well, that's it from me today. lucy has your headlines in the next few minutes. now it is time for a look at the weather. hello there. it looks like being a pretty good day for most of us today. the weather is going to change in time for the weekend, mind you, but for the rest of the day, a lot of dry weather to come. the showers in the west continuing to fade away and there will be some spells of sunshine, as well. but if we look at the satellite picture, you can see all this cloud here in the atlantic, that's spilling its way towards the uk and will bring very different weather overnight and into saturday. the cloud already beginning to push into the south—west of england, wales, later towards northern ireland, but ahead of that through the afternoon, plenty of sunshine around. it should be dry. temperatures making double figures in england and wales. still a bit chilly in the north—east of scotland and, here, there could be an early frost, but early because the cloud is coming in from the south—west. that's bringing rain. it will bring some stronger winds and push the temperatures up, as well. some quite heavy rain, actually, for a while over the moors of the south—west, the hills of south wales.

these are the temperatures by the end of the night, so a very mild start to the weekend. but things are going to look very different from today because we've got this weather front bringing the rain. it's wrapped around that area of low pressure. that's also bringing in some stronger winds, but it's actually bringing in air all the way from the tropics and that's why it's going to be so mild to start the weekend. but a cloudy start, with some rain around. still some heavy bursts of rain here and there. you see how it slowly pushes down towards the south—east, up towards north—eastern scotland. away from these areas, we should get some sunshine after the rain. showers, though, coming into northern ireland and particularly western scotland. those could be quite heavy. it will be pretty windy out there, as well. we're likely to have gales through the irish sea and around some western coasts, but it is very mild air, so temperatures could reach 15, possibly even 16 degrees, along the south coast of england. with that weather front and the band of rain out of the way for the second half of the weekend, we've still got that area of low pressure close by and it still could have around it some thicker cloud, some showers or some longer spells of rain, mainly for the northern half

of the uk, where it's not quite so windy. further south, the winds are certainly going to be strong, but at least there will be some sunshine outside of those showers and, whilst not quite as mild, temperatures still are going to be 13 degrees. the wind direction changes early next week to more of a north or north—westerly, bringing in a lot of cloud to start next week, but also dropping the temperatures for a while.
