times. It should be largely mild if it is rather breezy. Now for the

national outlook. it is rather breezy. Now for the

national outlook. It was quite a wet day across many

northern and western parts of the UK. This was the view in Lancashire

not so long ago. For the weekend we are looking to see further rain, all

coming from the west, so the further east you are, it should be drier. It

will be quite a windy weekend for all parts. The radar from earlier

today showing quite a bit of rain across the North and west. The only

rain across the East has been light and patchy, but heavy bursts further

west. The satellite sequence shows cloud over the UK at the moment.

Plenty more cloud over the Atlantic, and it's heading our way, most of it

rain bearing. Tomorrow night, still wet for most areas. Snow over the

hills of Scotland, not much rain in the east, but still some. With the

crowd and breeze, temperatures kept up at eight or nine foremost, but

northern Scotland will be cold enough for icy patches in the far

north. The morning looks pretty wet much of Wales, south-west of England

light rain and drizzle here and there. For the most part, cloudy and

breezy but dry, the air is mild, eight or 9 degrees in the morning.

Scotland through the morning, but dry weather to hand as well. When

the showers go, the north-east of Scotland should get good spells of

sunshine. Cloudy for the West with outbreaks of rain, some trying to

get across the Pennines. Anything that does will be light and patchy.

The rain weakening in the West through the afternoon. It's a big

day for the six Nations rugby matches. I think there will be a lot

of cloud and breeze for all three venues. Second part of the weekend,

another area of rain affecting North Ireland and northern England,

sinking south through the day. Scattered showers for Scotland and

Northern Ireland. Looking ahead to the early part of next week, Monday

looks fairly unsettled, particularly across England and Wales. From

Tuesday onwards, cooler air coming to
