The weekend brings some rain across the UK but we may not get much across the eastern side, where it has been very dry. Further north expect a damp start to Saturday but it’ll get drier and brighter through the day. Alex Deakin has the details.

00:00Welcome along to your weekend weather updates.
00:03There'll be some rain around, but again,
00:05across much of eastern England, most of the weekends
00:07will be dry.
00:08And here, we'll have some warm sunshine around as well.
00:11But some rain coming in on these weather fronts
00:13across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
00:15The ice bar is just squidging together a little as well,
00:18so it will turn pretty gusty at times
00:20across the far northwest.
00:21Rain moving in on Friday night, a soggy start
00:24across much of Western Scotland, Northern Ireland to the weekend.
00:28The rain will trickle into parts of northwest England,
00:31a little bit of showery rain crossing through Wales.
00:34But a good part of the day, I suspect,
00:36across the Midlands and eastern England
00:38will stay dry with sunny spells.
00:40And Scotland and Northern Ireland
00:42should actually turn drier through the morning
00:44and brighten up through the afternoon, just one or two
00:46scattered showers in the northwest.
00:48The thicker cloud will persist over maybe the Lake District,
00:52and we'll see some of that wetter weather
00:54just trickling into West Wales late in the day.
00:56Around Western coasts, it'll always be fairly breezy,
00:58and temperatures will struggle under the thicker cloud
01:01and where there's rain.
01:02But generally, temperatures are going
01:04to be above average on Saturday, and the sunny spells
01:06across eastern England, 25, maybe 26.
01:09And we could get into the low 20s across eastern Scotland
01:12if we see some sunshine through the afternoon.
01:14Cooler in the northwest, where it will be fairly gusty.
01:17But that low is scooting away during Saturday night
01:20and into Sunday.
01:21Big question mark on Sunday about where
01:23this wiggling, waving weather front sits.
01:26At the moment, it's most likely to be
01:28light across parts of Wales and the Midlands.
01:31But it could be a little further north.
01:33It could be a little further south.
01:34If you're desperate for rain across parts
01:36of southern England, well, don't hold out too much hope,
01:39because this will be fizzling out as it moves its way in.
01:42But it will bring some rain, it looks like,
01:43to Wales, parts of southwest England.
01:45Further north, certainly across Western Scotland,
01:47Northern Ireland, a mostly dry and bright day.
01:49But some showers will come in across parts of eastern
01:52Scotland and northeast England, with a cool breeze coming
01:55in here, temperatures only in the mid to high teens.
01:58So quite a difference compared to Saturday.
02:00Again, it'll be the southeast where
02:02we see the highest temperatures.
02:03A lot will depend on how much sunshine we see.
02:06But with a bit of blue sky, we could easily
02:08get into the mid to high 20s.
02:10But generally, more typically, low 20s once more on Sunday.
02:15Some uncertainty, then, about the details for Sunday.
02:17So stay up to date with the latest forecast.
02:19Best way to do that, of course, follow
