00:00 Good morning, welcome to your latest update. This weekend is looking very mild, particularly
00:05 overnight and there will be quite a lot of dry weather across many central and southern
00:09 areas and that's because we've got high pressure building in from the south that will allow
00:14 that dry weather to really settle in for the next few days or so. Notice though we've still
00:18 got weather fronts skirting along to the north and that will bring some rain at times. But
00:23 to the south of those weather fronts we've got exceptionally mild air building in from
00:27 the tropics to bring some very mild night. However, it's still a bit of a chillier start
00:32 out there this morning, particularly across many central and southern areas and we could
00:36 see some mist and fog first thing but that will likely clear over the next few hours.
00:41 And then much of the day across central and eastern areas will be dry and bright, not
00:45 much brighter day than yesterday and the day before in fact, so some good sunshine to come
00:50 eventually here. Elsewhere though, further west, cloud will thicken through the day and
00:55 we will see some outbreaks of drizzly rain as those frontal systems come ever closer.
01:00 The most persistent rain will be across northern areas of Scotland where it will stay quite
01:04 windy through much of the day, particularly across coastal areas as well as over the high
01:09 ground. But that strength of that breeze and the warmth of the air will allow temperatures
01:14 to build this afternoon, highs of 11 or 12 degrees for many western areas. A little bit
01:19 cooler though in the east where we did get off to a bit of a chillier start this morning.
01:25 Through the evening then tonight, we'll see dry weather persist for many central and eastern
01:29 areas. Elsewhere though, it will stay cloudy with the risk of some drizzly rain through
01:33 much of the night. But again, the most persistent rain will continue across northern Scotland
01:38 where the winds strengthen even more. We'll see the stronger winds spread slightly further
01:42 south into further southern areas of Scotland and northern England as well. So a gusty night
01:47 for these areas, but that won't allow temperatures to fall away at all really. In fact, tonight
01:53 is looking a good few degrees warmer than last night. Many areas of the UK will be about
01:59 four degrees warmer than last night, but it's the far north of Scotland where temperatures
02:03 could not get much lower than around 11 degrees. So it could be an exceptionally warm night
02:09 for December here. A mild start to the weekend then and for many southern and central areas,
02:15 it'll be a dry and fine day through Saturday. I think a drier day on Saturday than Sunday
02:20 here. There'll be some sunny spells coming through now and then, particularly in the
02:24 afternoon across the far south coast. The further north and west you are though, the
02:28 cloudier it will be and the greater your risk there is of seeing some drizzly rain, particularly
02:33 over any hills and western facing and coastal areas across Wales and northern areas of England
02:39 as well as Northern Ireland. But again, it's the far northwest of Scotland where that heavy
02:44 rain will persist and we'll see the most persistent rain I think through Saturday night into Sunday
02:48 morning and as a result, we do have a weather warning in force for these areas. And you
