Hello there. For cricket fans out there it's been an all too familiar

7:48:587:49:01

and rather frustrating start to England's first test.

7:49:017:49:04

This was the story at Headingley on Saturday -

7:49:047:49:07

rain stopped play through the middle part of the day.

7:49:077:49:10

It does look as though there's a risk of some showers for Sunday

7:49:107:49:13

but not as widespread,

7:49:137:49:14

and hopefully not as prolonged as Saturday.

7:49:147:49:18

A weather front moving away,

7:49:187:49:19

showers start to develop out to the west.

7:49:197:49:21

But the day will start off quite promising.

7:49:217:49:24

A rather, dull, drab, dank start in the south-east corner

7:49:247:49:27

but elsewhere, some sunshine. A chilly start in rural parts

7:49:277:49:30

and then as we go through the day temperatures start to rise

7:49:307:49:33

and showers become more widespread into the afternoon.

7:49:337:49:36

Some of these a little more slow-moving though,

7:49:367:49:38

with lighter winds across the country.

7:49:387:49:40

Now, if you dodge the showers, you keep the sunshine -

7:49:407:49:42

it will feel pleasant enough, temperatures generally at

7:49:427:49:45

around 12 to 18 degrees. So we can't rule out the risk of a shower

7:49:457:49:48

at Headingley, particularly through the middle part of the day.

7:49:487:49:52

Now, as we move out of Sunday. Most of the showers will start to

7:49:527:49:56

ease away through the night. And things will quieten down.

7:49:567:50:00

We could see a little bit of patchy mist and fog forming,

7:50:007:50:03

bit more of a breeze on exposed coasts and temperatures

7:50:037:50:06

in rural areas will fall down to lower values,

7:50:067:50:09

so here a little on the chilly side to start Monday morning.

7:50:097:50:12

But we start off Monday morning again on a

7:50:127:50:15

relatively dry, bright note.

7:50:157:50:16

There will be a stiffening northerly breeze down through North Sea

7:50:167:50:20

coasts and a few showers here.

7:50:207:50:21

And through the middle of the day we're likely to see perhaps

7:50:217:50:24

a more organised line of showers through the spine of the country,

7:50:247:50:27

highest values of 12 to 17 degrees. As we move out of Monday

7:50:277:50:31

into Tuesday, it certainly looks as though high pressure

7:50:317:50:34

is trying to calm things down a little, and it will do so.

7:50:347:50:38

But it's going to allow this north-easterly flow for a time,

7:50:387:50:41

making it feel just that little bit cooler than of late.

7:50:417:50:45

So, a disappointing feel out there, despite a good deal of dry weather.

7:50:457:50:49

The coolest feel is probably likely to be on the North Sea coasts.

7:50:497:50:52

Away from that strengthening wind in a little more brightness

7:50:527:50:55

further west, perhaps we'll see the best of the drier, sunnier weather

7:50:557:50:58

and temperatures will respond as well.

7:50:587:51:01

So, by the middle of Tuesday afternoon, we're likely

7:51:017:51:03

to see highest values of around 14 or 15 degrees -

7:51:037:51:06

disappointing, really, for late May,

7:51:067:51:09

but cooler still on North Sea coasts,

7:51:097:51:11

with temperatures sitting at around 11.

7:51:117:51:14

That area of low pressure will start to move in from the North Sea.

7:51:147:51:17

There's a level of uncertainty as to timings of this,

7:51:177:51:19

but it is going to drift its way steadily westwards

7:51:197:51:22

and it will bring some rain with it, moving its way from east to west.

7:51:227:51:26

A cooler feel, generally, on Wednesday under the cloud and rain.

7:51:267:51:29

Ten or 12 degrees - 16 the highest values. And perhaps then dry

7:51:297:51:33

in the south-east corner. That low continues to move out of the way.

7:51:337:51:37

Another front will push up from the south -

7:51:377:51:39

that's going to bring some showery outbreaks of rain,

7:51:397:51:42

but behind it, it will start to drag in slightly milder air for

7:51:427:51:45

the southern half of the country. We still keep a subdued feel

7:51:457:51:48

with the winds coming in off the sea out to the east.

7:51:487:51:50

And that easterly flow continues, really, late on into next week,

7:51:507:51:55

and towards the bank holiday weekend. But low pressure

7:51:557:51:57

starts to influence the story into the south-west

7:51:577:52:00

and that's potentially going to drag in much warmer

7:52:007:52:03

air down to the south.

7:52:037:52:05

But once that interacts with that area of low pressure,

7:52:057:52:08

it doesn't mean warm, settled sunny weather.

7:52:087:52:10

In actual fact, it could bring some torrential thundery downpours

7:52:107:52:14

to the southern half of the country. Further north,

7:52:147:52:17

a cooler feel, but here it could stay drier and brighter.

7:52:177:52:20

Yes, it's bank holiday weekend, yes, we will firm up on the details

7:52:207:52:23

as and when we get them.
