hello there. we started our week on a colder note with further wintry showers around, but we closed out with the mild air once again winning the battle. it was a beautiful afternoon on friday across north—east england with temperatures peeking into the mid—teens. but it was a classic spring story for many. sunny spells and scattered showers and some of those heavy and thundery. and that team is going to continue for the first half of the weekend. sunshine and sharp showers around on saturday. a ridge of high pressure will build on sunday though. quite a fine, dry story to come. by

four saturday it's all about this area of low pressure, more persistent rain and eventually some cold air across the far north of scotland will turn the back edge of that across the northern isles to snow for a time. forthe northern isles to snow for a time. for the bulk of the country we are satin as mild air, so it will be a milder day but with further sunny spells and scattered showers. 0n and scattered showers. on saturday, lighter winds, so details could be pretty slow—moving and once again there could be happy with the odd of thunder. persistent rain into western scotland gradually moving into the northern isles as we close out the day. here in the colder air, 5—8, further south damages could be into the mid—teens in places. now, as we move out to saturday night into sunday the winds will strengthen as this rain of moves through the northern isles and the back edge of that could see a wintry mix developing which is worth bearing in mind. but with a ridge of high pressure building it's going to be a relatively quiet night to come and under those clearer skies as that

rain, sleet, snow eases away temperatures will fall away, low single figures in scotland, but a cooler start to sunday morning. hopefully that will translate into a sunny one as we see clear skies. a little bit of cloud lingering across the south—east, sunshine coming through throughout the day, gradually in the middle of the afternoon clouding to the west. but not a bad mothering sunday in prospect. temperatures are likely to pick between five and nine degrees in the north, may be around 11—13 for the south. into monday, another area of low pressure looks to develop and that will allow a south—westerly the mild air is that to return so it turns milder and wetter for the start of a new working week. the heaviest of the rain moving a sway across scotland, there will be showers putting in across was facing those and often windy at times as well. the best of the drier, brighter weather reserved for eastern areas where once again those temperatures will sit at around 14 celsius the higher. the

trundle system has yet to clear away, so on tuesday we will continue to see plenty of showers. now, thejet stream continue to see plenty of showers. now, the jet stream as we look further ahead looks likely to remain to the south of us. it is the jet stream thatis of us. it is the jet stream that is responsible for steering areas of low pressure so we will see one low moving in from the atlantic only to be replaced by yet another and look at how close the isobars are. the wind is a feature. is that low drifts off to the east and then pulls down a northerly wind, so towards the end of the week and into the weekend we will start to see all the air potentially winning out. it's a long way ahead, still plenty to play for. one thing is for it is going to be unsettled through the week ahead. showers along the spells of rain, often windy at times, potentially getting that little bit taller towards the end of next weekend. that's it. take care.
