likely to develop on untreated surfaces, with slippery
pavements in places.
Met Office
yellow ice warnings will be in force for large parts of England, north Wales
and southern Scotland, coming in at midnight, and a yellow ice warning for Northern Ireland comes into force at 03:00.
Both will remain in place until 10:00 GMT on Wednesday.
