00:00Good afternoon.

00:01A rare spell of sunshine to come for the rest of the day, particularly across western areas.

00:07But over this weekend we are expecting some quite heavy rainfall and you can see that

00:11waiting out in the Atlantic, this mass of cloud, we've got a warm conveyor belt arriving

00:16from the north and west through Saturday.

00:19But before then, a spell of drier and brighter weather will move in from the west, bringing

00:24sunny skies to many western areas by this afternoon.

00:27Ahead of that though, a cold front will bring a spell of wet weather across many eastern

00:32areas.

00:33So it will remain pretty murky through much of this afternoon across many eastern areas

00:36of England with a spell of fairly light rain throughout this afternoon and into this evening.

00:41Further west though, as I said, quite dry, sunny and with light winds it's not going to feel

00:46too bad.

00:47It is turning a little bit fresher once this band of rain and cloud clears through but I

00:50think throughout this afternoon it will still feel fairly pleasant.

00:54It's a way from the far north and west where the winds will pick up through this evening

00:57and we'll continue to see some spells of potentially quite heavy showers across parts of the Highlands

01:03and the Western Isles.

01:04Elsewhere though, a dry night to come, still a few showers just across the far south west

01:09of Wales but for many of us clear skies.

01:12And that will allow temperatures to fall away, much lower than they have done recently.

01:15So we are expecting a frost actually, particularly across southern counties of England as well as

01:20some central areas of Wales, particularly low-lying areas where we'll see that frost.

01:24But with the strength of the breeze further north and west, we will be frost free for many north

01:29and western areas.

01:30And the cloud will start to build across the north and west, Northern Ireland, Western

01:33Scotland through Saturday morning.

01:34Elsewhere though, a dry start to the weekend, the best of any sunnier weather throughout Saturday

01:40morning as the rain will become pretty persistent throughout the weekend across the north

01:45and west.

01:46We will have rain warnings in force form from Saturday morning all the way through until

01:50Monday actually for many parts of north-western areas of the UK.

01:54Further south and east, you should get away with a relatively dry day on Saturday but it

01:58is going to be a little bit colder than it has been lately.

02:01Temperatures not quite reaching double digits for many areas but if you're close to the coast,

02:04it's going to be a little bit breezier.

02:06Now the rain will continue through Sunday and we're keeping an eye on the accumulations, particularly

02:12across parts of the north and west as it will be another damp evening on Saturday evening,

02:18staying relatively dry across Wales and southern and central areas of England.

02:22This is how the rainfall totals start to build up through Sunday and into Monday and you can

02:26see areas such as Cumbria, parts of the southwest of Scotland, Northern Ireland, North Wales as

02:32well being highlighted as some of the hot spots for the highest totals.

02:36Actually across parts of Cumbria, you can see these red colours, we could see in excess of 200 millimetres

02:41falling over the period of 48 hours which is a lot of rain and will likely bring some impacts of

02:47flooding and travel disruption.

02:49So if you are in these areas or you're planning on travelling to these areas, please do stay tuned to the

02:53forecast throughout this weekend and you can do that by subscribing to our YouTube channel.

02:57I'll see you again soon, bye-bye.
