00:00Hello, very good day to you. Bit of a north-south split in our weather through today.

00:04Northern parts having a lot of fine sunny weather.

00:07Meanwhile in the south we've seen some wet weather pushing its way in

00:10and that's in association with a frontal system that's making its way southwards

00:14and there will be further showery bursts to come as we go through the rest of today.

00:19So if we look through the details then yes, some fairly hefty showers across the southern parts.

00:24There's going to be a convergence line and it's on this convergence line

00:27where there's the risk of some thunder, even a bit of lightning and hail mixed in

00:31and it's not out of the question that we could see a funnel cloud,

00:34maybe even a brief tornado across parts of the southeast.

00:38Most places though just seeing a scattering of showers across the south

00:41and otherwise across many central northern parts a good deal of fine sunny weather

00:45and for most in the sunshine it's going to feel pretty warm.

00:48Temperatures peaking in the low to mid-20s for some of us

00:51but towards those eastern, those north sea coastal parts it's going to feel markedly fresher

00:55because of the brisk wind that's coming down from the north.

00:59Then as we go through this evening still some fairly frequent showers across southern parts,

01:03still some heavier ones, could even be thundery at times too, watch out for those.

01:07Then we have a cold front that's actually pushing its way southwards,

01:10that's going to bring a swathe of cloud and perhaps even a few outbreaks of rain

01:14initially across eastern Scotland but then down the eastern side of England

01:17as we go through the early hours of tomorrow.

01:20Elsewhere away from this zone of cloud and a bit of rain there will be a lot of clear skies

01:25and so it is going to be another fresh night for some.

01:28Couldn't rule out a touch of frost across some parts of Scotland, perhaps the sheltered glens.

01:33Most places though, particularly your towns and cities, holding up several degrees above freezing.

01:37There may be the odd pocket of mist and fog around first thing on Thursday morning

01:41but for most it's going to be a bright sunny start away from this slice of cloud

01:45across parts of, well, central eastern England into East Anglia as well.

01:49So a bit of rain perhaps for a time in association with that.

01:53Otherwise, it's looking largely dry through tomorrow.

01:56A few showers across parts of the southwest maybe

01:59but these won't be as intense as the showery bursts that we'll have seen through today

02:03and apart from this slice of cloud pushing its way a bit further southwards

02:07there will again be a good amount of sunshine on offer.

02:10But because this is actually a cold front, although it's not bringing a huge amount of rain,

02:14it is bringing colder air across us and so for most temperatures will be a few degrees down on Thursday

02:20compared to today and still with that brisk wind towards those North Sea coasts

02:25feeling pretty fresh actually here despite the fact that there will be a decent amount of sunshine.

02:30Now as we head towards the end of the week and the long bank holiday weekend

02:34after a mostly fine day on Friday, we do have a weather system coming through on Saturday

02:39and another one on Sunday so we can expect some wet and windy weather at times.

02:43a real change from what we've become used to so far this spring.

02:48For more information about what we can expect, make sure you check out our 10-day trend with Honour

02:51which will be available on our YouTube channel later on today.

02:55Bye-bye.
