00:00We start this weekend with a northerly and we're going to end it with a
00:04strengthening southerly. So plenty to talk about. Certainly going to be a
00:08chilly start with the northerly winds on Saturday morning. That breeze bringing
00:13showers down the eastern side of England through Friday night. A few just feeding
00:17down through the gap into parts of Wales and southwest England and thickening
00:21cloud will bring some more rain to northwest Scotland by dawn. But for many
00:24it'll be a dry night, lengthy clear spells, those winds easing down which
00:28will allow the temperatures to drop down. With the cold air in place we're
00:33going to dip down to three or four degrees in towns and cities and in rural
00:37spots we could well see some pockets of frost. So yes a chilly start to Saturday.
00:42We are still in September after all but by and large a fine and sunny start for
00:46much of southeast Scotland, most of England and Wales. Still maybe the odd
00:50shower across West Wales and North Norfolk. Quite a lot of cloud for
00:54Scotland. Some showery rain on and off through the day on the west coast but I
00:57suspect the eastern side may well see some brighter spells developing. Some
01:02brightness and also a few showers likely across Northern Ireland. Crucially though
01:07on Saturday the winds will be a lot lighter than they have been through the
01:10day on Friday and even though temperatures will still be below average
01:14at 13 or 14 Celsius it'll feel warmer than it did on Friday. I mentioned those
01:20temperatures are below average by anything between about three and six
01:23degrees Celsius. So yes a chilly day but a bit of sunshine and with light winds
01:29it shouldn't feel too bad. Quite quickly those temperatures will dip away again
01:32through the course of Saturday evening staying quite cloudy with some
01:36outbreaks of rain across the far north of Scotland and we'll see a few showers
01:40maybe over the Lake District but for many it'll be a dry evening staying dry
01:44and largely clear overnight. Although notice the breeze just starting to
01:48strengthen as a bit more cloud pulls into the southwest later on. Perhaps not
01:53quite as cold for many as we head into Sunday morning compared to Saturday
01:57morning but things are about to change as that rain coming to the southwest
02:03from this fairly active weather system that's developing at the moment and then
02:07heading towards the UK pushing away the area of high pressure that will bring
02:11most a fine Saturday. Still mostly dry on Sunday morning a few scattered showers
02:16over southwest Scotland and northern Scotland but here comes the rain into
02:19Devon Cornwall South Wales by mid-morning fairly sporadic at first but
02:25turning heavier and more persistent by the end of the day over Wales the whole
02:28of southwest England and up towards Northern Ireland by the afternoon. We do
02:32have a yellow warning in place this is for the winds particularly lively gusts
02:36around the coast of southwest England south and west Wales gusts of 50 to 55
02:41miles an hour maybe 60 miles an hour in some exposed areas that could cause some
02:45issues. Elsewhere many places will be dry for most of the day but it will
02:49steadily cloud over a brighter day for Scotland with the southerly winds maybe
02:54the Murray Firth could see the highest temperatures at 15 degrees Celsius 15 or
02:5816 late in the day in the southwest but it won't feel very pleasant here with
03:01the wind and the rain and most places again temperatures similar to Saturday's
03:06values. Now of course any extra rain falling because we've had such heavy
03:10rain recently is potentially going to cause more problems so we do have to
03:14watch this weather system as it moves in during Sunday evening that rain will get
03:18into the Midlands and eventually into eastern and northern parts of England as
03:22well as becoming heavier across Northern Ireland and a pretty wet night
03:26Sunday night into Monday across the southwest with that wind warning still
03:30in place here also. So plenty to keep an eye on through the course of this
