00:00Hello there, good evening. There wasn't quite as much spring sunshine around this afternoon
00:05but could we see more over the weekend? Well, let's take a look. Starting off though with
00:10this evening, a band of cloud and outbreaks of rain. It slowly moves its way northwards.
00:14So for a time bringing some rain across Northern Ireland, this eventually easing away and any
00:19rain becoming largely confined to northern parts of Scotland. Perhaps seeing the odd
00:23heavier burst here too. But for many it's going to be a dry night, a mix of cloud and
00:27clear spells. Feeling a little bit chilly under those clearest of skies. We actually
00:31find ourselves in a warm sector, so in between two frontal systems. So that means for most
00:36it's actually going to be quite a mild start to the weekend. Cloudy and murky though across
00:41Scotland to begin with. Any rain still moving its way northwards, moving into parts of Shetland
00:47by the time we reach mid-morning. And then some cloud spilling into parts of Devon and
00:51Cornwall, perhaps southern parts of Wales where we may see the odd shower. But for most
00:55on Saturday, there's going to be lots of dry weather around. Some blue skies in fact
00:59in particular. And when we see the sunshine, it is going to be feeling warm. Highs of 18,
01:04particularly across northern parts of England. Maybe even 19 or 20 degrees Celsius if we
01:09see that sunshine stick around for long enough. Through into the evening, well we don't see
01:15much change. We still have this area of rain lingering on for a time across Shetland before
01:19it eventually clears its way northwards. Once again, a dry night, a mix of cloud and some
01:24clearer spells. We could see some patchy fog where we see the clearest of skies and
01:29still some hazy higher cloud moving into parts of Devon and Cornwall. But once again, a mild
01:35start to Sunday. Now that rain still clings on across northern parts of Scotland. So some
01:40more cloud here, some showery outbreaks and still a chance we could see the odd shower
01:44affecting parts of Cornwall. But once again on Sunday, really feeling like spring. Lots
01:49of blue skies around and feeling warm still too. That's away from the far north of Scotland
01:54though where it's still going to be a little bit unsettled here. More cloud and outbreaks
01:58of rain. But still temperatures widely above average. 16, 17, once again 18 or 19 where
02:04we see that sunshine. So a fairly pleasant weekend. Lots of dry weather around. But it
02:09looks like it's going to be turning chilly into next week. So enjoy the warm weather
02:12while it's here. Bye bye.
