00:00Hello, welcome to your national weather update.

00:03A dry weekend for most of us and a sunny one to come also,

00:06thanks to a large area of high pressure

00:09that's ambling in from the Atlantic.

00:11These weather fronts close to the far northwest of Scotland

00:15by Saturday will bring some patchy rain.

00:17And at the moment, it's far from completely dry.

00:20Through the rest of Friday, some showers

00:21across northern England and central and eastern Scotland,

00:24one or two for North Wales and the North Midlands.

00:26But further south, it is dry with sunny spells,

00:30a fresher feel.

00:31Actually, temperatures in most places

00:33below average for the time of year.

00:35But some good spells of sunshine for northern Ireland.

00:37Western Scotland could see highs of 17 or 18 degrees.

00:41Further south, we're looking at low to maybe mid-20s.

00:43But feeling cooler with these showers over northeast

00:46England, eastern Scotland, still a few of those

00:48around this evening if you're heading out onto the roads.

00:51But they should fade pretty quickly.

00:53So for most, it's a fine Friday evening,

00:55a dry and a clear Friday night until that weather front

00:58arrives, bringing rain into the Western Isles

01:00and then the Highlands through the early hours.

01:02That will start to lift the temperatures

01:04as the cloud spills in.

01:06But for most, ahead of that with the clear skies

01:09and the light winds, it'll be a pretty fresh night,

01:11certainly compared to recent nights with temperatures

01:13in many places down into single figures.

01:16So a coolish start to Saturday, but a sunny start

01:19for England, Wales, much of southern Scotland,

01:23eastern parts of northern Ireland.

01:25It will cloud over for northern Ireland

01:26with a little bit of rain and that cloud bringing

01:29some rain across Scotland as we go through the day,

01:31mostly focused across the far north.

01:34But a few showers are possible through central parts

01:36of Scotland also.

01:38No such luck if you're after showers further south

01:40that is dry, fine with sunny periods.

01:43And after a coolish start, feeling pretty warm

01:46by the afternoon, temperatures getting quite widely

01:49on Saturday afternoon into the low to mid-20s

01:53across the south.

01:54Again, with more cloud further north, it won't be as warm.

01:56We're looking at high teens generally.

01:58As we head through Saturday evening,

02:00any patchy rain across eastern Scotland, I suspect,

02:03will tend to drift away.

02:04But the rain will linger over northern parts

02:06of the Highlands, the Western Isles, and the Northern Isles.

02:09Quite breezy here also.

02:10That's all courtesy of a weather front

02:13that's just wriggling around through this weekend

02:15and may well bring some more rain to western Scotland

02:18on Sunday.

02:19But for most, that area of high pressure

02:21is just continuing to dominate.

02:24As I said, just ambling in from the Atlantic.

02:26So Sunday will again, for the vast majority,

02:28be dry and fine with sunny spells

02:30as that rain across the far northwest.

02:33A warmer day on Sunday and signs that things

02:36could hot up a little next week with potentially

02:38in the south temperatures back into the low 30s.

02:41More on that if you stay up to date
