00:00 Hello, the weather front that's been lingering across the UK for a few days now is going
00:05 to continue for a little while yet. But you can see it's not just bringing some rain,
00:09 it's also forming the boundary between warmer air towards the south and something a little
00:13 bit cooler, a bit more fresher towards the north. It is going to try to push a little
00:18 bit further northwards as we go through the end of the week and then through the weekend
00:22 it's actually going to start to break up and clear away. We will then have a bit of high
00:26 pressure towards the north but towards the south we are going to drag in something perhaps
00:31 thundery from the south. As we look through the rest of Thursday and you can see that
00:35 front lying across central parts of England and Wales, like I said it does edge further
00:40 northwards so turning wet across northern England, southern Scotland and Northern Ireland
00:44 through the early hours of Friday, staying clearer towards the far north west of Scotland
00:48 and here it could turn a little chilly, temperatures perhaps dropping to around 2 or 3 Celsius,
00:53 also some clear skies towards the south. As we go through Friday morning itself then,
00:58 a wet start to the day here across this area, northern England, southern Scotland, Northern
01:03 Ireland. The rain is going to be quite persistent through much of the day, it won't always be
01:07 heavy but some heavy outbreaks are likely so we could see some totals building up, particularly
01:11 across parts of south west Scotland and eastern Northern Ireland. To the north of this we
01:16 are going to see the cloud building somewhat and the risk of a few showers. Meanwhile for
01:20 central southern England and Wales, plenty of fine sunny weather here and temperatures
01:24 getting into the mid-twenties. That front is not going to change much position as we
01:28 go through the end of the day so still southern Scotland in particular staying stuck under
01:32 that rain as we go through Friday night into Saturday morning which is why those totals
01:37 are likely to build up. Further north north west again some clear skies allowing temperatures
01:41 to drop perhaps a touch lower than through Thursday night. Meanwhile across England and
01:45 Wales there will be some clear skies but also some pockets of mist and fog. They should
01:50 clear quite quickly first thing on Saturday morning and so for the bulk of England and
01:54 Wales Saturday looks like a largely dry day with some bright sunny spells. The front like
02:00 I mentioned before is breaking up and clearing away so places which have been stuck under
02:04 the front for a little while by then will turn drier and brighter as we go into the
02:08 afternoon and a good deal of sunshine perhaps across much of Scotland and north north west
02:12 and parts of Northern Ireland too. There will be some humid air across the south so temperatures
02:17 likely to be peaking around 26, 27 Celsius perhaps but noticeably fresher further north.
02:23 It's worth bearing in mind with that humid air we could see some showers developing as
02:27 we go into the afternoon but it's into Sunday when we're really going to see some thundery
02:31 activity coming up from the south initially across parts of the south west spreading northwards
02:36 as we go through the day. We could see 30 to 60 millimetres of rain perhaps in some
02:40 places most likely like I said towards the south west but generally many places at risk
02:45 of seeing some thunderstorms. Notice that whilst in the south, south east temperatures
02:49 won't be quite as high on Sunday as they will be on Saturday. Further north where that front
02:54 will have broken up and cleared away for some it will be that little bit warmer. I have
02:58 more details on the weekend forecast on my weekend forecast which is available on YouTube
03:03 so worth checking that out if you have anything planned. See you later.
