00:00Good morning. Alex Deakin here with your latest weather update from the Met Office.

00:04This weekend promises a mixed picture. For many, though, something a bit brighter,

00:08at least today, with a bit more sunshine than recent days.

00:11Not so necessarily across Scotland and Northern Ireland,

00:14certainly a damp start through the central belt and across parts of Northern Ireland.

00:18But it's brightening up here. In the far north, we've still got the cold air in place

00:21and the wet weather here, falling as snow over the hills,

00:24blown in by a gusty and cold easterly wind as well.

00:28The wind's picking up in the southwest. A few showers coming into Devon, Cornwall, Somerset

00:32and south and west Wales. But for a good part of east Wales,

00:37much of northern England, the Midlands and eastern England, it's a dry and a bright day.

00:41We should see some sunshine cheering up a little bit too across parts of Northern Ireland.

00:45We've got the mild air in place across the south. Temperatures here likely to get to double figures,

00:50since one or two spots could get to 12, maybe even 13.

00:53And even further north, the milder air is moving in.

00:55So even though these numbers are around or below average,

00:58it's generally a bit warmer than it was on Friday across central and southern Scotland.

01:02Still feeling cold, though, with that wind across the far north,

01:05which continues to bring some wet weather as we go through this evening,

01:09pivoting round and spreading up towards Shetland.

01:12More showers coming into the south for Wales, across the Midlands

01:15and maybe some developing tonight across the southeast of England also.

01:19It will turn a little colder with lighter winds and clearer skies.

01:23Parts of Scotland, northern England could see a touch of frost,

01:26but still pretty mild across the south, sixes and sevens below here.

01:30So we start Sunday, as I said, still pretty mixed, likely to be some fog around,

01:35particularly with the lighter winds over eastern England.

01:37And fog on Sunday morning could be fairly slow to clear.

01:40There will also be some showers over Wales, central and southern England,

01:45and then developing through the day over Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland.

01:49A much drier day over northeastern parts of Scotland compared to today

01:54and probably not too many showers getting into the east.

01:56But it may stay a bit drab here throughout.

01:58It may stay predominantly overcast, may also turn a bit brighter down towards the southwest later on.

02:05But overall, a cloudier day tomorrow and a touch cooler as a result.

02:09These temperatures pretty close to average, though, for the time of year.

02:13Plenty going on with the weather and in the outlook as well.
