hello there. we've had some interesting clouds sent in to us here at the bbc weather centre over recent days. this was monday's effort from cardiff. it's a funnel cloud, a tornado that doesn't reach its way all the way down to the ground. and what about this beauty from sunday, from the north yorkshire area. but what if the atmosphere had 25 times more energy built up in it, ready to be released in one violent outbreak? well, that's what we've got going on across parts of the united states. at the moment, through texas and oklahoma, these storm clouds have already produced some tornadoes and there is the potential for some of these tornadoes to become violent, wide and have a long track along the ground. so some extreme weather across the united states. here in the uk, over the next few hours, expect some more rain to come in. scotland, some damp weather here. otherwise, it's a largely dry picture but again, it's quite murky around some of our eastern coasts with mist and fog patches particularly again for eastern eastern areas of scotland.

into western areas. a bit of uncertainty about that but for many of us, i think there will be a little bit more in the way of high cloud in the sky, making any sunshine hazy. quite warm again. temperatures high—teens to low 20s fairly widely. on into friday and the weekend, it looks like the jetstream will start moving straight across the uk and that will tend to encourage outbreaks of rain, particularly across northern areas. we could see some rain at times, some uncertainty in the details of the rain. it will probably turn cloudier and breezier through the weekend. that's your weather.
