00:00Hello there, good evening. Storm Darragh is set to bring a very unsettled weekend with

00:05heavy outbreaks of rain, some snow across hills in Scotland and some very strong winds.

00:11There are multiple Met Office warnings issued including yellow and amber warnings and a

00:16red wind warning issued for western parts of Wales and parts of south-west England too.

00:21So do stay up to date on our website for those. Starting off then by taking a look at the

00:26bigger picture then, here's Storm Darragh just to the north-west of the country. It's

00:30going to drag in some frontal systems bringing heavy outbreaks of rain, snow at times across

00:35parts of Scotland. And take a look at the squeeze in the Isle of Bars too, so some very

00:39strong and gusty winds across a large portion of the country, particularly in the west as

00:43we head into the overnight period. So heavy outbreaks of rain, there's continuing to fall

00:48as snow over high ground in Scotland and very blustery winds across the country, particularly

00:53in western areas where we do have those amber and red warnings issued. So some gales, if

00:59not severe gales at times as we head into the overnight period. And I do just want to

01:04draw your attention to Northern Ireland where actually for a time overnight those winds

01:07are going to fall very light and then as soon as that system starts to cross its way eastwards

01:14from Northern Ireland, those winds are going to strengthen quite dramatically. So this

01:18is where we're going to start to see the gales, the severe gales. We could see wind gust speeds

01:21of between 70 to 80 miles per hour, perhaps up to 90 miles per hour where we do have that

01:27red warning issued. So it is going to be a very blustery night. And taking a look at

01:31the temperatures too, we could see lows of around 2 to 3 Celsius but in those brisk winds

01:36that's really going to add on to the wind chill too. So it's actually going to feel

01:39much chillier in reality. Then through into Saturday, still multiple Met Office warnings

01:45enforced. We'll continue to see those outbreaks of rain as that low continues to swirl around

01:50the country. Still heavy at times and still falling as snow across hills in Scotland

01:55as well. And it's still going to be a very blustery day. Those strong winds continuing

01:59through much of the day and still the amber warning enforced for wind and also for rain

02:04for parts of the country as well. And taking a look at temperatures as well across parts

02:09of the south, highs of around 8 to 9 Celsius. But once again in those very brisk winds it's

02:14actually going to feel much chillier in reality when you add on that wind chill. So a very

02:18unsettled day and feeling very chilly in those blustery winds alongside those outbreaks

02:24of rain as well. Then through into the evening we will continue to see further outbreaks

02:30of rain becoming more confined to eastern areas, more likely to see some clear spells

02:34across Northern Ireland, parts of Scotland too. But even here still a few showers moving

02:39through and still falling as snow across high ground too. So perhaps some more drier weather

02:43on the cards but still plenty of rain across the east and southeast. And once again it

02:48is going to be a rather chilly night on offer particularly in parts of the north. Then

02:54through for the second half of the weekend we're likely to see things calm down slightly

02:58but we are still going to have outbreaks of rain continuing across the east and southeastern

03:03parts of England. This still could be heavy at times too. A few showers starting to feed

03:08in as well across eastern coasts of Scotland and England. Once again still a chance these

03:12could fall as snow across higher ground. The best of the brightness likely across Northern

03:17Ireland, western parts of Scotland. It is going to be largely dry across Wales and parts

03:21of the southwest too but those strong winds are set to continue. So it's going to be another

03:25blustery day but winds not quite as strong as they're likely to be Friday night into

03:30Saturday. And temperatures once again highs of around 9 Celsius but still in those brisk

03:36winds once again adding to the wind chill there. So another blustery and chilly day

03:41on offer for the second half of the weekend. So Storm Dara is set to bring very strong

03:46winds, heavy rain likely to cause some disruption as we head into the weekend and there are

03:51multiple Met Office warnings in force. So do stay up to date to those on our website

03:57and also across social media. We'll be giving you updates on the storm. That's it from me.

04:01Stay safe. Bye bye.
