00:00Welcome to your National Weather Outlook. Kind of a sunshine sandwich on Friday

00:05with much of northern England, the Midlands and Wales having a fine day. We

00:09do have some scattered showers further north and across the southeast there is

00:13this band of cloud in the satellite image. You can see on the radar there

00:16some heavy bursts of rain and that's not going anywhere. It's a slow-moving

00:20weather front that's likely to pep up at times through the day. So across the far

00:24southeast that rain is going to be quite heavy and could last into Saturday. So it

00:29could cause a few problems and we do have a Met Office yellow warning in

00:33place covering parts of Kent and Sussex. Away from the southeast though as I said

00:37many places dry and bright. The old shower for Wales and southwest England

00:40and we'll see a few more drifting across Northern Ireland into eastern parts of

00:44Scotland. But still some sunshine to be had. Temperatures around or perhaps a

00:49little below average across Scotland and Northern Ireland. But further south we

00:53could get up to 18-19 degrees Celsius. But feeling cooler with that persistent

00:58rain across the southeast. Now that is a cause for concern. There is some very

01:02heavy rain mixed up in that and just how much of it falls across parts of Kent

01:06and Sussex still open to a bit of doubt. Most of it looks like being out at sea

01:09but if it if it does linger through the night and into Saturday I said it could

01:13cause a few issues. Certainly a lot of spray and surface water on the roads. The M2 and

01:18the M23 for example. Away from the far southeast though the weather a bit more

01:22straightforward. It's northerly breezes generally clear skies. The odd shower

01:27drifting in on that breeze across West Wales perhaps southwest England one or

01:31two maybe along North Sea coast. But for many dry and clear and as a result it's

01:35heading a bit chilly. Temperatures well down into single figures across parts of

01:40northern Britain and so not far of freezing through some sheltered glens

01:44across Scotland. With that cloud persisting across the southeast

01:47temperatures holding up here a little bit higher. But that rain could still be

01:51around on Saturday morning. As I say some uncertainty about exactly when that will

01:54clear away. A few showers drifting into East Anglia and coming into Lincolnshire

02:00and Yorkshire as well. And one or two through the day could develop over North

02:04Wales and perhaps come the afternoon into parts of the Midlands. But I

02:07suspect they'll be pretty well scattered. Most places staying dry and bright with

02:10some sunshine. Certainly across much of Scotland and Northern Ireland are fine.

02:14If slightly fresh feeling day and eventually even the rain in the

02:18southeast should peter out. Temperature wise so dropping down a little bit. A

02:24little bit below average mostly 15 to 17 degrees Celsius. And it's going to turn

02:28colder still as we go through Saturday night. It will be fairly chilly. Still a

02:33few showers around across parts of the Midlands. Southeast England heading out

02:36on Saturday night. But for most it will be dry and clear. And for most high

02:41pressure will bring a fine day on Sunday as well. This high toppling in will

02:45finally get rid of that weather front close to the southeast. And to say this

02:49high pressure bringing a dry bright day for the vast majority on Sunday. But

02:54notice up to the north deep the ugly looking area of low pressure. And this

02:58weather front is approaching the isobar squeezing together as well. So it is

03:02going to turn wet across northern Scotland by the end of Sunday. And it's

03:06going to turn quite windy as well. And then this cold front swings southwards

03:10bringing some rain with it. But look at this really opening the door to a

03:14northerly wind. That is going to bring a very significant chill as we head into

03:19Monday. Significant wind chill for sure. So turning much colder as we head into

03:24Monday. The cold spell probably won't last all that long. But it's definitely

03:28going to be chillier into next week. More on that and details of that weather

03:32warning if you follow us across social media.
