Good evening. By the time the get the all-important back Holiday

weekend, we will be casting our eyes to the north for the weather -

- Bank Holiday weekend. Look at these clusters of cloud from

Germany and watch how they have exploded to life. These are

torrential thunderstorms which have broken out and they are starting to

work towards us. Some of the heaviest rain probably between East

Anglia, the South Midlands, towards South Wales. With the ground

already saturated from rain this week, there is the risk of further

minor flooding. Clear skies in the West colonist and low cloud to the

east meaning a grey start to Thursday morning. The rain not as

heavy through the south-west overnight and drying out in the

morning with brightness developing along the coast. Some fog through

the Channel. East Anglia to the Midlands and South Wales, this is

the wettest conditions. Cloudy and Miss D T eastern parts of northern

England, eastern Scotland but in western areas you can see the

sunshine popping out -- mystique to eastern parts of northern England.

It will be another fine and warm day. Brighten up to eastern

Scotland and northern England. Brightening up in southern coastal

counties of England. The rain eases in intensity but temperatures

struggled to lift much above nine or 10 degrees. That area of rain

fizzles out through Thursday night into Friday. Then casting our eyes

to the north, this band of rain working southwards across Scotland

into Northern Ireland and northern England, introducing Calder air.

Sunshine, scattered showers. Lighter winds on Friday for England

and Wales. One or two showers. Temperature still getting into the

mid- teens. The cold front moves its way southwards by the weekend.
