00:00Hello, no Storm Dara this weekend but there's still plenty going on, always

00:05something to talk about and it'll be a weekend of contrasts when many places

00:10across the south in particular finally see a bit of sunshine. High pressure to

00:14the west, high pressure to the east, low to the north, low to the south and it's

00:18this weather front which is sweeping away the cloud or trying to at least as

00:23we go through the night. As we see the clearest skies across Scotland and

00:26Northern Ireland it will turn a bit chilly. The weather front itself has a

00:29little bit of rain on it but nothing too heavy. Staying quite murky and misty

00:33across the south, poor visibility on some of the higher routes but the cloud will

00:38keep the temperatures up across England and Wales once more so we're above

00:42freezing here. Some pockets of frost likely over Northern England and

00:45certainly in eastern Scotland through some sheltered parts we could dip down

00:50in the countryside to minus two minus three Celsius. Some showers coming in

00:53across the far north of Scotland, quite a blustery gusty start to the day across

00:58Western Scotland with some showers feeding in here and down through the

01:01Irish Sea so the odd shower getting into North and West Wales. A grey start for

01:06East Anglia and Southern England so you may have to wait a few hours before

01:10finally the skies turn a little bluer after what's been a very grey week. We

01:15should see some decent spells of sunshine over the Midlands, Eastern and

01:18Southern England by the afternoon. Same goes for South Wales. The showers in

01:22North Wales tending to fade but the cloud thickening once more in the

01:26northwest, another weather front bringing in cloud and rain to Western

01:30Scotland and the west of Northern Ireland by the end of the afternoon. The

01:33winds picking up once more here too. Temperature wise tomorrow well six, seven,

01:37eight Celsius. Generally in the south a touch below average but because it's

01:41been so drab I suspect a little bit of sunshine will make it feel a bit warmer

01:46than recent days. The winds though are going to strengthen further and that

01:50patchy rain will push southwards during Saturday evening so turning a bit damp

01:54over Southern Scotland then Northern England and then we're into much more

01:58cloud spilling back in across the country. Some clearer skies across East

02:02Anglia in the southeast. Lasting well into the night will allow those

02:05temperatures to drop down into single figures, well into single figures. Whereas

02:09further west what we'll actually see through Saturday night is temperatures

02:13starting to rise so by the time we get to Sunday temperatures higher than they

02:17have been through most of Saturday. Some places starting Sunday in double digits.

02:21That's because that's a thickening cloud and the rain is coming in from a warm

02:25front and tucked in here that's called a warm sector so milder air is pushing in

02:31as this front moves through. So it is going to turn milder during Sunday but

02:36those weather fronts also likely to bring quite a lot of cloud. Rain at times

02:40chiefly over hills and coasts in the west. Many eastern areas will stay dry

02:45may brighten up at times but generally we are back to those grey skies. It will

02:50be a lot milder however. Temperatures in double figures across the board 11 or 12

02:55degrees Celsius but it's also going to turn windy on Sunday. Some lively gusts

03:00of wind especially over and to the east of the Pennines but also in the

03:04northwest of Scotland where the rain will keep on coming through Sunday night

03:09and into Monday. This is something we need to keep a watch on because we're

03:12setting up what's called a warm conveyor belt and that moisture in here through

03:17Sunday lasting into Monday could actually drop quite a lot of rain as we

03:21go through Sunday night Monday and even into Tuesday. These weather fronts just

03:25wiggle around. Depends on the exact location of those weather fronts but it

03:28could be a very wet 48 hours in northwest Scotland. So we do have a Met

03:33Office yellow warning in place from Sunday into Tuesday. So keep up to date

03:39with the forecast. Of course you can follow us on social media. If you're
