00:00Hello there. Well, it's a calmer weekend ahead, particularly if you compare it to last weekend.

00:06But during the week it's been awfully grey and drab at times. So let's see if there's

00:10any brighter weather on its way for the weekend. So we'll start off then with the bigger picture

00:14where we have a cold front that's slowly going to sink its way towards the southeast of the

00:18country during the early hours of Saturday. And then we've got another frontal system

00:22moving its way into the far northwest later Saturday and into Sunday. And then it's high

00:27pressure generally dominating towards the south of the country. And as we find ourselves

00:31on that northern flank, that's creating a squeeze in the Isobars. So a blustery second

00:35half to the weekend, particularly across the far north of Scotland, where once again another

00:40frontal system moves into the far north. So it's here where they've really drawn the short

00:44straw in terms of any rainfall. But the good news is for the second half of the weekend,

00:48if I just rewind the clock, it is bringing in some milder air. So on Sunday, if you're

00:53not a fan of the chillier weather, Sunday looks like to be the milder day out of the

00:57weekend. Before we get on to that, though, let's take a look at the details for Saturday.

01:02So clouds, some outbreaks of rain and drizzle generally clearing the far southeast during

01:06the early morning and then plenty of dry and bright weather around brighter than what it's

01:11been during the week. We can't rule out a few showers, particularly around coastal areas.

01:15And then it's later on when we start to see a bit of a change across the far northwest

01:19outbreaks of rain moving in here for western parts of Scotland, perhaps later on across

01:23western parts of Northern Ireland and turning quite blustery behind these outbreaks of rain

01:28to temperatures around about average for the time of year, likely to see highs around seven

01:33to eight Celsius, mainly across the south. Then through into the evening, we'll see more

01:40and more of this cloud slowly spill its way across parts of England and Wales, some rain

01:44and drizzle at times, though it will generally fizzle out by the time we reach the morning,

01:48mainly becoming confined to western hills and to the far north of the still those outbreaks

01:53of rain continuing across the far west of Scotland. So some quite persistent rain here,

01:57but largely dry across the far south and southeast. So temperatures generally are staying above

02:02freezing under those cloudier skies, but could be a little bit chillier towards the far south

02:07as we head through into Sunday morning, perhaps some spots of frost here if we see any of

02:11those prolonged clear spells. Now, as we head into Sunday, we are expecting some quite blustery

02:17weather, particularly across the far north of Scotland, where we see these pink colours.

02:22So a risk even in inland areas, we could see gusts between 40 to 50 miles per hour. But

02:26across the far north, these gusts could reach up to 60 miles per hour. So do keep an eye

02:30on our website for any warnings for those as we may see some wind warnings just across

02:34the far north of Scotland. And in general, for all, it is going to be a blustery day

02:38as we head into Saturday. But weather wise, perhaps a bit more cloud around for the second

02:43half of the weekend. Still some rain and drizzle, though this mainly confined to western

02:48hilly areas. The best of the brightness, the best of the brightness, so it's just going

02:51to be to the east of any high ground. But across the far northwest, once again, we are

02:56going to see those more persistent outbreaks of rain. This could be heavy at times, particularly

03:00across the far north, and that's where it's going to be particularly blustery through

03:03the day. So as we head through into Monday here, we've got 24 hour rainfall totals, and

03:08this just picks up the far northwest where we see frontal system after frontal systems.

03:12So that's really going to pep up the rainfall totals we could see between just well above

03:1725 millimetres here. But by the time we get to Tuesday, this could increase even more.

03:22So once again, a chance we could see some rain warnings across the far northwest of

03:25Scotland. So once again, keep an eye on our website for those. In terms of temperatures,

03:29though, as I say, it is bringing in some milder air, so widely above average for the time

03:34of year. Highs of around 12 to 13 Celsius, particularly to the east of any high ground.

03:40So that's it from me then. I hope you have a lovely weekend. Bye bye for now.
