00:00Welcome along to our national weather updates.

00:03The weather patterns are definitely on the change,

00:05but while there will be some heavy showers this weekend,

00:08some places will still see some warm sunshine.

00:11Here's the bigger picture, the view from space.

00:13We've seen a few showers drifting up from the south,

00:16but there's also a weather front approaching from the northwest.

00:18This bank of cloud and rain is slowly

00:21working into western Scotland.

00:23Quite a soggy afternoon here.

00:25Further south, the showers fading over the Midlands

00:27and eastern England, but we could

00:29see some quite heavy showers across parts of West Wales

00:31and the far southwest of England.

00:33So potential for some thunderstorms also.

00:36So that's an area we need to keep a close eye on.

00:38Elsewhere, I'd say most places dry and bright still

00:41with some good spells of sunshine.

00:43A bit of a breeze coming in from the North Sea,

00:45keeping some of the coasts here a little cooler,

00:47but for most still quite warm and humid,

00:49particularly with some sunshine over the southeast.

00:5225 or 26 is possible.

00:54Feeling cooler with that more persistent rain.

00:57Getting in initially to the west coast of Scotland,

00:59but it is going to turn heavier and we'll

01:01see more rain coming into Northern Ireland

01:03as well as we go through the night.

01:05So this part of the world looking very soggy

01:07as we head into the weekend.

01:10Further south, I'd say still a few heavy showers

01:12around through the evening, but generally fading.

01:14So much of England, Wales and a good part of Scotland

01:17having a dry night.

01:18It's got a stiff wind picking up across the north

01:21and it will be a warmer night across northern Scotland

01:24compared to recently.

01:25In fact, generally a pretty warm night for September

01:28with temperatures in many towns and cities

01:30staying in the mid-teens.

01:32That rain is of course for concern.

01:34We do have a warning in place as it's

01:36likely to continue for much of Saturday

01:38over parts of southwest Scotland and Northern Ireland.

01:40Bounds of rain just kind of moving in and grinding

01:43to a halt. Could be quite a wet day over parts

01:45of northwest Wales, elsewhere for England and Wales.

01:48Some heavy showers breaking out, but not everywhere

01:51seeing that they're going to be very hit and miss.

01:53So if you're desperate for rain,

01:55much of eastern England has been a very dry summer here.

01:58Of course, this is no guarantee that you will see it,

02:00but where those showers do occur,

02:03they are going to be pretty heavy with a lot of rain

02:06falling in a short space of time.

02:08Let's zoom in a little bit, though,

02:09and focus in on this rain across Northern Ireland

02:11and southwest Scotland.

02:12As I said, there is a Met Office yellow warning

02:15in place throughout Saturday.

02:17That rain building up could cause some travel disruption,

02:19even the potential for some local flooding

02:21if that rain really persists in some spots

02:24throughout the day, even into the nighttime period as well.

02:27Under that rain band, feeling quite cool,

02:29but elsewhere, probably quite warm and humid,

02:32particularly in the east in the sunny spells.

02:34If you don't see the showers, pretty pleasant day,

02:3625, 26 degrees Celsius.

02:38The breeze will be picking up across the far southwest,

02:42and that's all circulating around an area of low pressure

02:45that continues to throw bands of showers across the country

02:48as you head through Saturday night and into Sunday.

02:51Could turn quite misty around some of the coasts as well.

02:53That low pressure just sitting there through Saturday,

02:58Sunday, and probably beyond.

03:00And around it, weather fronts will continue

03:02to spiral in bands of rain.

03:04So on Sunday, we'll see a further band of rain

03:07coming in from the west.

03:09Again, could be some heavy downpours mixed in with that,

03:12initially across the west, but working eastwards

03:14as we go through the day.

03:15Behind it, it may well turn brighter for Northern Ireland.

03:18So some sunny spells developing on here

03:20compared to a fairly wet day on Saturday.

03:23So plenty going on with the weather through this weekend.

03:26Again, could be pretty warm and humid still

03:28across parts of the east where we see some sunny spells.

03:31And that low pressure sticking nearby

03:33promises further heavy downpours as we go into next week.

03:38So as I said, plenty going on.

03:39Make sure you stay up to date for more details

03:41on that weather warning.

03:42Check the app or the website.

03:44And of course, keep across everything
