00:00Hello there, good morning. It's the bank holiday weekend, but we're in the UK, so yes, I'm
00:05afraid there is some rain in the forecast, as well as some very strong winds later today
00:09as Storm Dave takes hold. But for the time being, it's very much the calm before the
00:15storm, quite a chilly start, even some bright sunshine across many areas of eastern England,
00:19but they're soon being replaced by cloud as Storm Dave starts to push through, so any
00:24brighter skies soon turning into hazy spells of sunshine. Winds really starting to pick
00:29up into the west later this afternoon, as well as some heavy spells of rain, particularly
00:33across Northern Ireland, parts of Scotland and also Northern England, and this likely
00:38falling as snow across high ground in Scotland. With the strong winds later today, that could
00:43lead to some blizzard conditions. So by the time we reach this afternoon, a couple of weather
00:47warnings in force for wind and also for some heavy rain and snow across the far north-west
00:52of Scotland. We could potentially see between 10 to 20 centimetres across north-east Scotland,
00:57but across much of England and Wales. Yes, it will be a windy Saturday ahead, but actually
01:02there's lots of dry weather around, even some sunny spells, and still rather warm. Highs reaching
01:07around 16 to 17 degrees Celsius, so in any sheltered spots, it should feel rather pleasant
01:12for the time of year. But of course, it's a very different story in the north-west, and
01:17it's really into this evening that we'll see those winds pick up. A chance we could see peak
01:21gusts of between 80 to 90 miles per hour, so a chance of severe gales, particularly around
01:26in the exposed areas of Scotland. But through the course of this evening, that's where we
01:30see the storm shift into the North Sea. So winds will largely be easing away, but still
01:34very gusty around eastern coasts of England and also Scotland. And it's not just going
01:39to be windy, there's also going to be some very heavy spells of rain. As I say, a chance
01:43of blizzard conditions in Scotland for a time as we see snow across high ground. Some very heavy
01:48showers also moving through elsewhere across England and Wales. But most of the strong
01:53winds and the heavy rain do move through overnight, so by the time we reach Easter Sunday, there's
01:58actually going to be lots of dry weather around, probably still plenty of cloud across the south.
02:02Some showers, still some snow showers across the north-east of Scotland. And across many
02:06areas of the north, quite a chilly start. Lows reaching around the low-mid single figures,
02:11a little bit milder across the south, but there's still a fairly brisk wind out there first
02:15thing on Sunday, which will add on to the chill of things. But actually for Easter Sunday,
02:20there'll be lots of dry weather around. The storm day of eventually clearing into the North
02:24Sea, any winds largely easing away. There'll still be a fairly brisk westerly wind around,
02:29and there will still be some showers as well. But it'll be a day of sunshine and showers,
02:34so if it does start to chuck it down with the rain, give it a minute or two and hopefully
02:38some drier weather is on its way and possibly even some sunshine. Not feeling quite as warm
02:44as it has done recently. Highs only reaching around 13 degrees Celsius across the south,
02:49but still fairly chilly across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern parts of England. Highs only
02:53reaching around 8 degrees Celsius here, but hopefully by Sunday afternoon lots of good weather
02:58around for any Easter egg hunts. Now, later on into the evening, we do actually have high
03:05pressure building from the south, so plenty of clear skies. That means it's going to be soon
03:10turning fairly chilly. Lots of dry weather around actually for bank holiday Monday,
03:14but notice behind me low pressure is never too far away. So a fairly chilly start on Monday,
03:20perhaps even some patchy frost in places, but lots of sunshine around. This turning a little
03:24bit hazier from the west as low pressure tries to edge its way in. Still a fairly breezy day on
03:30offer
03:31as well across many areas of the west, and eventually we will start to see some spells of rain push
03:35into
03:35Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland. And once again feeling that little bit chillier, but across
03:40the London area still fairly warm. Highs reaching around 16 degrees Celsius here, but for the most
03:45part highs reaching between 12 to 14 degrees Celsius, but on the whole lots of dry weather around if you
03:50are off work on Monday. And of course if you want to know what the weather's doing as we head
03:55into next
03:56week, well you can join us right here on YouTube. Bye bye.
