00:00Hello, we've got a fairly cloudy picture as we go through the rest of today. Rain at times

00:05though, and it will be pretty windy out there for many as well. Let's take a look at the

00:09reason why. We've got this area of low pressure that's bringing some tightly packed isobars

00:14through today. It moves away as we're going towards the weekend though, allowing this

00:17ridge of high pressure to come with fronts affecting the far northwest of Scotland. But

00:22for many, that means a fairly dry and settled weekend. Let's take a look at the picture

00:26through the rest of today then. Quite heavy rain at times across northern and western

00:30areas, but that rain will steadily ease as we go through the rest of Friday. Not much

00:34of it across the south, a few dribs and drabs here and there. Rather cloudy skies for most

00:39of us though, means quite a grey and gloomy day. One or two breaks in that cloud and quite

00:44brisk winds as well, so quite gusty at some of our coastal areas in the west and the south.

00:49For many though, temperatures on the mild side for the time of year, 12 to 15 degrees,

00:54a bit more typical of where we should be much earlier in the autumn than towards the end.

00:59As we go through this evening and overnight, that rain will turn heavier for a time across

01:02Cumbria, perhaps Yorkshire, before tending to ease away. As that ridge of high pressure

01:06builds in then, for many, things turn quieter with those winds easing down. Clearer skies

01:10across Scotland and Northern Ireland means a chillier night to come here, temperatures

01:14getting down into mid-single figures in some places. Elsewhere, staying on the mild side,

01:18still enough of a breeze and a few bits and pieces of rain continuing to affect some of

01:22those North Sea coastal areas. And that means for a fairly grey start to Saturday across

01:27England and Wales. Brighter though for Scotland and Northern Ireland. And I think for many

01:31of us, we will start to see a little bit of brightness coming and going through the day,

01:35but always hanging on to more cloud across those eastern and southern areas. Continuing

01:39to see some strong winds and drips and drabs of rain across much of East Anglia. The best

01:44of the sunshine will be further west across Scotland and indeed parts of Northern Ireland.

01:48But later, we do start to see this frontal system here bringing some rain to the west

01:52of Northern Ireland. Temperatures just a shade down compared with Friday, 11 to 14

01:58degrees Celsius. As we go through Saturday evening then, we continue to see that frontal

02:03system pushing a little bit further eastwards. But for many, with the clear skies down the

02:07spine of the country and lighter winds, it means we will see some mist and fog patches

02:11developing as we go through the night. So, a quick snapshot then as we look into Remembrance

02:17Sunday. It will be a grey start for many of us. That frontal system not making much progress

02:23in towards western areas. But for many, it will be a cloudy picture. One or two breaks

02:27in that cloud will develop through the course of the day and I think a few of us will see

02:31a few drips and drabs of rain as well. But on the whole, a fairly quiet picture with

02:35much lighter winds. Notice some heavier rain though does start to push in to western Scotland

02:40by the time we get to the middle part of the day. Temperature wise, still on the mild side

02:46generally speaking, but I think under all that cloud, it will probably feel a little

02:50bit cooler as we go through Remembrance Sunday with highs of 11 to 13 degrees. So, autumn

02:57is very much coming towards the end now. A lot of grey skies out there for the next few

03:01days. Some mist and fog patches in the morning. Of course, you can stay up to date with all

03:05the latest across our social media channels and I'll see you later. Take care.
