00:00Hello there, welcome to your Thursday morning forecast.

00:04Warnings for rain have been issued throughout Thursday and we'll see some high rainfall

00:08totals.

00:09However, through this morning also, an ice warning extends from the Northern Isles all

00:13the way down, particularly over the higher ground towards border regions, North East

00:16England inland.

00:17Elsewhere, rain warnings will mean we could see some high rainfall totals.

00:21The risk of flooding as well, especially vulnerable places such as the Brecon Beacons where we

00:25could see up to 80mm over the next 12 hours or so, and also Aberdeenshire seeing up to

00:31110mm of rain.

00:33So it is a wet and windy start to the day, still some snow over the highest ground.

00:37The air remains cold.

00:39Showery bursts also for Northern Ireland, Northern England, the Midlands, Wales, Central

00:43Southern England as well as the West Country.

00:45Further east though, a chilly morning and a mostly cloudy one.

00:48Drier skies here though.

00:51Wherever you are, the winds will be fairly strong and they'll pick up to Galeforce along

00:55the coast through the day across more western areas.

00:58As the rain intensifies through the morning across Northern Ireland, pushing in across

01:02West Wales, the Isle of Man as well as western parts of Scotland and the West Country.

01:07That rain extends towards Northern England and much of Scotland through the afternoon.

01:10And some patchy rain also for the eastern strip of England.

01:14But further east down towards East Anglia and the South East, you'll see some dry weather

01:17until much later on in the day.

01:19By lunchtime, a rain warning also for the Midlands where we could see some high rainfall

01:23totals.

01:24The risk of some surface water issues here as Northern Ireland becomes drier through

01:28the afternoon.

01:29Temperatures here, 11 degrees Celsius, so a milder end to the day, but a wet evening

01:34to come across much of Scotland, Northern England, the Midlands, eastern counties.

01:38Further spells of heavy rain and then some clearer skies for a time through the early

01:42hours of Friday morning as rain becomes confined to the Northern Isles.

01:46But waiting in the wings, another area of low pressure, strong winds and showery bursts

01:50of rain.

01:51So as we head through Friday morning, not as cold as it has been, even so, it's another

01:55windy day, especially towards the west.

01:58Brighter skies will emerge across the Midlands southeastwards, so you should see some dry

02:02weather through the morning.

02:03But these showers towards the west will merge to form longer spells of rain, especially

02:07across Wales, northwest England, Northern Ireland, western parts of Scotland, yet again

02:11down towards the West Country.

02:12And watch out for some high waves associated with those strong winds.

02:16The showers then arrive across Scotland through the afternoon, extend towards the Midlands,

02:20eastern counties, and then eventually we'll see some showery bursts just move in across

02:24the southeast.

02:25So a showery day on Friday, leading into an unsettled weekend with rain or showers.

02:29I'll see you later.
