00:00Hello, welcome to your national weather update.

00:05and then you'll never miss a forecast.
00:07This weekend promises a lot of fine weather across the UK,
00:10but we are still looking at some wet weather
00:12through Friday night and Saturday morning
00:14across the far southeast, where the Met Office have
00:17a yellow warning in place.
00:18We're concerned the buildup of rain
00:20here with some heavy bursts could
00:22cause a bit of disruption.
00:23Elsewhere, one or two scattered showers, but for most places,
00:26it's a dry night and a clear night and a bit of a chilly one
00:29as well, with temperatures starting the weekend down
00:31four or five degrees even in towns and cities,
00:33rural parts across northern England, Scotland,
00:36and Northern Ireland may not be too far from freezing.
00:38So a fresh start for sure, but for many,
00:42it'll be a blue sky start to the weekend.
00:44One or two showers drifting into eastern England, still
00:46the potential for some heavy rain
00:48across the far southeast of England
00:50should be fading out through the day.
00:52Brisk wind here and a lot of cloud
00:54will make it feel quite cool.
00:55Could you see a few more showers developing
00:57across parts of the Midlands and Wales,
00:59but I suspect they'll be pretty well scattered
01:01and most places won't see the showers staying largely dry.
01:05And certainly for most of Scotland and Northern Ireland,
01:07a fine Saturday with spells of sunshine.
01:09And although it starts pretty chilly by the afternoon,
01:12we're up to 15, 16, maybe 17 degrees Celsius.
01:15So feeling pleasant enough in that September sunshine.
01:19Quite quickly, though, on Saturday evening,
01:21if you're heading out, temperatures
01:22will start to drop.
01:23Any showers should fade away fairly quickly.
01:26So generally, it's a dry night with clear spells,
01:28which means, again, it will turn fairly cold
01:32come Sunday morning.
01:33Temperatures, again, widely down into single figures.
01:36But again, most places will have a sunny start to Sunday.
01:40We're looking at one or two showers,
01:42perhaps still grazing parts of East Anglia,
01:44maybe still across parts of Kent, perhaps West Wales,
01:48and Cornwall as well.
01:49But for most places, Sunday's dry and bright
01:51until the cloud thickens through the morning in Western Scotland
01:54with a bit of patchy rain here, followed
01:57by a band of heavier rain and strengthening winds
02:00coming into the Highlands and the Western Isles
02:02and the Northern Isles come Sunday afternoon.
02:05Away from that, though, yes, the sunshine
02:06may turn hazy in the West.
02:08But generally, it's another dry and bright day on Sunday.
02:11And after another chilly start, we're up to 15, 16,
02:1417 degrees Celsius.
02:16Feeling pleasant enough, again, in the September sunshine.
02:19But it is going to turn cooler as that wind whips up
02:22in the Northwest and the rain arrives.
02:24That is, as you might imagine, a weather front.
02:27And it will bring a spell of rain
02:28swinging across the country on Sunday night.
02:31And notice the isobar squeezing together.
02:34So it's going to get windy, could get very windy
02:36in the far north, gusty conditions.
02:38And that weather front also switching the winds around,
02:42bringing down northerly winds and bringing down colder air
02:46as we head into Monday.
02:47So turning colder for Monday with a brisk wind
02:50and a fairly significant wind chill.
02:53So a big change for Monday.
02:54Keep up to date with developments
02:56as we go through the weekend by following the Met Office
03:00across social media.
