00:00Hi there, and welcome to the Met Office weekend weather forecast.

00:03Significant changes are on the way for the UK's weather over the weekend as the high

00:08pressure that has kept things relatively benign for some time begins to move to the west.

00:13As that happens, the weather over the weekend turns more changeable, more unsettled.

00:19But at the same time, this cold front introduces colder air initially just to northern parts

00:24of the UK and the temperature contrasts between the cold air in the far north and the milder

00:29air further south will lead to an intense band of rain moving through Scotland on Friday

00:34evening, so expect some heavy rain for a short time and some gusty winds as that front sinks

00:40south.

00:4110pm there for Glasgow and Edinburgh, pushing into Belfast around midnight.

00:45That front is sinking south though, and ahead of it, we keep the same old weather pattern.

00:50Relatively benign conditions, variable amounts of cloud across much of southern and central

00:55England and Wales.

00:56Some cloud break, leading to a few fog and frost pockets first thing Saturday, but otherwise

01:01a lot of cloud and some drizzle here and there.

01:04Brighter skies behind the weather front across Cumbria into parts of Northumberland as well

01:09as Scotland and Northern Ireland first thing Saturday, but you'll notice a change in the

01:15temperature.

01:16It's going to start to feel much colder as these winds arrive from the north-northwest.

01:19They'll also carry frequent showers, which will be falling as sleet and snow over northern

01:24Scotland, particularly for Shetland, where there could be some settling of the wet snow

01:27above a couple of hundred metres.

01:29Meanwhile, it stays relatively mild further south, albeit very cloudy, and some outbreaks

01:35of rain sinking into central parts as this front moves south.

01:39The front moves south, the colder air begins to spread south, but it's briefly interrupted

01:44on Sunday by this weather system sliding in from the Atlantic and containing milder air

01:49once again, but also some outbreaks of rain.

01:53Those outbreaks of rain are likely to push into Northern Ireland first thing, as well

01:57as parts of south-west Scotland, eventually that showery rain turning up across Wales

02:01and western and northern England.

02:04To the south, east and north of that, we're going to see some brighter weather and northern

02:09Scotland is still subject to some frequent sleet and snow showers, still feeling very

02:13cold here, whilst further south it's relatively mild and we're likely to see some rain later

02:18in the day for southern areas, but throughout much of the afternoon it's bright spells and

02:22one or two showers.

02:24Now these outbreaks of rain across central parts will be heavy and persistent at times.

02:29There's an element of uncertainty still with this system about how much the area of low

02:33pressure it's associated with deepens.

02:36Most likely, this is the kinds of weather we can expect on Sunday, but there's a smaller

02:41chance, around 15% chance, that a deeper, more developed low crosses the country and

02:46that would of course lead to more widespread heavy rain and some very strong winds.

02:50So something that we're still keeping an eye on as we go through the next couple of days.

02:55Nevertheless, it's northern Scotland where we're likely to see the wintry weather continuing

02:58on Sunday, perhaps some hill snow for the Pennines as this system moves away and it

03:03will move away so that at the start of next week we see colder, northerly winds sweep

03:08south across most of the UK.

03:10But once again, later Monday, we've got one of these weather systems in the mix arriving

03:15from the Atlantic and again containing milder air at outbreaks of rain.

03:20And this is another one of the situations where there's some uncertainty about the development

03:23of an area of low pressure arriving from the Atlantic and the exact track.

03:28Now at the moment, the most likely scenario is that it will bring some outbreaks of rain

03:32and perhaps sleet or hill snow to southern parts of the UK as a relatively shallow area

03:36of low pressure, whilst the northern two-thirds of the UK sees bright spells, cold winds and

03:42also some sleet and snow showers primarily affecting coastal parts.

03:46But there are other scenarios, one in which there's no low pressure at all and another

03:51in which there's a very well-developed area of low pressure that moves in further north

03:56across the UK and brings widespread heavy rain in the south and some persistent snow

04:01further north with the risk of blizzards over hills and some very strong winds.

04:05So of course that would be the most impactful scenario and something we're keeping a close

04:10eye on as we go through the next few days.

04:12But like I say, this is the most likely setup and hopefully we'll have a bit more detail

04:16on what you can expect into the start of next week as this wintry weather continues in our

04:21Weather Studio Live which you can catch live on Friday at 12.15pm or you can watch on Catch
