the forecasts for the Southeast region are quite good, much better than they used to be.

What a crap local forecast just now on BBC One! They got the newsreader to read it off an autocue, and it was completely wrong! 
What was wrong with getting a national forecaster to do a recorded one like the past few days, if there's no local forecaster's available?

I was amazed quite recently by a late-evening broadcast by popular N-W favourite Rob McElwee (can't remember which evening unfortunately). It went out to 4 days ahead, used wind arrows and 2 pressure charts and included some basic explanations of what was going on, and told us what the weather was going to be in quite a quirky style. If that's what his broadcasts are normally like I can see why he is so popular.

BBC latest forecast going for snow into NE Scotland Friday,so is this some change because I though all areas in the N and E of the country were at risk.
The BBC do like like to underplay cold weather so it comes as no surprise expect much more widespread snow by Friday.

The forecast you saw is called Weatherview and goes on the news channel at 9:25 and 9:55 pm every night. It's later aired again by BBC One somewhere around 1 am, I think, the timeslot changes every day.
