00:00Good evening, it's going to be a much drier and brighter day for many of us on Friday

00:04but there is still some heavy rain to come through the rest of the evening. That's as

00:08we've got a weather front pushing eastwards across the country. It's sort of lingering

00:13across southern areas of Wales, the south-west and pushing into the midlands through the

00:17rest of the evening. We've also got this wrap-around feature that will be pushing some further

00:21rain back into the far north of Scotland. However, the most persistent rain will push

00:25into the midlands through the rest of the evening and we could see some water on the

00:29roads there. There is a warning for the next few hours. By tomorrow morning though it will

00:33be much drier as that front will clear into the North Sea. It could leave a bit of cloud

00:38around first thing across the far south-east but by and large it's going to be quite a

00:43clear and dry end to the night. Clearer than recent nights so it will be a little bit cooler

00:48but it's still going to be very mild for the time of year and actually it'll be a milder

00:52night than recently across Scotland. So, a mild start to the day, some sunshine to be

00:56had as well first thing. I think mostly across eastern areas of Scotland, central areas of

01:01England as well as the south-west seeing the best of the sunshine first thing. But as the

01:06afternoon progresses most areas will see some sunshine at least. It won't be entirely dry,

01:11there is a risk of showers particularly across the high ground parts of north-west England

01:15in particular seeing the greatest risk of some drizzly showers through the day. But

01:21in any of the sunshine it's going to feel very pleasant once again. We've got to 18

01:24degrees today and it will probably be a similarly mild day, not quite as warm but still highs

01:30of around 15 or 16 degrees in the south, closer to 13 or 14 further north. We do have a fresh

01:37northerly wind as well so it will be feeling a little bit cooler across the far northern

01:41isles. Three Friday evening is going to be a dry end to the day for most areas however

01:46notice the cloud will start to thicken across the west. That will probably bring some drizzly

01:50rain to the high ground of Wales as well as Devon and Cornwall, particularly across

01:55the coast. So a bit of a drizzly end to the day here but across the east it should stay

01:59dry through much of the night, plenty of clear spells as well. The air will be slightly fresher

02:04by Saturday morning so it will be a slightly cooler start but still frost free though coming

02:10quite close to freezing across some sheltered glens of the far north of Scotland. The cloud

02:15will continue to thicken from the west through Saturday so we do have some heavy rain to

02:19come Saturday evening but if you'd like more details on a full weekend forecast make sure
