00:00Hello there.

00:01It's going to be a much brighter afternoon for many areas, but further heavy rain as

00:05we head into tomorrow with another weather warning in force.

00:08But before we talk about that, let's talk about this afternoon, where there's going

00:11to be much more sunshine around, and with lighter winds, it's going to feel pleasant

00:15and warm in the sunshine too.

00:16Now, we can't totally rule out the odd shower, particularly across central and southern parts,

00:21but they should be fairly isolated.

00:23That's away from Northern Ireland, parts of Scotland, though.

00:26More cloud here, still a little bit breezy across the very far northeast of Scotland

00:30too, and had a chance we could see a few more showers in these areas, but elsewhere it should

00:35be largely dry.

00:36Highs of 17 to 18 degrees across parts of the southeast, still a little bit cooler across

00:41Northern Ireland, parts of Scotland, highs just about reaching into the double digits here.

00:47Now as we progress through into the evening, most showers, if there are any, should eventually

00:51ease away, lingering on for a time across parts of Scotland, but further cloud, outbreaks

00:56of rain pushing in from the southwest.

00:58And that's going to lead to quite a damp start across Wales, Devon and Cornwall, and parts

01:02of Northern Ireland.

01:03But elsewhere, plenty of dry weather, plenty of clear skies, but that means it's going to

01:07be a cooler night.

01:08We'll likely see some frost, particularly across the north, by the time we reach the morning.

01:12Perhaps even the odd spot of mist and fog by the time we reach the morning as well.

01:16But a very different start in parts of the west, milder and with outbreaks of rain.

01:21And that rain is going to continue through much of the day, I'm afraid, across western areas.

01:25It could be heavy at times, particularly around hilly areas, and it could sound quite breezy

01:30too as this low pressure system drifts its way northeastwards.

01:33But across the far east, it's going to be a much brighter day on offer.

01:37Once again, plenty of sunshine and feeling warm in the sunshine too.

01:40But those temperatures are going to struggle across Northern Ireland, parts of Wales, parts

01:44of the south and southwest where we see those outbreaks of rain.

01:47So cooler here and quite a wet day on offer.

01:51Now, as we progress further into the evening, areas of quite persistent rain means totals

01:56are soon going to add up here across the southwest.

01:58So we do have a warning issued for much of Devon and Cornwall.

02:01So do keep an eye on our website for more information about that.

02:05But eventually we'll see more and more rain creep its way in from the west.

02:09And that's as a result of this area of low pressure.

02:11But it eventually fizzles out as we head our way later Saturday through into Sunday.

02:16So actually Easter Sunday is going to be quite a bright day for many, particularly across

02:19eastern areas.

02:20But notice low pressure, never too far away as we head our way into bank holiday Monday.

02:25So further rain on its way here.

02:27So do keep an eye on our YouTube channel for any updates on those, particularly later on

02:32YouTube.

02:33Alex Birkhill will be going through the full bank holiday weekend.

02:36Otherwise that's it from me.

02:37Bye bye.
