00:00Hello there and a very good morning to you on this Thursday morning. The weather

00:04remains settled for most places through the next 48 hours and the reason why high

00:09pressure really dominating things. However through Thursday into Friday

00:14it's drifting towards the east as low pressure moves in from the west. It's a

00:19slow process and certainly through Friday we'll see cloud around just

00:22skirting the western side of the UK but this high will decline and eventually

00:27through the weekend we'll see more clouds, some stronger winds and the

00:31chance of rain or showers. Let's pick up on the detail though through this

00:35morning. It's a chilly start even with a touch of frost and also one or two mist

00:39and fog patches across Scotland. Northern Ireland again could see a grass

00:42frost first thing. Further south it's a bright start to the day, a bit cool

00:47outside. One or two showers coming in from the northeast on that keen breeze

00:52but a better feel to things relative to the last few days and not a lot of

00:56change as we head through today. So the sunshine could turn rather hazy as the

01:00mist and fog clears through the first part of this morning. A similar situation

01:05for Northern Ireland where there could be a bit more of a breeze, breeze coming

01:08in from the south so feeling quite pleasant as we head through the afternoon

01:12in some sunshine, a mix of cloud and sun right the way through to the end of the

01:17day. Temperatures then 15 to 17 degrees Celsius and we've lost the sting of the

01:21wind towards the southeast. Now through Thursday evening and overnight a few

01:26things happen. First of all temperatures will take a tumble, it's going to be a

01:29chilly night yet again. Away from the west where the cloud will thicken we'll

01:32see outbreaks of rain. So a bit of a damp start to the day across Northern Ireland

01:36and western Scotland with some showery bursts. Elsewhere on Friday it's a fine

01:40day, some mist and fog first thing but a lovely afternoon to come, dry across

01:44eastern and southern parts of Scotland as well. Temperatures 16 or 17 degrees

01:48Celsius. That's the high clearing towards Denmark, here's that low pressure coming

01:52in. It's fairly slow but it will mean the winds will pick up and there will be

01:56various fronts bringing with them cloud as well as showery bursts of rain

02:00through Saturday and into Sunday. But as I said it is a bit of a slow process so

02:05through Saturday this is your outlook. Yes there'll be some brighter skies

02:09around, always more cloud towards the west as well as the northwest and always

02:13the chance of some showery bursts from time to time and your outlook through

02:17Sunday. A slow-moving weather front bringing clouds, some rain but also some

02:22showers. The cloud could break at times, temperatures slightly higher as well.

02:25I'll see you later.
