00:00 Hello again. There's going to be a bit of thunder around for some of us tonight.

00:04 Not everywhere we'll see it, but across central parts of England and Wales,

00:08 somewhere towards the Thames estuary into East Anglia, then westwards towards central Wales.

00:12 It's here that we have the greatest chance of some thundery downpours

00:16 could cause some problems. Elsewhere, and it's looking relatively dry

00:20 overnight, particularly across Scotland, Northern Ireland, some clear skies here, and into

00:24 Northern England we're going to see a bit more cloud pushing in from the North Sea, affecting

00:28 the eastern parts here, and a few showery bursts possible as we head towards dawn.

00:32 Across other parts of England and Wales, the clouds are going to be quite thick.

00:36 We do need to allow for some mist and fog patches first thing, but temperatures aren't going to drop a huge amount.

00:40 Even where we see the skies clear, it's not going to be a particularly chilly night.

00:44 Some towns and cities holding up in double figures. So a relatively mild start

00:48 on Friday morning, but quite a wet one, particularly across some central

00:52 southern parts of Wales and into central England too. Outbreaks of heavy rain for a time here.

00:56 Some showery bursts then pushing westwards across parts of Northern England

01:00 and into central southern Scotland as well. Some of these could turn heavy,

01:04 possibly even thundery, and then a few showers perhaps skirting their way into Northern Ireland too.

01:08 Elsewhere and across much of the UK, it's actually

01:12 going to stay pretty cloudy and there'll be a fair amount of rain at times, which could be

01:16 quite heavy, a bit miserable at times. But to the north of this,

01:20 across the bulk of Scotland, once any showers push their way through, it's actually

01:24 looking largely dry. Just one or two showers here or there and a good deal of sunshine

01:28 away from the cloudier eastern coastal parts and also a fair amount

01:32 of bright, fine, sunny weather towards the south coast. And it's in the places

01:36 that we will see the sunshine that we're going to get the highest temperatures. Across parts of Scotland,

01:40 high teens, possibly low 20s, so not quite as warm as today, but

01:44 nonetheless, above average for the time of year. And across southern areas of England

01:48 here where we see some sunshine, temperatures will be a little bit higher than today

01:52 and it's feeling a bit warmer too. A different story in areas where it's going to stay

01:56 cloudy and pretty wet. Temperatures suppressed, so feeling a bit cooler than it has done

02:00 so through the last day or so. As we look through the evening on Friday,

02:04 this zone of cloudy, wet weather gradually shifts its way

02:08 a little bit further northwards. So that means across parts of Northern England, North Wales,

02:12 Northern Ireland, staying pretty cloudy. There'll be outbreaks of rain as we go through the night.

02:16 But across parts of Scotland, turning increasingly cloudy here and some

02:20 showers as we go through the early hours of Saturday. But further south, here we're going to see

02:24 increasingly clear skies across southern parts, staying dry here.

02:28 And across the Midlands into central southern parts of Wales

02:32 and East Anglia, we're going to see the cloud pushing its way northwards, so clearer skies

02:36 developing overnight. Because of the clear skies, it is going to be a bit

02:40 fresher for some of us on Saturday morning than on Friday morning, particularly towards

02:44 the south. Mid-single figures, that kind of thing, perhaps a little bit lower than that

02:48 in some prone spots. But further north, another relatively mild start where we have

02:52 the cloud temperatures holding up in high single figures or low double digits.

02:56 Now Saturday is a little bit uncertain and that's the

03:00 it's fair to say it's uncertain as we go through the long weekend. But it does look like

03:04 we'll get off to a bit of a north-south split start. Brightest towards the south but

03:08 some showers starting to push their way up from the south as we go through the day. A bit of

03:12 uncertainty as to how quickly and how widespread these showers will develop.

03:16 But likely to be largely cloudy further north and there will be some further

03:20 outbreaks of showery rain. What I have a bit more confidence in are the

03:24 temperatures. They're not going to be as high as through Thursday through Friday perhaps

03:28 but they are still going to be a little bit above average for the time of year. So

03:32 if you do get any bright or sunny weather, it should feel pretty warm.

03:36 Now looking further ahead through the rest of the long weekend, and it's likely that

03:40 low pressure will dominate. The exact position of this low, well that's still to be

03:44 determined. But it does look like it's going to be quite a mixed picture. There will

03:48 still be some rain at times but also something a bit drier and brighter too. Alex Deakin

03:52 will have more details about the weekend forecast available on our YouTube channel. Bye bye.
