00:00Good morning, it's going to be another fairly cool day and there will be little in the way

00:04of sunshine around but it should stay dry for most of us. Now it's a fairly bright but

00:09quite cold start for many areas of the UK this morning. There will be quite a lot more

00:14cloud though bubbling up as we head towards lunchtime and a few showers will start to

00:17break out, particularly across coastal areas, across eastern areas. They will be fairly

00:22light but we could see a few snow flurries over the high ground in Scotland. Now across

00:27southern areas, cloud will start to thicken as we head into the afternoon and this band

00:30of showery rain will start to arrive from the south. Now this brings the risk of some

00:34quite heavy downpours into this evening across southern areas. With little in the way of

00:39sunshine and a fairly chilly start today, it's going to be another quite cool day. Temperatures

00:44are below average across the board, just highs of 10 or 11 degrees which should be closer

00:49to about 14 or 15 degrees for most areas by this time of the year. Throughout this evening

00:55the cloud should melt away and it will turn much clearer and drier through the night for

01:00many northern areas, so much of Northern Ireland, Northern England and Scotland will see another

01:04clear and dry night. Across the south though it will turn much cloudier as this band of

01:10showery rain continues to push northwards throughout this evening. It will bring quite

01:13a lot of cloud ahead of it for much of Wales and the Midlands and showery outbreaks of

01:17rain for many southern counties through the night. But it will turn a bit milder underneath

01:22this cloud and rain, so it's going to be a milder night across central and southern

01:25areas, but across the north another cold night. We could see another frost developing, lows

01:30as low as minus four or five degrees once again for parts of Scotland by Saturday morning.

01:36So a bright but colder start in the north, cloudier and wetter across southern areas.

01:42And it will stay fairly bright for northern areas through much of Saturday and I think

01:45most areas should stay dry, particularly across the north and west, but it will turn a bit

01:50cloudier throughout the day and still it's going to still feel fairly cool. But the winds

01:54are quite light, so if you are in the sheltered sunshine, it certainly won't feel too bad.

01:58In the Midlands though, this area of cloud will continue to persist through the day.

02:01Some showery outbreaks of rain. The rain's not going to be quite as persistent in these

02:05areas into the afternoon, but there will still be quite a lot of cloud around and it will

02:08feel fairly cool. Now in the south where we see some sunshine breaking out, we could see

02:13some heavier showers, but in that sunshine it's going to start to feel quite warm. Temperatures

02:18rising much closer to average. Highs of 14, possibly 15 degrees across the south by Saturday

02:23afternoon. Now through Saturday night we see a more persistent area of rain arrive from

02:29the south. That will affect eastern areas throughout Sunday. So some more persistent

02:33rain to come for these areas, but you can find plenty more details on your weekend forecast
