Our Olympic golds are at least providing a welcome distraction

:00:12.:00:17.

that our weather falls well short of a medal position. Showers in

:00:18.:00:22.

Eastern England in the next few hours. Of note is this spiralling

:00:22.:00:25.

cloud. The telltale sign of low pressure to the west. A cluster of

:00:25.:00:27.

storms around that. The spiral itself an indication of longer

:00:27.:00:32.

spells of rain. As part of that gets closer to the south-west of

:00:32.:00:34.

Northern Ireland, through tonight with wetter conditions by dawn,

:00:34.:00:37.

still affecting the far north of Scotland as well, but in between,

:00:37.:00:41.

most of the showers will fade. A few heavy ones still possible in

:00:41.:00:46.

the west, but many of us go into Friday on a dry, reasonably mild

:00:46.:00:50.

note. It's not going to stay that way for all of us. If anything,

:00:50.:00:53.

more showers around Friday than there were today. That include at

:00:53.:00:57.

the events at Weymouth and Eton Dorney. Eton in particular, a cross

:00:57.:01:00.

wind here coming from the south- west. If we do see some showers get

:01:00.:01:03.

close by during the morning, the wind will be rather gusty. We will

:01:03.:01:08.

take the showers that develop across the south coast early on

:01:08.:01:14.

towards the south and East Anglia. Brighter conditions, then spirals

:01:14.:01:18.

of cloud bring in longer spells of rain through the day initially in

:01:18.:01:21.

Northern Ireland, but spreading into western England and Wales and

:01:21.:01:23.

south-west Scotland for the afternoon. Alternatively, we start

:01:23.:01:28.

to see things brighten up in the north-west of Scotland. A lot of

:01:28.:01:33.

dry and bright weather, and for Northern Ireland, I suspect it will

:01:33.:01:37.

be brighter than the morning. For England and Wales a similar day to

:01:37.:01:44.

today - some sunshine, but some heavy, potentially thundery showers.

:01:44.:01:47.

To the south-east, maybe fewer showers during the afternoon than

:01:47.:01:51.

you'll see in the morning. There is the potential we could stay dry for

:01:51.:02:01.

the first day of the athletics, the Olympic stadium. The risks ease off

:02:01.:02:06.

through the evening. In Coventry, team GB take on Canada.

:02:06.:02:09.

Showers won't be too far away. We'll see showers into the at ooh

:02:09.:02:15.

night into the weekend. That is because that same area of low

:02:15.:02:18.

pressure pushes home. The atmosphere is really loaded to
