00:00Welcome along to another national weather update with me, Alex Deakin.

00:04Again, a lot of cloud across the country on Friday and probably a few more showers around as well.

00:09Maybe even one or two thunderstorms.

00:11The showers on Thursday evening are few and far between and fairly light.

00:15Some across northeast Scotland, northwest England.

00:17We'll see a few more developing through the night over the Midlands and parts of southern England and south Wales.

00:22But many places will stay dry.

00:24That blanket of cloud keeping the temperatures up for most, not as oppressive as earlier in the week,

00:29but still fairly warm across the south, 16, 17.

00:32The low in some towns and cities further north and east.

00:36Temperatures generally dipping down into the low teens.

00:39Another cloudy day then for many on Friday.

00:41I suspect we'll see some sunshine though, particularly for Northern Ireland.

00:44By and large, a fine day here, the west coast of Scotland, parts of the southwest of Wales and southwest England too.

00:51But also in this zone, the potential for some pretty tasty thunderstorms to develop.

00:57We'll see showers across the Midlands spreading into parts of northern England and southern Scotland during the day.

01:02But as I said, it's this zone here where we're a bit concerned that we could see some very intense thunderstorms.

01:08Not everywhere in our yellow warning area we'll see those downpours.

01:12Some may stay completely dry, but where they do occur, they could cause some disruption.

01:17A lot of rain falling in a short space of time.

01:19Local flooding is possible and certainly a lot of spray and surface water on the roads.

01:24The M5 and the M4 may not be too clever.

01:27Those thundery showers will continue into the evening.

01:30Temperatures in the south getting into the low even mid-twenties.

01:33Further north, we're mostly only looking at high teens at best.

01:37And we'll continue with showers in many areas actually during Friday evening.

01:41Something to bear in mind, as I said, if you are traveling away for the weekend.

01:44The showers do tend to fade through the evening.

01:47Many places becoming dry as we head into the weekend.

01:50But notice there's a big exception to that with wet weather coming into Northern Ireland.

01:55That's a weather front which will push rain into western Scotland.

01:58And the wind's picking up as well across the western coast.

02:01A bit of showery rain getting into north and west Wales and northwest England.

02:05Much of southern England, the Midlands, eastern England will stay dry and fine through Saturday.

02:10It may turn a little breezy in places, but actually turning warmer here as well.

02:14In the sunshine, temperatures back into the mid, possibly even high twenties.

02:19Whereas it is cooler with the cloudier, windier and wetter weather further west.

02:24That will continue to trickle its way in across parts of the country during Saturday evening.

02:28And into Sunday as well.

02:30Part of a big area of low pressure.

02:32You can see that swirl there.

02:34And it is steadily moving in, but high pressure is still controlling things further east.

02:40And that will continue to bring some warm, sunny weather across parts of East Anglia and the southeast.

02:45We could be back up over 30 Celsius across that southeastern corner on Sunday.

02:49Whereas elsewhere it will be cooler with stronger winds and further outbreaks of rain.

02:53A full weekend forecast is available on our YouTube channels.
