00:00Hi there, Thursday has been a day of contrasts, some decent blue skies in the east whilst

00:06cloud has been steadily increasing in the west, albeit slowly ahead of this slow moving

00:12weather front and that's the feature that will increasingly bring wet weather to Northern

00:16Ireland, Wales and the south west during the evening and overnight.

00:20It has been damp for the north west of Scotland but with drier weather elsewhere it will be

00:26a notable change into the evening as showery rain moves into the south west as well as

00:31Wales, some longer spells of heavy rain at times here and that wetter weather moves into

00:36Northern Ireland by midnight.

00:38Some bits and pieces of rain across other western parts of the country and increasingly

00:42cloudy, increasingly gloomy in many places as the cloud lowers but that means it's going

00:47to be a mild start to Friday, 11-13 Celsius generally.

00:52Now we start off with those grey skies fairly widely across the country, a contrast for

00:56eastern parts compared with Thursday morning but still some cloud breaks here and there

01:00particularly to the north east of higher ground and some breaks developing elsewhere especially

01:05south Wales and the south west as the slow moving weather front straddles central parts

01:10of the country bringing further rain.

01:12Some heavy showers developing especially in the south east and then later some blustery

01:16showers for the south west and south Wales as the wind picks up, that will make it feel

01:20a little cooler compared with Thursday but still temperatures into the teens in most

01:25places.

01:26The clear slot of weather moves northwards as this weakening weather front pushes into

01:32Northern England and then Scotland overnight.

01:35That's going to bring a lot of cloud for Northern Scotland by the end of the night and further

01:39persistent rain for the outer Hebrides but elsewhere clear spells here and there and

01:44some mist and fog patches first thing Saturday, certainly a cooler start or you might say

01:49a colder start for many with temperatures in the mid to high single figures but a bright

01:54start for Wales, Western England, I think we're likely to see some cloud once again

01:59returning to East Anglia in the south east, perhaps some rain for a time during Saturday

02:03but the wettest weather will be for North West Scotland moving into Northern Ireland

02:08during the afternoon making it feel a little less than pleasant.

02:12Then more unsettled weather for North West Scotland on Sunday whilst much of the rest

02:17of the country mostly stays fine until after dark.

02:22We'll have all the latest on our YouTube channel.

02:23Bye bye.
