\"\"Stav Danaos
BBC Weather<\/p>\n

Rain and
\nhill snow have become largely confined to Scotland and northern England, while
\nmuch of eastern England remains damp and cloudy with patchy light rain.<\/p>\n

Northern
\nIreland, Wales and western England are seeing a brighter afternoon, with sunny
\nspells and scattered blustery showers – some of which may be heavy at times.<\/p>\n

The
\nstrongest winds are now mainly confined to western parts of the UK, with the
\nhighest gusts around Irish Sea coasts.<\/p>\n

These will
\nbecome increasingly focused across Northern Ireland and south-west Scotland
\nthrough the afternoon where severe gales will continue for a time, easing
\ngradually during this evening.<\/p>\n

The Met
\nOffice amber wind warning is due to expire at 21:00 GMT. <\/p>\n

As we move
\ninto tonight, Storm Chandra will clear northwards, bringing clearer skies and
\nlighter winds, allowing temperatures to fall.<\/p>\n

As a result,
\nicy stretches are likely to develop on untreated surfaces, with slippery
\npavements in places.<\/p>\n

Met Office
\nyellow ice warnings will be in force for large parts of England, north Wales
\nand southern Scotland, coming in at midnight, and a yellow ice warning for Northern Ireland comes into force at 03:00. <\/p>\n

Both will remain in place until 10:00 GMT on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What does the latest forecast show?published at 15:05 GMT 15:05 GMT Stav DanaosBBC Weather Rain and hill snow…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":393766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-393765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=393765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/393766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
