we are seeing the weather front moving across the western isles, parts of the highlands, up isles, partslt as well but dry weather elsewhere. it will generally be on a cloudy day. but it is milder than recent days so double figures across the map, between 10—13 on saturday. let's look at the expected rainfall that will accumulate just through the weekend. you can see these colours, these deep greens and white colours across the west of scotland with an amber warning heavy rain across parts of the highland, could be about 175 millimetres there so enough to cause flooding through saturday night and sunday, so wet weather continuing to piling across the west of scotland as we had through into sunday morning. drier elsewhere but a frost free night, temperatures remaining about 8— 11 degrees. we have them while they're on sunday coming in from the southwesterly direction, it is lasting through the day on monday, some of us on tuesday as well but colder air weighting to the far north. whether to air masses meat is where we see the rain. so for sunday, persistent across the northwest of scotlan
