00:00Hello there and welcome to your weekend forecast issued this Thursday. Well for

00:05the next few days it's all about the showers. Low pressure firmly in charge

00:09driving those showers in with a stronger wind for a time and then the flow

00:13becomes a little slacker and what that means there is a chance of some fog by

00:17night in the north through the early hours of Saturday morning and then

00:20Sunday morning further south across England and Wales. Let's look at the

00:24bigger picture. Friday into Saturday you can see this area of low pressure

00:28becoming complex for a time with another one situated across the North

00:33Sea and bands of showers just swirling around this low. You can see what the

00:37strongest winds will be across the north and the west of Scotland and also Irish

00:41Sea coast but where we see a lighter breeze that's where we're likely to see

00:45some fog patches through the early hours of Saturday morning. It's a bit of a

00:48murky start and then through the day showers will continue. They will come and

00:53go. Some places could get away with some brighter weather and some drier

00:57conditions. Certainly for the southeast for a time as you can see these showers

01:00never too far away and a stronger wind associated with the area of low pressure

01:05particularly towards the northern and western flank of the low. So wherever you

01:09are you may catch a shower through the day. If you catch one towards the east

01:13where the winds are lighter it could last for quite some time. Elsewhere

01:17they'll move through quite quite quickly. Stronger winds across the south later on

01:22in the day. So temperature wise nothing really to write home about. It's around

01:26average for this time of year. A bit cooler across the north and the west

01:30particularly with that northerly wind coming in. 11 or 12 will be your high here and

01:34certainly if you catch a heavy shower temperatures may fall temporarily. So

01:39through Saturday into Sunday this area of low pressure tends to fill a little

01:43bit as it drifts towards the near continent and then we see a real squeeze

01:47on the isobars and occlusions just pushing down across the country. That's

01:51through Saturday into Sunday. It will be a slow process and what it means

01:55certainly as we head through into Sunday quite a lot of rain is going to

01:59be associated with this front towards the north. So that's northern and

02:02northeastern areas of Scotland. Unpleasant conditions here with a driving

02:06wind and further showery bits and pieces likely further south. So again it's a

02:10rather wet day. So let's take a look at the detail. You can see this northerly wind

02:15pushing down and it's going to drag this cloud and rain further south through the

02:19day. So it will clear down towards the south over 24 hours or so. Certainly

02:23showers likely further south. Showery bursts of rain at that and then thicker

02:27cloud just marches in across the north and the west of Scotland as well as

02:31Northern Ireland. A cool breeze. There will be some sunshine on offer

02:34particularly in between these two rain bands and so for places such as the

02:38Midlands, Lincolnshire, East Anglia even the middle part of Wales you may see

02:42some brighter weather through a Sunday afternoon. Temperatures struggling though

02:47a little bit lower than what we've seen over the last few days. 10 to 14 degrees

02:52Celsius and certainly you will notice the difference with that wind further

02:55north and also northwest. However with a lighter breeze across the central zone

03:00of England and East Wales through the first part of Sunday watch out for some

03:05mist and murk even some fog patches which will tend to lift. So that's Sunday

03:10through Sunday into Monday. Things do change. It's an improving picture. You can

03:16see these weather fronts attempting to sort of move down towards France as well

03:20as Belgium before fizzling out and then it's a ridge of high pressure extending

03:25across from the Atlantic which will bring some relief to the wet weather

03:28certainly the saturated land through Monday. Drier conditions even some

03:34sunshine as any showers become few and far between but notice towards the north

03:38on Monday another squeeze on the isobars. We'll see gales here later on

03:42Monday and eventually some outbreaks of rain. So all in all yes we will see some

03:47conditions. It's not going to last. Keep posted though. Keep up to date with the

03:52forecast on all our social media channels. Bye bye.
