00:00Hello again. Plenty of showers to come as we go through Wednesday evening and overnight,

00:05and then more showers through the rest of the week as well. That's because low pressure

00:10is firmly in control. It is bringing some strong blustery winds at times, but also a

00:14showery theme across the bulk of the UK. However, into the weekend, a brief ridge of high pressure

00:20is going to build, and that means, yes, Saturday may get off to a bit of a cold, frosty start

00:24for some of us, but there will be some fine weather around this weekend before this system

00:29then approaches, bringing a spell of wet and windy weather later this weekend. More

00:34on that later. For the time being, we do have plenty of showers feeding their way in from

00:38western parts as we go through this evening and overnight. There'll be some clear skies

00:43in between the showers, but particularly across eastern, northeastern parts of Scotland, this

00:48is where we're likely to stay driest with the clearest skies, and as a result, it's

00:52going to turn quite chilly here. A touch of frost is quite likely as temperatures dip

00:56to around or a bit below freezing in prone rural spots, but even elsewhere, it's a relatively

01:01chilly night to come, even towns and cities likely to fall into mid-single figures. As

01:06we go through Thursday then, a chilly start for quite a few of us, and it's going to be

01:10a showery day. The showers will be heaviest and most frequent towards western parts, with

01:15a chance of some hail and some thunder, also some heavy showers fringing around southern

01:20eastern coastal parts. Eastern areas of England and perhaps central northern parts of Scotland

01:25likely to stay driest with some decent sunshine, but still quite chilly. In parts of Scotland,

01:31many places likely to stay in single figures, a little bit milder than this further south,

01:36highs of around 11 or 12 celsius. More showers to come as we go through the end of the day

01:41on Thursday, they could be heavy at times, perhaps even some more thunder, and merging

01:46into some longer spells of rain for a time as well. Again, there will be some clear skies

01:51in between the showers, these clear skies most likely across central western parts of

01:54Scotland and into Northern Ireland as well, and here again we could see a touch of frost

01:59in some places, elsewhere temperatures looking similar to this coming night. So then Friday

02:04gets off to a bit of a damp start across southern areas, likely to see some outbreaks of showery

02:09rain here for a time, but that will clear away, and then we have a bit of a northerly

02:12wind, and it's in areas exposed to this northerly wind that we're going to see the showers most

02:17frequently on Friday. So, northern Scotland, parts of Northern Ireland, and then both western

02:22and eastern fringes are likely to see a few showers at times. More inland areas could

02:28stay mostly dry with some decent sunshine, but temperatures similar to Thursday really,

02:33highs of around 8 or 9 celsius in the north, and just about getting into double figures

02:37further south. As we go into the weekend, and as I said, we're likely to see some calmer

02:42weather for a time, so Saturday could get off to a bit of a frosty start for some of

02:46us, and then it should be mostly dry until some wet and windy weather arrives later on.

02:53We have more information on that in our 10 day trend, which will be available on our

02:56YouTube channel, so don't forget to check it out there. Bye bye.
