00:00Morning. It is pretty mild out there but for quite a few of us it's also very wet

00:06and windy. We've got warnings in place for the weather today. Heavy rain

00:10spreading steadily northwards through the morning. Much of eastern England

00:14staying dry until late in the day but further west wet and windy really sums

00:19up the conditions. As I said we've got warnings in place. The winds have been

00:23strengthening through the night, very gusty around the coast of Wales, the east

00:27coast of Northern Ireland. Gusts of 50-60mph, maybe close to 70mph

00:32in exposed locations. Those kind of winds could cause some disruption creating

00:37some power issues. Staying very windy throughout the morning only slowly

00:41easing this afternoon. The wind warning also in force around the coast of

00:45southwest Scotland. But we also have rain warnings in place across Scotland,

00:49across the southwest and a little further north too for Perth and Kinross,

00:53Angus and parts of Aberdeenshire. The rain once it's set in will last for a

00:58good part of the day. So a very wet day here. That rain will creep away from

01:04Wales spreading into the Midlands and easing off as it works its way across

01:08northeast England too. East Anglia and the southeast generally staying dry until

01:11late in the afternoon. The western areas that are starting soggy will turn a bit

01:16brighter come the afternoon. The winds easing a touch but nevertheless it is

01:19going to stay pretty windy throughout and that will have an impact on the

01:23feel of the day because it is going to be mild. We're starting in double digits

01:28and we'll quite widely get up into the teens with a bit of sunshine. Could easily

01:32reach 15 maybe even 16 Celsius but perhaps not feeling all that warm

01:36because of the strength of the wind. Now the winds will continue to ease a little

01:40through the evening and overnight but it's still going to stay pretty gusty.

01:43Bit of a question mark about how much rain we get through the evening across

01:47East Anglia and the southeast and how long it lingers. It could well pep up and

01:51stick around into Saturday morning here. Showers will continue to feed into

01:56northwest Scotland but elsewhere many places having a dry night tonight.

02:00There'll be some clearer skies as well but still reasonably mild not quite as

02:05mild as the night just gone but still for many we are quite a few degrees

02:10above freezing to start Saturday. Many of them will start Saturday dry and fine

02:15and overall a much drier day but question marks will remain about this

02:19rain across East Anglia and the southeast. Potentially quite a soggy start here

02:23tomorrow morning. It may take a while for that rain to pull away but it should

02:27clear and then much brighter skies for most places. A few showers developing

02:32over Wales, the Midlands and southern England and we'll keep some showers on

02:35the brisk wind across northwestern areas but for most the winds lighter

02:39tomorrow, more sunshine, much of the day will be dry. Temperatures at a degree are

02:45so down on today's values but because the winds will be lighter there'll be a

02:48bit more sunshine. I suspect it'll feel pretty pleasant with double digits

02:51almost across the border and some spots in the south still getting up into the

02:56teens. The fine weather doesn't last as we see more wet and windy weather

03:00gathering out in the Atlantic. We lose one weather front from the southeast

03:05then there's the window for many of us on Saturday but look at this. This low

03:09pressure system is going to pep up as it heads its way between the UK and Iceland

03:14but these weather fronts moving in across the UK and look at them squeezing

03:18together the ice bars that tells it's going to be windy. So we've got warnings

03:22in place for the wind and for further rainfall because the ground has now been

03:27wetted up by the by the rainfall over recent days and to come today there

03:32could be further issues from the wind and the rain on Sunday. So there are more

03:35warnings in place. More details on the weekend forecast in Honours weekend
