hello. well, the rain clouds are starting to clear, and the weather is improving across scotland after what has been a very wet couple of days. and of course, not just scotland, but northern england too. here's the radar from the last 12 hours or so — and in aberdeenshire, in char, we had about 160mm of rain in just the last two days or so. but that rain is getting lighter. it's not going to be a completely dry day, though, on saturday. how about the weekend overall? well, it will be a mixed bag for most of us, certainly some sunshine in the forecast, but blustery showers

are expected too. here's the satellite picture, and this weather front fast approaching will be sweeping over us, but not until saturday night. so actually, during the course of saturday, we'll be in between weather systems — here's that weather front fast approaching ireland — but out towards the east, we have the remnants of a weather front, it's starting to rain itself out. and then look at this central part of the uk — lots of fine weather right from the morning onwards. now, the morning will be chilly — 3 degrees in belfast at 8am in the morning, 6 degrees there in the midlands, and certainly, earlier than that, that will have been a frost in the countryside. now, the forecast through the afternoon shows plenty of bright, if not sunny weather in central parts of britain. in the east, that rain fizzles away from that thicker cloud. but out towards the west, that's where the next weather front is sweeping in from, and belfast will have a wet saturday evening. and then, overnight, that weather front�*s basically going to sweep across the country, so most of us will get at least some rain. here it is early on

sunday morning, early hours, it sweeps out into the north sea. and then, behind it, quite a few isobars there, so quite blustery winds and also frequent showers. now, some of the showers will be heavy, possibly even thundery in some western areas, particularly in the north—west here, but many of us will have a fine day. now, it will be quite cool air rushing in off the atlantic, temperatures typically into single figures across most of the uk, maybe in the south touching around 11 or 12 degrees for a moment or two in the afternoon on sunday. how about the outlook into next week? it is looking unsettled, monday is going to be a wet and windy day for some of us. and those temperatures holding around single figures in the north, closer to double in the south. bye— bye.
