00:00Hello there, good morning. Temperatures are on the up, plenty of warm spring sunshine to go around,

00:06but could this lead to a risk of thunderstorms over the weekend? Well, before we talk about that,

00:10let's talk about Friday. So it's going to be quite a chilly start, potentially some patches of mist

00:15and fog in places, but any of this clearing quite quickly. And with high pressure dominating,

00:20that means lots of dry, sunny weather on the cards, particularly across central areas where

00:24it was quite cloudy yesterday afternoon. The only caveat could be across the very far north

00:29and northwest of Scotland, potentially some clouds spilling in here, maybe even some light

00:33outbreaks of rain later into the afternoon. But for most, it's going to be dry, feeling warm in the

00:39sunshine. Highs reaching around 21 degrees Celsius, but you're really going to feel that warmth across

00:45eastern areas where it's been fairly chilly through most of the week. If we compare temperatures to 24

00:50hours prior, many areas are going to be a good three to six degrees warmer. So really feeling the warmth

00:55across eastern areas and that sunshine as we head through into this afternoon.

01:00Then into the evening, remaining dry, there were just a chance of some light outbreaks of rain

01:05pushing in across the northwest. Once again, more clouds spilling in here. And with plenty of clear

01:10skies to come, once again, it could turn fairly chilly under clear skies, possibly once again some

01:16localised mist and fog, but otherwise staying mostly dry and clear.

01:20So another fairly chilly start to Saturday. But once again, it's going to be a dry and pleasant

01:27day ahead. Wall to wall sunshine in some spaces. But across the far northwest, once again, just more

01:33cloud feeding in here, potentially some light outbreaks of rain. Western parts of Northern Ireland

01:37too could catch this. And this just might make the sunshine turn a little bit hazy at times. But still,

01:43lots of pleasant warm sunshine around. Highs of around 22 degrees Celsius. So not a bad start to the weekend.

01:49Now we do just need to keep an eye out across the south as we head into Sunday. Just this area of

01:55low pressure could potentially push up something across the southwest. Heavy showers, these possibly

02:00turning into some thundery downpours. So something we need to keep an eye on for Sunday. Also, once again,

02:06more clouds spilling into the northwest. Also a chance of some light outbreaks of rain here. But for many of us,

02:12it should be a dry end to the weekend with sunny spells. But for more information, you can catch Aidan on

02:18YouTube with our weekend weather. Otherwise, that's it from me. Bye bye.
