A change in the weather means cloudier skies for most this weekend. There will be showers around too and these could be heavy, but the downpours will be hit and miss and some places will dodge them and still get some sun. Alex Deakin has the details.

00:00Hello.
00:01Welcome to your weekend forecast
00:02from the Met Office.
00:03It's been a sunny week so far,
00:06but the weather patterns are all
00:07change. Now, this weekend will
00:09still bring some sunshine,
00:11but overall, it's much cloudier
00:12than it has been.
00:13And most places are going to see
00:15some showers, too.
00:16And in some spots, those showers
00:17could be on the heavy side.
00:19Why the change?
00:20Well, we've replaced high pressure
00:21with low pressure, and it's
00:23kind of coming up from the
00:24southeast, which means our winds
00:26are coming in from the east.
00:27And the North Sea is not warm
00:29at this time of year.
00:30So a cooler feel, which will
00:32really start through Friday,
00:34will continue into the weekend.
00:35And so particularly these eastern
00:36coasts may well stay fairly
00:38misty and murky.
00:39Outbreaks of rain covering
00:41northern England on and off, of
00:42course, Scotland through Saturday
00:44and maybe moving into Northern
00:45Ireland. Further south, maybe a
00:46dry start to the weekend.
00:48But here we could see some
00:50sunshine developing and that will
00:51also then spark some showers.
00:53So it's sunshine and showers
00:55across the south.
00:55Not everywhere will catch one.
00:57You may just stay dry and bright.
00:59And in the sunshine, although not
01:00as warm as it has been,
01:02temperatures could still get into
01:03the high teens, maybe even low
01:0520s in one or two spots.
01:06And the winds won't be as strong
01:07across the south coast.
01:08So it may actually feel a little
01:10warmer here.
01:11But there will be heavy showers
01:12around. The east coast will be
01:13particularly chilly with that
01:15breeze coming in from the North
01:17Sea.
01:18On Sunday, the area of low pressure
01:20is a little closer.
01:21The isobars are spreading out,
01:22though, so the breeze will
01:23probably be a little less.
01:25Now, that means that the showers
01:26may become quite slow moving
01:28across the country on Sunday.
01:30They'll still be hit and miss.
01:31And probably across the south,
01:32it'll be a dry and a bright start
01:34with some sunshine.
01:35Again, a lot of cloud further north
01:37with showers, outbreaks
01:39of rain across the northeast of
01:40Scotland. And then we'll see the
01:41showers developing elsewhere
01:43again.
01:44As I said, hit and miss and not
01:45everywhere seeing those showers and
01:47will again be some places that
01:49avoid them and hang on to the
01:51bright and sunny weather.
01:52It won't be as warm as recent days,
01:54but temperatures still getting up
01:56when the sun's out into the high
01:57teens, maybe the low 20s.
01:59Again, parts of that east coast
02:01where it stays misty and murky
02:02will struggle to get much of a 12
02:04or 13 degrees Celsius.
02:06So a bit of a mixed picture through
02:07the course of the weekend.
02:08Certainly much more cloud, more
02:09showers around than there have been.
02:11But there'll still be some warm
02:13sunshine to be had as well.
