00:00Morning. Did you get woken up by the wet and windy weather last night?
00:03Well, there is plenty more to come over the next few days.
00:07Low pressure systems are dominating.
00:09This one at the moment is heading its way up towards Iceland.
00:12These weather fronts have been draped across the country through the nights,
00:15and the rain is now clearing away out into the North Sea.
00:18A soggy start for East Anglia in the southeast,
00:21but that rain will be scooting away fairly smartly.
00:24A few showers following on behind,
00:26but many places having a dry morning.
00:29In the west, though, more heavy showers will pack into Northern Ireland.
00:32And by lunchtime, they'll be into western Scotland,
00:34northwest England and much of Wales.
00:36So turning quite wet and also turning increasingly blustery.
00:41A gusty afternoon to come, particularly in western areas.
00:45But it is also going to be a lot milder than it has been,
00:48particularly in the south.
00:49Temperatures getting up into the teens in some locations,
00:51but obviously feeling cooler when you add on that wind.
00:55Although much of East Anglia in the southeast will have a dry afternoon,
00:58the rain will work in here as we go through the latter stage of the afternoon
01:02into the evening and then the bands of rain continue to sweep across the country.
01:06We have a yellow warning in place for the gusty winds,
01:09southwest Scotland, Northern Ireland and gusty winds for north Wales,
01:12parts of northern England, even into the Midlands and East Anglia.
01:15Gusts of 40, 50 miles an hour, perhaps around some coast,
01:1860 to even 70 miles an hour could cause a little disruption.
01:21So a blustery, gusty old night.
01:24The wind is starting to ease further south as we head through the early hours.
01:28That will allow the temperatures to dip down to single digits,
01:31but certainly most urban areas start at about five or six above freezing on Friday.
01:36For many of us, again, it will be a fine start to the day as well.
01:40Some good spars of sunshine around.
01:41A few showers drifting into northwest England, southwest Scotland,
01:45keep some going over northern Scotland,
01:46but then more wet weather sweeps into northern Ireland by tomorrow lunchtime.
01:51That cloud then increasing out west with further outbreaks of rain
01:54chugging into Wales, southwest England and western parts of Scotland
01:58by the end of the afternoon.
02:00Much of eastern England, eastern Scotland staying dry,
02:02but the sunshine turning increasingly hazy will again be reasonably mild,
02:07but temperatures generally lower than they have been through the day today.
02:12So a cooler feel certainly across the south, nine or ten,
02:15the top temperature further north, six or seven at best.
02:18Now, you can see this large area of rain that is an intensifying area of low pressure
02:23that is going to bring a wet and windy spell across the country
02:26during Friday night and Saturday.
02:28Still a bit of uncertainty about the exact track of this low,
02:31but it has the potential to cause some issues.
02:34Notice the ice bars close together.
02:36That means it's going to be windy, but that low will also be bringing more rain
02:39after what has been a pretty wet couple of days.
02:42If we zoom backwards, we can track this low pressure.
02:45It doesn't look much at time of recording,
02:47but its interaction with the jet stream is crucial
02:50and how quickly it transitions to the cold side of the jet
02:54and how quickly it intensifies and exactly where the jet steers it.
02:58It could be a little further south than this, could be a little further north,
03:02but we'll firm upon the details over the next day or so.
03:05But for Friday night and into Saturday, something to keep a very close eye on,
03:08wind and rain likely to cause some further disruption.
03:12So do keep up to date with the forecast.
03:15Check out the warnings.
