00:00Hello there and a very good morning to you on this Thursday morning. Fine in the
00:04south, wet in the north, in between we're seeing more in the way of cloud. Let's
00:07pick up on some detail. Well it's a weak weather front which is straddling
00:10Scotland and Northern Ireland today. Notice further south it's dry but this
00:14more active system comes in through tonight and into tomorrow extending down
00:18towards the southeast and this will really bring with it some cooler air
00:22through Friday. Winds will be a feature of the weather over the next 24 hours as
00:26well. So through this morning watch out for the rain across the central belt
00:29extending down towards more southern counties to Scotland. Fine weather
00:32across Caithness as well as Orkney. Showers just coming in there across the
00:37west and that rain edging in across Northern Ireland through the first part
00:40of today. Now further south we're seeing some clearer skies, a chilly start
00:44particularly across southern counties of England and Wales and watch out for one
00:47or two mist and fog patches. For Northern England lots of cloud here and even some
00:51drizzly bits and pieces so poor visibility over the higher ground. This
00:54rain never pushes very far south, it's going to remain across central parts of
00:59Scotland and the totals could pep up a little bit through the afternoon
01:02particularly across the western upslopes. But notice towards the west there this
01:07is another weather front which will move in. It's got more momentum, more forcing
01:11on it, the winds are slightly stronger as well and eventually this whole system
01:14here will clear down towards the southeast. Before that though enjoy the
01:18sunshine across England and Wales. Certainly we'll see some fine weather
01:22here although for the likes of Cumbria, Northumberland, southern counties of
01:26Scotland you'll see less in the way of rain but more in the way of clouds as we
01:30head through lunchtime and into the afternoon. By afternoon the rain will
01:34have reached southern and eastern areas of Northern Ireland and we could see
01:38some heavier pulses associated with this rain band as we head through into
01:42afternoon and evening time. Behind it yeah more persistent rain arrives across
01:47western Scotland and Northern Ireland and quite a breeze here. Now towards the
01:51south in shelter places such as Lincolnshire, eastern parts of Yorkshire
01:55down towards the southeast we're likely to see 17 degrees Celsius. For mid Wales
01:5915 or 16. Not too bad across the eastern side of Scotland where we'll see patchy
02:05rain 14 degrees Celsius. Similar situation for Northern Ireland. But
02:09towards the west the air is colder and certainly you'll notice the difference
02:13through the next 24 hours. Yes those blues which we saw earlier will extend
02:17down towards more southern areas so it is turning colder for many areas.
02:22Temperatures around average if not slightly below as we head through Friday
02:26and into Saturday. So here's this rain through this evening. It is sliding down
02:30towards northern England as well as Wales by around mid evening and then
02:34eventually reaching the Midlands later on into the early hours of Friday
02:38morning. Showers will move in behind on a cold and gusty wind with the risk of
02:43thunder, hail and even some wintriness over the higher ground. And by Friday
02:48morning the rain is lingering across eastern counties. In its wake we'll see
02:52scattered showers, blustery showers towards the northwest and temperatures
02:56look at this. 12, 13 degrees Celsius at the very best. Single figures across the
03:01western side of Scotland. Saturday dawns cool and bright with some sunshine a
03:06few showers towards the far north as well as the west before this rain
03:09arrives across western Scotland extending down towards Northern Ireland
03:12mostly patchy and by the afternoon you can see some filaments of rain just
03:16moving towards most of Scotland and towards the far north of England as well
03:21as West Wales. Towards the southeast we'll see some fine weather and
03:25certainly Sunday's looking like a fine day. A legacy of clouds and brighter
03:28skies coming through and temperatures on the up slightly 14 to 16 Celsius. I'll
03:32see you later.
