00:00Good afternoon. A north-west-south-east split developing with our weather over the next
00:0524 hours or so. Looking at the pressure pattern, we can see a deep area of low pressure sat
00:10to the north-west, bringing outbreaks of heavy rain and strong winds to parts of Scotland
00:14in particular. A Met Office warning in force from this evening and through into Monday
00:19as well. Eventually, this weather front pushing heavy rain south-eastwards on Tuesday.
00:24For Sunday afternoon, outbreaks of rain across Norman Island for the rest of the day. Some
00:29wet roads could lead to some tricky travelling conditions. The rain spreading into western
00:32parts of Scotland too. Generally elsewhere, dry, but quite a lot of cloud around. There
00:38will be some bright or sunny spells at times. The best of the sunny spells across parts
00:42of Wales, the West Country and south-east England. Overall, temperatures are lower compared
00:47to recent days. Under the cloud and rain, 15-17C. Brisk winds here too, making it feel
00:53quite chilly. Gusts of around 30-40mph across some western coasts. In the brighter spells,
00:59low 20s, 23-24 towards the south-east. Lower compared to yesterday where we saw highs around
01:0626C here. Through into the evening time, that Met Office
01:10warning comes into force across western parts of Scotland. Outbreaks of heavy rain continuing
01:16until the early hours here. Generally across western areas, it's a cloudy night. Some outbreaks
01:21of patchy rain in places too. The rain could also be heavy at times across the far north
01:26and west of Northern Ireland. Clearer skies towards the south-east, but winds coming in
01:32from the south and we're drawing in some quite humid air. Temperatures dropping no lower
01:36than 13-16C for many of us. So, a bit more of an uncomfortable night for sleeping once
01:42more. First thing on Monday morning, outbreaks of
01:45heavy rain. There could be some local disruption across parts of Scotland and rain continues
01:50here for much of the day. Northern Ireland also seeing pulses of rain too. Elsewhere,
01:55bright start, but the cloud bubbling up as we go through the day. Then this weather front
01:59starts to affect western fringes of England and Wales by late afternoon. But the winds
02:05coming up from the south, as I mentioned, drawing in some warm and humid air. So, in
02:09the best of the sunshine, temperatures reaching around the mid-20s, perhaps 26 or 27 for one
02:14or two spots in the east, even under the cloud and the rain further north-west. Temperatures
02:19getting into the low 20s here. Through into the evening time on Monday, this
02:23weather front just starts to slip its way south-eastwards across northern parts of England,
02:28Wales, the West Country. Just notice still some bright echoes in there indicating some
02:32heavy bursts of rain as well. So, quite a bit going on with the weather,
02:37particularly across Scotland over the next 24 hours. If you'd like more information,
02:42you can get that on our YouTube channel, particularly the Scotland forecast. See you again soon.
