00:00Hi there. Increasingly heavy and persistent rain will affect parts of Wales and central

00:04England overnight. As a result, an amber warning in force, that rain coming on top of already

00:10saturated areas where we saw some flooding earlier in the week. Now, it's been raining

00:15hard across Northern Ireland and Northern England through the day because of this weather

00:18front. It's also been windy. That wind and rain starts to sink south overnight and under

00:23this area of low pressure, we're seeing some slow-moving heavy thundery downpours. All

00:28of this merges to give a longer spell of very wet weather through parts of Wales, central

00:33England into East Anglia. And you can see this line of intense rain that lasts for several

00:37hours. In some parts, four to six hours will give 40 to 60 millimetres of rain falling

00:44on top of areas that were flooded earlier in the week. We'll also see increasingly windy

00:49weather push into the south-west, 60, perhaps 70 mph wind gusts for Cornwall. And with the

00:54wind and the rain in the south, it's going to be a mild start to Friday, colder further

00:57north where we've got clear skies for Scotland, very little rainfall for here. But you can

01:03see there the rainfall that's mounting up over 24 hours up to Friday morning for Northern

01:07Ireland and Northern England, easing off overnight. But it's this swathe, a narrow area of intense

01:13rain and as a result, that combined with the impacts earlier in the week, amber warning

01:19for parts of central England. But by the start of the day, although there could be some residual

01:25impacts on the morning rush, it is drying up. There'll be some heavy showers for a time

01:28across the south coast, Hampshire, Sussex and Kent. That clears through. Then brighter

01:35skies start to arrive with a northerly wind and some showers, but also it's going to feel

01:42much colder, 13, 14 Celsius in the south, 10 or 11 further north. Showers could pop

01:47up anywhere, but they'll predominantly be affecting the north and north-west and they'll

01:51continue in these places overnight, especially around western and northern coasts. Elsewhere

01:56inland, clear skies developing and with that northerly wind, it's going to feel considerably

02:01colder. Such a frost in places by the start of Saturday, widely temperatures in the mid

02:07to low single figures away from coasts and away from the breezier spots. And the cloudier

02:11spots, it will turn increasingly cloudy across Scotland and Northern England as well as parts

02:16of West Wales, Northern Ireland. First thing Saturday, showery rain moving in here. Some

02:21more persistent wet weather for western Scotland through the day. Much brighter skies to the

02:25south and the east, mostly dry, just the odd shower, 13 or 14 Celsius though the high,

02:32so it's going to be a cold day for the time of year. Much more on YouTube, so make sure
