00:00The weather this weekend is looking pretty messy. There'll be some rain at times, also a fair amount of dry weather, but watch out for some mist and fog patches as well.
00:09Now, starting off, and let's quickly run through Friday, there is an area of low pressure just to the west of Ireland, but it's not especially deep.
00:17That being said, it is going to bring some relatively blustery and showery weather, especially across western, southwestern parts.
00:23Some of those showers could turn quite heavy. Could be some rumbles of thunder, a bit of lightning, a bit of hail mixed in with them as well.
00:30Further east, staying dry, some bright sunny spells, but a few showers pushing through, actually, as we go overnight.
00:35Perhaps a chance of a band of more organised showery, bursts of rain, sleet, and perhaps some hill snow pushing in.
00:40All the time, that low pressure over Ireland is going to be filling, so we're going to see less of an influence of that as we go into Saturday.
00:48As a result, the flow is going to become a bit more slack, and with that slack flow, then, we do need to watch out for some mist and fog developing through the early hours of Saturday morning.
00:58Some low clouds, some murkiness, quite likely, then, across eastern parts, particularly eastern parts of England, also western Northern Ireland.
01:04But elsewhere, as we go through the night where we see breaks in the cloud, well, we could see some radiation fog developing.
01:10Now, radiation fog isn't as scary as it sounds. It's merely fog that develops due to radiative cooling in the air.
01:18Now, as we go through the day, then, some of those mist and fog patches could linger, could stick around for quite a while.
01:23Some of that low cloud down the eastern side of England could also stick around as well.
01:27Otherwise, yes, many places will actually be mostly dry, if quite grey, but there will be some showery bursts.
01:33It's a bit difficult to be too precise with the details and the exact location of those showery bursts,
01:38but it does look like a spell of showery rain will push its way northwards over parts of Scotland,
01:42and some showery rain feeding in around the Irish Sea, so eastern parts of Northern Ireland, parts of Wales,
01:48southwest England, reasonable chance, and even elsewhere, a few spots of rain are quite likely.
01:52There will be some glimmers of sunshine breaking through, and if you get that sunshine,
01:56temperatures around what we'd expect for the time of year, very high single digits,
02:00maybe just about getting into double figures across parts of Cornwall, maybe.
02:04But if you're stuck under that cloud, if you get stuck under that fog as well, well, it could feel pretty cold indeed.
02:13As we go overnight, Saturday into Sunday, we've really lost the influence of that low pressure,
02:18so an even more slack flow across the country.
02:20There is the potential for a system to come in from the southeast and bring a spell of rain as we go through the start of Sunday,
02:27but I'm not too confident about the position of this.
02:30Models have been chopping and changing with how developed, how much this comes in across the UK.
02:35Nonetheless, there could be some damp weather around.
02:37Most places, though, starting generally dry, but again, there will be some mist and fog around.
02:42Again, some low clouds, some murkiness could cause some pretty poor visibility issues first thing on Sunday morning.
02:48And again, even if you don't have that low cloud, that murkiness,
02:51there could be some radiation fog patches developing where we have any clearer skies,
02:56and it could even be a bit of freezing fog in some places where we see temperatures also dropping below freezing.
03:02Then, as we go through Sunday, for many, Sunday looks like a drier day.
03:07There's less of a chance of seeing some showery bursts.
03:09We just need to watch out for this band of rain.
03:11It doesn't look especially heavy, but it could just bring a bit of rain,
03:15making its way northwards across, well, much of central and into northeastern parts of England as well.
03:21Away from this, both across parts of East Anglia, Kent, and also western parts of Wales,
03:26northwest England, and parts of Cornwall, there could be some breaks in the clouds, some sunshine,
03:30but similar to Saturday, really.
03:32If you get the sunshine, just about getting into double figures, maybe high single figures, really, for many.
03:38But if you're stuck under the cloud, whether it be the cloud in association with this front
03:42or the cloud that just lingers from overnight, well, it's still going to feel pretty cold indeed.
03:48Then, as we go into next week, and there are a few things at play, really,
03:53we're likely to continue to see some systems coming in from the Atlantic.
03:57So, some wetter, perhaps even windy weather at times.
04:00But, all the while, high pressure will be building towards the east of us, mainly over Scandinavia.
04:07Now, exactly where that high pressure is going to be sitting, well, that's pivotal for how far in
04:12these Atlantic systems are set to make their way, and how far, how quickly they then push across.
04:17So, just how much rain, how blustery the weather will be.
04:20I think there's a reasonable chance that this high pressure over Scandinavia could push across the UK
04:24as we go through later in the week, more so into the following weekend.
04:28And as it does so, we could drag in some colder air.
04:31So, on the whole, it does look like temperatures are going to be dropping next week.
04:34But exactly how much rain and how quickly it is that we see a drop in our temperatures,
04:39well, that's all still to play for.
04:41Whatever you're up to, have a great weekend.
04:43I'll see you again soon.
04:44Bye-bye.
