00:00Hello there, welcome to your weekend forecast from the Met Office.
00:04The weekend starts fine and dry with some lovely sunshine after a bit of a chilly start,
00:10a touch of frost in places with some fog patches, but notice as we head through the weekend
00:16the cloud will thicken from the north-west, bringing the chance of some rain, although
00:21central and southern areas will remain under those brighter skies.
00:26Currently high pressure sits across the country.
00:28Notice this weak weather front here though, bringing more cloud across the north as well
00:33as the west of Scotland and some showery bursts as well. Elsewhere a light breeze as we enter
00:39the weekend and under those clearer skies it will turn cold into the early hours of the
00:46morning. So here are your expected temperatures if you're stepping out very early on. As you
00:51can see low single figures for the bulk of the country with a touch of frost as temperatures
00:57dip below freezing in one or two prone spots. Also there will be some mist and fog around
01:04as well. But towards more northern areas of Scotland, certainly the north-west, that's where
01:10the front is. Some rain in places never really amounting to very much and a fair amount of
01:16cloud. And hence the reason why, because of the cloud temperatures are slightly higher, coming
01:21in around six or seven degrees Celsius. So if you're stepping out first thing on Saturday
01:26morning you may run into some cloud, you may run into some fog as well. Poor visibility
01:31but it should burn off quite nicely as we head through the morning and after a chilly start
01:37it will warm up as well. A little cloud comes and goes. It's really though northern areas of Scotland
01:43where you'll see that cloud. Although it could break up particularly towards the north-east
01:47and that rain as I said fairly patchy. Through the afternoon then you can see where the sunshine
01:53is central belt southwards. Northern Ireland having a fine day. A bit more breeze down towards
01:59the west country. Elsewhere yes just a light wind. A pleasant day to be out and about. So here
02:05are your temperatures through Saturday. Coming in probably around 14 or 15 generally in the north
02:12under that sunshine with the cloud probably 9 to 12. And for England and Wales despite that
02:18chilly start we'll likely see values coming in probably 15 or 16 degrees Celsius the mid-teens.
02:25So warm in the sunshine. Now as we head through Saturday evening notice this high pressure tending
02:33to drift towards the low countries as this weather front moves in. And as you can see here behind
02:40it the air is colder. And that will herald a change in the weather and a feel a bit more
02:47of a colder feel to things as we head through Sunday into Monday across the north-west. Even
02:52with the chance eventually of seeing some wintry showers here. But that's not how we start Saturday
02:58morning. For most a light breeze and some clearer skies as well. A frost particularly across England
03:06and Wales some fog patches across more eastern counties. By the north under the cloud we'll see
03:13temperatures holding up. And by this point the cloud will have rolled in across much of Scotland
03:18as well as Northern Ireland and some rain just coming and going. However the back edge of that cloud
03:25and that rain produces some stronger winds. So a very different type of weather coming through
03:32on Sunday morning across western Scotland. Outbreaks of rain and a strong wind. So as we head through the
03:40morning after a chilly start yet again across England and Wales you'll see that fog and that
03:45low cloud tend to break up and lift and there will be some sunshine. The sunshine turning hazy across
03:51northern England and northwest Wales through the morning into the afternoon and we hang on to the cloud
03:55across Scotland and Northern Ireland. As that rain gathers across Northern Ireland makes inroads across the
04:01highlands towards Argyle and Butte. Some patchy rain also for places such as Fife. Certainly Aberdeenshire seeing
04:10some and notice these showers filing in on that blustery breeze across the northwest of Scotland including
04:16Shetland and Orkney. So dry as we end the day across most of England and Wales but notice this canopy
04:25of cloud
04:25extending southwards. Before that though temperatures will still rise quite nicely 14 degrees in the south
04:34probably around 12 further north but behind this the air is colder. So that's the picture on Sunday. All in
04:43all yes
04:43it's a tale of two halves. A slow process as that cloud and the rain moves in and those stronger
04:49winds
04:50heralding a change in our weather as we head through the beginning of next week. Wherever you are have a
04:55wonderful weekend
04:55and I'll see you again soon.
