We've got some promising weather on the way this weekend -

0:00:020:00:05

some sunshine, feeling quite warm as well,

0:00:050:00:07

and it looks like it's going to carry on into next week as well

0:00:070:00:10

so here's the summary for the weekend.

0:00:100:00:12

It's blue skies but not blue skies for everybody -

0:00:120:00:15

there will be a bit of cloud around too.

0:00:150:00:17

Now, in the last 24 hours or so,

0:00:170:00:19

we've had a fair bit of cloud and rain.

0:00:190:00:21

During the course of Thursday,

0:00:210:00:23

the cloud has been shifting away to the south.

0:00:230:00:25

I'm going to show you the jet stream now.

0:00:250:00:27

Now, look what happens through the course of Thursday -

0:00:270:00:30

the jet stream comes in from the north

0:00:300:00:32

and then it sort of tilts,

0:00:320:00:34

comes in from the north-east

0:00:340:00:36

and sheers away all of this mess,

0:00:360:00:38

this cloud that has been across

0:00:380:00:39

some southern and south-western areas

0:00:390:00:41

so we've got to get rid of this low

0:00:410:00:42

for that clearer weather to develop.

0:00:420:00:44

And actually, here, we've also got

0:00:440:00:46

a sort of elongated area of high pressure

0:00:460:00:49

that stretches all the way from the Azores.

0:00:490:00:51

What does all of that mean?

0:00:510:00:52

Well, it means that the weather is settling down.

0:00:520:00:55

We've had a low pressure close to us,

0:00:550:00:57

it's out of the way in the next 24 hours,

0:00:570:01:00

and that will give way

0:01:000:01:02

to a window of opportunity, a window of fine weather,

0:01:020:01:05

so some sunshine certainly

0:01:050:01:07

on the way for Friday afternoon.

0:01:070:01:09

Now, the last dregs of that low pressure

0:01:090:01:11

may be just about across the south-west of the country

0:01:110:01:14

in the form of a bit of cloud but really,

0:01:140:01:16

the vast majority of the UK,

0:01:160:01:18

Friday afternoon, enjoying that sun.

0:01:180:01:20

Now, the best of the weather

0:01:200:01:21

will be across central and western areas of the country

0:01:210:01:24

because closer to that North Sea coast,

0:01:240:01:26

with a breeze off the North Sea,

0:01:260:01:28

it is going to feel chilly in one or two areas,

0:01:280:01:30

particularly around say Lincolnshire

0:01:300:01:33

into East Anglia as well.

0:01:330:01:34

That north-easterly wind there,

0:01:340:01:36

that'll feel quite chilly in Norwich.

0:01:360:01:38

But where you're in the centre of the high,

0:01:380:01:39

where the light winds will be,

0:01:390:01:41

we'll have clear weather and quite chilly weather as well

0:01:410:01:43

so a touch of frost, I think,

0:01:430:01:45

on the way on maybe Saturday morning.

0:01:450:01:47

Now, that high anchors itself across the UK.

0:01:470:01:49

We were talking about it yesterday, no changes,

0:01:490:01:51

even a couple of highs there - two for the price of one.

0:01:510:01:53

A couple of lows further south as well.

0:01:530:01:55

Now, remember that the winds

0:01:550:01:57

blow around the high pressure

0:01:570:01:59

in a clockwise fashion

0:01:590:02:00

so in the centre, it's calm,

0:02:000:02:02

it's windless and sunny

0:02:020:02:03

but around these coastal areas,

0:02:030:02:05

it's always going to feel a little bit more colder

0:02:050:02:07

because of the sea

0:02:070:02:09

that's around the country right now.

0:02:090:02:11

Now, that was the weekend.

0:02:110:02:12

Here's Monday - look what happens.

0:02:120:02:14

If we pan out a little bit more,

0:02:140:02:16

there is a change from yesterday's forecast.

0:02:160:02:18

Rather than a high,

0:02:180:02:19

we've got a big area of low pressure here

0:02:190:02:21

with the winds blowing round like so.

0:02:210:02:23

Now, that heralds a change in the weather.

0:02:230:02:25

On the Monday, that low

0:02:250:02:27

is still way out there in the Atlantic,

0:02:270:02:29

it's still quite far away,

0:02:290:02:30

too far away to influence us

0:02:300:02:31

but the thinking is that as we head into Tuesday,

0:02:310:02:35

the clouds will start building but despite that,

0:02:350:02:39

we could still see temperatures

0:02:390:02:41

of up to 17 degrees Celsius.

0:02:410:02:42

So the start of the week will start to change

0:02:420:02:45

but it will be relatively warm anyway.

0:02:450:02:47

Midweek onwards,

0:02:470:02:49

that low that I've just shown you will kind of edge

0:02:490:02:51

a little bit closer to our neighbourhood

0:02:510:02:53

so that means that across some of these western areas,

0:02:530:02:56

under the influence of this low pressure,

0:02:560:02:58

we are going to see increasing amounts of cloud

0:02:580:03:01

and also the possibility of

0:03:010:03:03

a little bit of light rain

0:03:030:03:04

flirting with western areas of the UK.

0:03:040:03:07

Eastern parts of the country

0:03:070:03:09

on the other hand

0:03:090:03:10

still in for some dry weather

0:03:100:03:12

and at least some sunshine.

0:03:120:03:14

Now, that was a lot to take in so let's summarise all of that -

0:03:140:03:16

the weekend's looking settled,

0:03:160:03:18

it's looking settled early next week as well

0:03:180:03:20

but then Wednesday onwards,

0:03:200:03:22

a low pressure comes close to the UK

0:03:220:03:24

and things are going to go downhill just a little bit.

0:03:240:03:28

Thanks for watching.
