00:00Hello. Welcome to your weekend

00:02forecast from the Met Office.

00:04It's going to start fine and

00:05bright for most places, although

00:06a little bit chilly on Saturday

00:08morning. However, there is

00:10more rain to come, a

00:12bit like last weekend.

00:13The heaviest and most persistent

00:14rain is likely on Saturday

00:17night. And before we get to the

00:18rain arriving over the weekend, we

00:20have to get rid of an area

00:22of low pressure that's been named

00:23Storm Lorenzo by the Irish

00:25Meteorological Service, bringing

00:26some wet and windy weather early

00:28on Friday, but really fizzling

00:29out quite quickly during Friday.

00:31And then there's a brief

00:33window of drier weather before

00:35the next set of weather fronts

00:36come marching in.

00:37These will be edging in fairly

00:39slowly, actually, tied into an

00:41area of low pressure that is a

00:42long, long way away.

00:43And these weather fronts will be

00:44bringing cloud and patchy rain

00:46into Northern Ireland first thing

00:47on Saturday morning.

00:49Elsewhere, generally, Saturday,

00:50as I said, starts dry,

00:52if a little bit chilly.

00:54And many eastern areas will stay

00:55dry through the day with some

00:57hazy sunshine.

00:58But you can see the cloud is

00:59increasing as those weather fronts

01:01creep in, bringing rain

01:02and drizzle across parts of

01:03Western England, Wales and the

01:05rain. It's getting more persistent

01:06across Western Scotland, quite a

01:08soggy old day across Northern

01:10Ireland and the winds also

01:11picking up.

01:13Temperature wise, well, with a bit

01:14of brightness across the east, we

01:15could get into the high teens

01:17briefly, but mostly we're looking

01:19at 13 to 15 degrees Celsius

01:21and feeling cooler as the wet

01:23weather pushes into the west.

01:25Now, those weather fronts will

01:26continue to edge in during

01:28Saturday night and then

01:30they kind of grind to a halt.

01:31Notice some brighter colours in

01:32there as well. It could be some

01:33quite heavy bursts of rain through

01:35Saturday night and Sunday morning,

01:37especially over the hills and

01:38mountains of Northern England

01:39and Scotland.

01:40Now, there is some uncertainty

01:42about exactly how quickly

01:43these weather fronts push in and

01:45clear away.

01:46So they may hang back a little bit

01:47more, but generally

01:49eastern areas starting soggy on

01:51Sunday, the rain could linger for

01:52much of the day across eastern

01:54Scotland.

01:54There'll be a few showers falling

01:56on behind, particularly parts of

01:57Northern England.

01:58But actually for the west and

02:00south, Sunday by and

02:02large should see some brighter

02:04skies coming in and we'll see some

02:05sunshine developing.

02:07The winds will be moving in

02:09from the North Sea on some eastern

02:10coasts and coming down from the

02:12northwest across Wales and the

02:13southwest.

02:14It's going to make a fresh feel

02:16despite some sunshine.

02:17But again, we should just about

02:19get into the mid to even

02:21high teens across the southeast.

02:23The temperatures through the

02:24weekend, generally around about

02:25average, but it will be a bit of

02:27a chilly old start and there is

02:29more rain to come.

02:29Even behind me, you can see the

02:31next weather system waiting to

02:32move in as we go into Monday.

02:34So stay up to date with

02:36the forecast through this weekend.

02:37As I said at the time of recording,

02:39still a bit of uncertainty about

02:40the details for Sunday.
