00:00Good morning. A bit of a chilly start for some of us and a few mist and fog patches
00:05to kick the day off, but there's a good deal of dry and fine weather in the mix. That's
00:09courtesy of this area of high pressure to the east, but the east is slowly sliding away
00:14over the next 24 hours, and it's all eyes then to the west as this weather front starts
00:19to actually show its hand across parts of Northern Ireland later tonight.
00:23But back to the here and now. So a fine start this morning across many parts of England
00:28and Wales and Scotland. We are seeing a little bit more of an increasing cloud across the
00:33south and east, and during the course of the afternoon, this cloud will make some steady
00:37progress westwards, and it will be thick enough for a few outbreaks of light rain and drizzle
00:42here and there. But that cloud is going to have a bit of an impact on the afternoon temperatures,
00:48with highs of 16 or 17 for anyone stuck under this cloud, but across the sunnier and brighter
00:53west, highs of 18, perhaps even 19 possible, so feeling quite pleasant in the sunshine
00:58But we do have a strengthening southerly wind in that west, courtesy of this weather front,
01:04and that weather front will make steady progress as we move our way through into Saturday morning,
01:10that cloud and rain arriving across Northern Ireland by dawn. But many parts of England and
01:15Wales were mainly largely dry, with some clear spells. And under those clear spells, those temperatures
01:21will fall away, certainly in some rural spots through some central areas, but many towns and cities
01:26staying comfortably in high singles. So that dry but cloudy start to Saturday morning,
01:33those those brighter conditions really, really holding on across the far east, but all eyes
01:38to the west, as this band of cloud and rain and strengthening wind makes steady progress eastwards
01:45during the course of the afternoon. It's really taking its time though, for many parts of England,
01:50remaining dry right the way through to the late afternoon. And in terms of temperatures,
01:56pretty academic, close to average for the time of year, with highs of 17 or 18 across the south,
02:0214 or 15 across the north, and all that cloud and rain across Scotland. And that weather front will make
02:09steady progress eastwards as we move our way into Sunday. There is some uncertainty of how quickly it
02:15actually clears the east coast Sunday afternoon. But after it's cleared, high pressure starts to build
02:21in from the south and west. And at any time of that year, that means any returns and dry and
02:27potentially some bright conditions as we move our way into Monday, especially across parts of England
02:32and Wales. And that is your forecast. Bye for now.
