00:00Welcome to your national weather update.

00:05and you'll never miss a forecast.

00:06And there's plenty going on over the next few days.

00:08Out in the Atlantic, things are developing.

00:11But ahead of that, actually, our low pressure system

00:14is sitting still out to the east.

00:16And we've still got the air coming down from the north,

00:18hence why it's been so chilly for much of this week.

00:20This little weather front is just pepping the rain up

00:22during the night, initially across southeast Scotland,

00:25northeast England, but spreading south across northern England

00:28into the Midlands, parts of Wales,

00:30and eventually parts of southern England,

00:32seeing that rain by dawn.

00:33A few showers coming on behind across the borders

00:36and northeastern England.

00:37But otherwise, most places will be largely dry overnight.

00:42And temperatures stipping down to single figures

00:44for England and Wales, parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland,

00:47staying a little bit milder in double digits.

00:50Onto the details for Thursday, we

00:51are going to start with a lot of cloud

00:53and some outbreaks of rain, especially for Pembrokeshire

00:55and southern counties of England.

00:57But I think quite quickly, that rain should fizzle out.

01:00It may take a while before it clears completely

01:02from Cornwall and the Channel Isles.

01:04And we will see a few showers following on behind

01:06across, again, southeast Scotland, northeast England.

01:09They may drift towards east Anglia and the Midlands

01:11by the afternoon.

01:13Some scattered showers for eastern Scotland,

01:15but I say for many places, certainly western Scotland,

01:18much of northern Ireland, and much of southern England

01:20and south Wales.

01:21Once that early rain has cleared, most of the day

01:24will be dry and bright.

01:26And a touch warmer, perhaps, than recent days.

01:29Temperatures getting close to average 17 or 18 in the south.

01:32And for most, the winds will be a little lighter,

01:34but still feeling fairly fresh on some of those North Sea

01:37coasts with a brisk wind bringing a few scattered

01:40showers in here, which will continue into the evening.

01:43The odd one keeping going over the Midlands,

01:45but quite rapidly tending to ease off.

01:47And then we'll see largely clear skies for most of the night

01:51across England and Wales.

01:53But notice behind me something rather more dramatic.

01:56We talked at the start about things

01:58developing in the Atlantic.

02:00And this bank of wet and windy weather is going to swing in.

02:03It will bring slightly higher temperatures,

02:06certainly compared to England and Wales,

02:07with those clear skies.

02:08A fairly cold start to Friday, well down into single digits.

02:12But we will start Friday across a good part of England

02:15with some sunshine, but fairly rapidly

02:17clouding over across Wales.

02:19A wet and windy start for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

02:23Some bright colours there, heavy rain.

02:25It does move through reasonably rapidly,

02:29spring to most areas by the end of the day.

02:31East Anglia in the southeast will cloud over.

02:33May not see the rain here until tea time,

02:36but it could be a very wet Friday evening

02:38across the southeast.

02:40Behind it, brighter skies for Scotland and Northern Ireland

02:42on Friday afternoon, but also a fair few blustery showers.

02:46Temperature-wise, well, again, mid to high teens.

02:49You're actually starting to see warmer air come in

02:51with this wet weather, but it's not

02:53going to feel very pleasant at all with the rain

02:55and those strong winds.

02:57Speaking of the winds, the strongest gusts

02:59are likely to be across Scotland.

03:01It's that weather system arrives through the early hours,

03:03the gusts of wind of 50 to perhaps 60 miles an hour,

03:08maybe a little more in exposed places.

03:10And then the strong winds transfer from the Western Isles

03:13to the Northern Isles during Friday afternoon.

03:15But everywhere it will be windy.

03:17With this wind direction, we could

03:18see some really strong gusts along the south coast

03:21and particularly across the Dover Strait

03:23late in the day on Friday.

03:24Bear that in mind if you're traveling on Friday,

03:27getting a ferry across the channel.

03:29As for the weekends, well, the weather should be calming down

03:32a little bit, but you can see a bit more about that

03:34if you watch our 10-day trend video.

03:36That's available on YouTube and on Facebook.
