I have good news if you're enjoying the fine, warm, sunny weather many of us have at the moment.
00:06
Less good news if you're hoping for a bit of rain.
00:08
Not much of that for most of us as we go through this weekend, but there could be some heavy rain around.
00:13
I'll come on to that in a second.
00:15
Starting off, though, looking at our bigger picture, and we are still heavily under the influence of high pressure.
00:20
That high, though, has drifted a little bit towards the east compared to earlier on in the week,
00:25
and so that's changed our wind direction a little bit.
00:27
It's allowed for some slightly warmer air to push its way in, so we are seeing our temperatures rising.
00:32
And with that wind direction, those eastern parts, which have always felt quite a bit fresher through this week,
00:38
they're starting to warm up quite nicely as well.
00:40
But looking in a bit more detail as we go through this afternoon and towards the far northwest of Scotland,
00:46
a bit more cloud here could be a few spots of rain.
00:49
Otherwise, it's a fine picture across the board.
00:52
Lots of sunshine on offer, and in that sunshine, like I said, feeling pretty warm.
00:56
Temperatures are a little bit higher than they were over the rest of the week.
01:00
More places getting into the high teens or low 20s, that kind of thing.
01:03
And like I said, towards those eastern coastal parts, starting to feel a bit warmer than it has done recently as well.
01:10
More fine weather to come as we go through this evening.
01:12
Lots of sunshine to look forward to.
01:13
And then a largely dry, clear night.
01:15
To say largely dry, because there's always the chance of a bit of rain pushing into the far northwest of Scotland,
01:21
but otherwise plenty of clear skies.
01:23
And with generally light winds, although we do have that warmer air pushing in,
01:27
I'm still expecting it to be a little bit of a chilly night, similar to some recent nights so far this week.
01:33
And so we could see a touch of frost maybe in some prone spots and maybe a few pockets of mist and fog.
01:40
Most places, though, avoiding this and staying a few degrees above freezing.
01:43
Nonetheless, a bit of a fresh start to the day on Saturday.
01:46
But with plenty of sunshine on offer, once the sun does come up,
01:50
it's going to help lift our temperatures quite nicely, quite quickly.
01:53
Like I said, always a bit of a cloud, a bit of rain perhaps towards the northwest.
01:59
Otherwise, through Saturday as well, it's looking mostly fine and lots of dry, sunny weather on offer.
02:05
And our temperatures are going to be even higher.
02:07
A greater chance of getting into the low to mid-twenties for many places.
02:11
So feeling pretty warm indeed in that sunshine.
02:14
The winds aren't going to be especially strong.
02:16
Just a little bit of breeze towards the northeast perhaps, but otherwise generally light winds.
02:20
So adding to that relatively warm feel to things.
02:24
Now as we go through later on Saturday, we do need to pay attention to some hefty showers.
02:28
That are coming in from the south.
02:30
Now these are likely to feed their weight northwards.
02:32
Still some uncertainty as to how far these are going to spread.
02:37
But do be aware, overnight, Saturday night into Sunday and then through Sunday itself,
02:41
there's a reasonable chance that we could see some heavy, perhaps even thundery showers
02:45
affecting parts of the southwest in particular, maybe south Wales.
02:49
Like I said, some question marks as to exactly where these showers are going to be.
02:53
They could be a bit more widespread both east and northwards.
02:55
And also this front towards the northwest hasn't really pushed away entirely.
03:00
There's the potential that some of this rain could feed into northwestern parts of Scotland
03:05
as we go through Sunday as well.
03:06
But actually, otherwise, away from these two areas of, well, some question marks,
03:12
it's looking like a largely fine day again for most of us and pretty warm.
03:16
In fact, temperatures on Sunday likely to be even higher than on Saturday.
03:19
We'll have more details about what we can expect in our Weather Studio Live,
03:23
which if you missed it earlier on today, you can catch up with it on our YouTube channel.
03:27
See you later.
