00:00Hello if you're watching this on YouTube don't forget to hit subscribe. Our
00:04weather patterns are changing. We've had high pressure controlling things for
00:08most of this week bringing a lot of dry weather and many of us some sunshine. The
00:13high is still nearby keeping things dry across the north for the next couple of
00:17days but further south low pressure is just pushing in. The ice bars are
00:22squeezing together as well so the breeze which has been pretty noticeable across the
00:26south today will continue and this low pressure will introduce some heavy
00:30even thundery showers from Friday onwards. Let's rewind the clock though
00:34and go through Thursday night first of all we've still got that easterly breeze
00:38just dragging in a bit more cloud again. It's been sticking to parts of the east
00:42of England through the day and it's going to push back inland overnight
00:46getting into parts of Wales across eastern Scotland and much of England by
00:51dawn. The west though generally stays dry some decent clear spells across
00:55Northern Ireland in the west here temperatures down to single figures
00:58western Scotland also seeing those temperatures well down into single
01:01digits but with that cloud acting like a blanket that'll keep the temperatures
01:05up across England and Wales. That cloud though is going to be thick enough for a
01:08little bit of rain and drizzle here and there and maybe a bit of a damp start on
01:12some of these North Sea coasts and certainly over the Pennines a bit of
01:15drizzle could even be one or two showers across the south first thing. For most
01:19though it's just a grey dry start. What we'll see through the day is the cloud
01:23breaking up like recent days to reveal some sunshine but then that sunshine
01:27likely to trigger some heavy showers. East Anglia in the southeast initially
01:31but then over the Midlands Wales and southwest England during the afternoon.
01:34They could be pretty lively showers as well some thunderstorms hail and thunder
01:40possible too. The cloud is going to be a bit more stubborn across northeast
01:44England into eastern Scotland compared to recent days so some here likely to
01:47stay pretty drab with some drizzle on the hills but yet again look at that
01:51Northern Ireland western Scotland doing pretty good for sunshine and here
01:55temperatures getting up into the mid to high teens maybe even 20 Celsius. Over
01:5920 in the south again so feeling quite warm here but there will be those
02:03thundery showers and quite cool I suspect on some of these North Sea
02:07coasts where it does stay drab. Let's focus in then on those showers they're
02:12not going to be everywhere in this warning area. The very nature of
02:15thunderstorms is that they're hit and miss. One place gets a downpour five
02:18miles away it may be dry but where they do occur likely to cause some issues.
02:23Potential for flooding certainly a lot of spray and surface water on the roads
02:27parts of the M4 and the M5 especially for Friday evenings rush hour so just
02:31bear that in mind as these showers will continue into the evening time. They
02:36should fade as we go through the night and will continue with that thicker
02:39cloud across northeast England eastern Scotland likely to push back in over the
02:43Midlands and parts of Wales as we head into the weekend and notice we're not
02:47done with the thundery showers more of them brewing up across parts of the
02:51south again quite a mild night for many but with the clearest skies over
02:54northern Scotland again some rural spots down into single digits. Saturday is
02:59going to be a similar kind of day with some of these North Sea coasts staying
03:02grey a bit of drizzle further south yes some bright or sunny spells but further
03:08heavy showers likely over the Midlands southern England and parts of Wales
03:12again western Scotland probably favour for some sunshine a fine day by and large
03:17in Northern Ireland also and again those temperature contrasts with the breeze
03:20from the North Sea quite cool here and some sunshine in western Scotland high
03:24teens in the south still quite warm air so yes when the Sun's out temperatures
03:29over 20 degrees but again the potential for some heavy downpours for big
03:35thundery showers to develop so we also have a yellow Met Office thunderstorm
03:40warning in place for Saturday again not everywhere in this warning zone will see
03:45a downpour but where they do occur they are likely to cause some disruption so
03:50again if you're traveling on Saturday bear that in mind a lot of spray and
03:53surface water on the roads for more information about those weather warnings
