00:00Hello and welcome to a national morning weather update from the Met Office. It's

00:04going to be a largely dry day today but turning unsettled as we go through the

00:08weekend. So high pressure is going to be moving its way northwards, low pressure

00:12dominating through Saturday and Sunday. Still got a bit of a squeeze in the ice

00:16above as well so some windy conditions out there. But back to this morning we

00:20have got some showers across Northern Ireland, Northeastern England and also

00:25parts of Scotland where they could turn wintry mostly over the highest ground

00:29say 400 to 500 meters. Elsewhere the cloud is gradually going to break

00:33through the day especially through the afternoon and that will allow some

00:37welcome spring sunshine. But we will still hold on quite a lot of cloud

00:42we're getting winds coming up from the southeast so cloud lingering across

00:46eastern coasts and here underneath the cloud and the strong winds it is going

00:51to be feeling quite chilly. Further towards the south though underneath the

00:55sunshine highs of around 11 or 12 degrees and also some welcome sunshine

00:59across Northwestern Scotland. Cloud will gradually build as we go through the

01:05evening as well staying largely dry for most of us. Clearer spells again holding

01:10on across Northwestern Scotland but we'll also see some outbreaks of rain

01:13pushing up from the south so turning increasingly cloudy here and that will

01:18lead to quite a damp start. But it's still going to be breezy out there so

01:22temperatures holding up underneath the cloud and rain in the south but where we

01:26do see some clear skies are further towards north of Scotland we will see a

01:30touch of frost as well. So some bright skies to start across Northwestern

01:36Scotland some outbreaks of patchy rain as well but elsewhere turning cloudy

01:41with outbreaks of rain pushing their way across into Northern Ireland and

01:45northern parts with perhaps some brightness developing for a time into

01:49the afternoon but really many places still holding on to a lot of cloud and

01:53we still have got a strong east and southeasterly wind as well so especially

01:58on the hills turning increasingly gusty but otherwise temperatures really are

02:02going to be around average for the time of year but just feeling a little bit

02:06chilly especially along that eastern coast. If you want more details though
