00:00Today we're talking about showers. Now these are hit and miss in nature and also relatively short-lived.
00:06But tomorrow there's a band of heavy persistent rain that's going to push through and we can already see that feature
00:12if we look at the earlier satellite imagery. This line of cloud is a front that's heading our way
00:18and it's going to bring some heavy persistent rain, also some strong winds mixed in with this.
00:23Earlier today we did actually have a spell of more persistent rain affecting some southern parts.
00:27That's now clearing away towards the east but it's going to take a little while yet to clear away from the far east of East Anglia.
00:34Some heavier bursts mixed in with this. Otherwise, and yes, it's a day of some sunny spells but also some fairly frequent showers.
00:42Most of us will catch a few of these. They will be heaviest and most frequent towards the west
00:47and it's here where we have the greatest chance of some rumbles of thunder.
00:50Now with the showers there will be some blustery winds and they will take the edge off the temperatures
00:54but if you're sheltered from the wind and if you catch any of those decent sunny spells, well temperature's not doing too badly.
01:01We're looking at highs quite widely in the high teens or low 20s so feeling relatively warm in the sunshine
01:06but like I say in the showers with the blustery winds feeling a fair bit fresher.
01:11More showers to come as we go through the evening for many places but through the end of the day and overnight
01:15those showers are gradually going to be clearing away and dying out for many of us.
01:21Not everywhere, some western coastal parts continue to see a few showers overnight
01:25but they won't be as frequent as they will have been through today.
01:28Central eastern parts here it's going to be largely dry, lots of clear skies.
01:32That being said, towns and cities, more built-up areas generally still holding up in double figures
01:38so not turning especially fresh but some rural spots could turn a fair bit fresher than this
01:42mid-high single figures perhaps in some places tomorrow morning.
01:47But through tomorrow morning, actually a bright often sunny start for many of us
01:51especially towards the east.
01:53Further west however, cloud building and then that frontal system that I mentioned earlier
01:57that's going to sweep through initially across Northern Ireland
02:00but pushing into western parts of Scotland, England and Wales as we go through the day.
02:05Now this rain is going to be quite heavy and it's going to last for a little while
02:10and so it's quite a different feature to what we've had recently.
02:13Recently we've had those showers which have been quite heavy and they've brought intense downpours
02:17but quite short-lived.
02:18Whereas this slightly heavier, more persistent rain is likely to lead to some rainfall totals building up a little bit.
02:24We're talking 10 to 20 millimetres perhaps quite widely.
02:27Some places seeing 30 to 40 millimetres particularly over higher ground towards the west.
02:32So a fair amount of rain to come through. Shouldn't cause too many issues however.
02:36We also have those strong winds to watch out for with that rain.
02:40Risk of gales around coastal spots and some higher ground particularly towards the west.
02:44But even elsewhere it is going to be a pretty blustery day.
02:48All that wet and windy weather is going to have a knock-on effect to the feel of things.
02:52Temperatures still high teens low 20s for many of us.
02:55Clinging on to the highest temperatures towards the east for that little bit longer
02:58because the front's taking a while to move in. But yes definitely feeling a fair bit fresher
03:03because of the unsettled weather that's pushing through.
03:06That front does continue its progress north eastwards as we go through the day tomorrow.
03:10So eastern areas turning wetter later on further west.
03:14Something a little bit drier maybe even brighter before the sun sets.
03:17But a few showers pushing through at times as well.
03:20Then a look ahead to Sunday and again a mostly fine start today for many of us.
03:25But once more plenty of showers again these most frequent towards the west where there's
03:29chance of some hail some lightning some thunder mixed in with them.
03:32More eastern parts seeing a fair fewer showers here.
03:35So less likely to catch a few but most places particularly towards the north and west
03:40likely to have at least a couple of showers coming in.
03:42Potential for a spell of slightly more persistent rain affecting parts of Scotland
03:46and Northern Ireland but elsewhere some decent bright sunny spells in between those showers.
03:51And again temperatures similar to recent days really.
03:53So high teens low 20s in the shelter from the blustery winds away from the showers
03:58not feeling too bad in any sunny breaks.
04:00We will have more information about what's to come as we go through this weekend across
04:04our YouTube channel.
