00:00The weather patterns are shifting quite dramatically through this weekend.

00:04It's been a cold week, we'll lose the frosts, although temperatures by day will only just pick up a little bit.

00:11We've got weather fronts moving in from the Atlantic, so we've lost the northerly winds

00:14and we're seeing the winds more come in from the west or even the southwest.

00:18That means cloud and outbreaks of rain, maybe a little bit of snow on the hills

00:21as this weather system moves in through Friday night and Saturday.

00:24But by Saturday morning, we're looking at cloud and rain slipping in across most parts of the UK.

00:31It's dangling in the southeast, could start dry, it'll certainly start cold here

00:34and actually many areas cheering up through the day on Saturday.

00:37Sunny spells for eastern Scotland, northern England, parts of the Midlands

00:40before further showery rain comes into northern Ireland, Wales and the southwest later on.

00:46The southeastern East Anglia stay pretty dull and pretty damp into the afternoon with a strengthening wind.

00:52Temperature-wise, well, they're going to be a bit higher.

00:54These numbers, then they have been through the week, but it's still not going to feel very pleasant.

00:59A cold start and as the cloud moves in, it's going to feel pretty fresh, I imagine,

01:04even though by the end of the day in the southwest, we could get up to double figures.

01:08Now, for Sunday, things get really complicated.

01:11The jet stream's kind of split into two out across the Atlantic

01:14and the weather model's not really completely agreeing earlier about which of these weather systems

01:19will get picked up and intensified as they move towards the UK.

01:22We now think that this secondary area of low pressure will be the dominant feature

01:28and that's what's likely to move in as we go through the course of Saturday night and into Sunday.

01:34It's low pressure actually sitting across northern Ireland and then in across England and Wales

01:40by the time we get to Sunday morning.

01:42And if this pressure pattern comes off, then notice the isobars quite tightly packed there

01:46across the southwest, suggesting some quite gusty winds.

01:49Now, this is the European model, ECMWF, compared to the Met Office model

01:53and you can see that the European model actually quite a bit deeper.

01:56Those blue colours suggesting the pressure quite a bit deeper in the European model,

02:01suggesting that low is going to be a bit more intense and have more about it

02:04and it's going to be slower to move in.

02:07So what does that mean for our weather?

02:08Well, it means there'll be showers or longer spells of rain for many during Sunday,

02:12particularly close to that low pressure and especially down to the southwest.

02:15It looks like we could see some strong and gusty winds blowing in here throughout the day.

02:21There'll be showers on and off in most areas and an awful lot of cloud around too.

02:26By the time we get to Sunday, the temperatures will tick up a little bit further

02:29but only really close to average 9 to maybe 10 or 11, perhaps 12 in the southwest.

02:34But again, it won't feel much warmer than it has done

02:37because of the strength of the wind in the southwest in particular.

02:40So yes, we are seeing some changes back to wetter weather for most of us

02:44through the course of the weekend.

02:46Temperatures picking up, but only by a little bit.
