00:00Good morning, it's going to be a windy but a quite a warm weekend in fact.

00:05That's a storm Kathleen is approaching from the southwest to bring some

00:09unseasonably strong winds. The strongest winds will be affecting parts of Western

00:13Ireland but we'll also see some very strong winds for Western areas of the UK.

00:16It's dragging up this exceptionally mild air from the near continent as well.

00:20There's a very mild start out there, temperatures already about 14 degrees

00:24across the south and it should stay largely dry across eastern areas for the

00:28rest of the day but the winds are going to start to pick up and there is a wind

00:31warning in force for Northern Ireland, Western areas of England, Wales and

00:34southwestern Scotland. Here we could see gusts up to 70 miles per hour, that's

00:39enough to bring a travel disruption so make sure you check before you travel

00:43later on today if you are moving around in those areas. Across the east though

00:47where we do see the best of the sunshine it's going to be a very warm day.

00:51We can see highs of 22 degrees which would be the warmest day since October

00:56if it is reached but it's also going to be very warm particularly across the

00:58Moray Coast for example and just eastern sheltered coasts in general so quite a

01:03mixed picture from east to west with the warmest and driest and brightest weather

01:07in the east through the rest of this weekend. Western areas will see some

01:10showery rain through this evening that's going to push eastwards through the night

01:13and to bring outbreaks of heavy rain for some areas but by the morning most areas

01:18will once again be fairly dry. You can see Storm Kathleen here, the winds

01:22swirling around it by Sunday morning it's sat up to the northwest of the UK

01:27and the strongest winds will likely be affecting western areas of Scotland by

01:31Sunday so the winds will get that much lighter further south but we're into

01:34slightly fresher air so temperatures will be a little lower than that we will

01:38have seen on Saturday morning or this morning. However through the rest of the

01:42day we will continue to see plenty of sunshine for central and eastern areas

01:46of England in particular. Further west and north though you're much more likely

01:49to get caught out in a shower on Sunday. There'll also be quite a lot more cloud

01:53around as well between the showers and as I said the temperatures will be a

01:57little bit lower as the air is that much fresher but these temperatures are still

02:01higher than average for this time of year so it's not too bad at all. However

02:05across the far north the winds will remain a very strong through the day and

02:08there could be continued risk of coastal impacts in these areas. Now low pressure

02:13and unsettled weather will continue to affect northern areas into the start of

02:17next week however there are signs that more settled weather could develop in

02:21the south. Make sure you stay tuned with all the details on Storm Kathleen
