00:00Good morning, happy Saturday. Have you woken up to a bit of frost this morning? It did

00:05turn pretty chilly under some clear skies overnight and with that we do have a few pockets

00:10of fog and freezing fog around. But once that clears away, it's a largely bright picture

00:14for many of us and it's going to stay mostly dry and often bright if not sunny as we go

00:19through the day. There are a few isolated showers around, particularly across some parts

00:24of eastern northeastern England, but most areas avoiding these. Although worth noting

00:29there is a fair bit of cloud across well initially Orkney and Shetland and with this

00:33a few outbreaks of rain and all that pushing into the far north of mainland Scotland as

00:37well as we go through the afternoon. Most places though having a largely dry day with

00:42some decent bright or sunny spells and in the sunshine while not feeling too bad. Generally

00:47temperatures peaking high single figures, low double digits even in parts of Scotland

00:51we should just about see highs of around 10 or 11 Celsius. Worth bearing in mind though

00:55in the far southeast, a brisk wind here and for some temperatures will be pegged back

01:00to around six or seven. And when you factor in that wind, it's actually going to feel

01:04pretty chilly indeed. Any showers across England and Wales through the day will die out as

01:10we go through this evening and we will then have some clear skies developing across southern

01:15areas. Bit of a north south split though when it comes to cloud amount overnight. The cloud

01:19across the north will become a bit more widespread, pushing across much of Scotland and into northern

01:24England as well and a few more outbreaks of rain here and there. But further south,

01:28yes, lots of clear skies and under these clear skies temperatures in the south will drop

01:33a little bit lower than they did last night. Many places dipping a bit below freezing,

01:38rural spots dipping a few degrees below, so a relatively harsh frost in quite a few spots

01:43and again there could be some fog or freezing fog patches. A different story further north

01:47though with the cloud and the air up here will be a little bit milder than it has been

01:52recently and so temperatures not dropping as low as they have done through some recent

01:56nights. Then on Sunday, a bright, a chilly frosty but bright start across the south and

02:02the west. But as we go through the day, the clouds going to become more widespread. So

02:07most places turning a bit grey. There will be some glimmers of brightness here or there,

02:11but on the whole, a cloudier picture by the time that we get into the afternoon. Again

02:16towards the south and west staying dry. Further north and east though, a few outbreaks of

02:20rain, maybe even a bit of sleet or snow over some higher ground, but none of this looks

02:25especially heavy. Temperatures on paper look pretty similar, maybe even a touch higher

02:29than today, but with more cloud around, less sunshine, if anything, it will probably feel

02:35a little bit chillier. Now as we go into next week, the high that's dominated the story

02:40through this weekend will change its position slightly and that means our wind direction

02:45is going to change as well. We'll say goodbye to the cold northerly and instead it will

02:49go around initially to a southeasterly and later a southwesterly. So we are going to

02:53see our temperatures rising. It's going to turn markedly milder, if not warmer, as we

02:57go towards the end of the week. But with that then, we're also likely to see a bit of wet

03:02weather pushing into western parts towards the end of the week as well. With the rise

03:05in temperatures, worth bearing in mind, our days are getting markedly longer at this time

03:10of year. Thursday is the spring equinox, marks the start of astronomical spring and just

03:15a few days before that on Monday we have the equinox, after which days will be longer

03:19than nights. That's welcome news for most of us. But whatever you're up to this weekend,

03:23I do hope you have a great one and I'll see you again soon. Bye bye.
