:08:23. > :08:27.persistent rain across the North West especially and a windy night
:08:28. > :08:32.for all of us with strong, if not deal force southerly winds. Cloudy
:08:33. > :08:35.tomorrow, that rain keeps coming from the north-west. Gradually
:08:36. > :08:38.extending its way that bit further south and east. A Met Office yellow
:08:39. > :08:43.bee aware warning in force in the west throughout most of the day
:08:44. > :08:47.tomorrow due to be persisted and heavy nature of that rain. Some
:08:48. > :08:51.localised flooding possible. Hazardous driving conditions and
:08:52. > :08:57.those winds still strong and some destruction to ferry services
:08:58. > :09:00.likely. We do have some shelter with some drier, brighter conditions
:09:01. > :09:06.across the likes of the borders in towards Edinburgh. North Aberdeen
:09:07. > :09:10.shire and the Moray coast and given any brightness in the sunshine,
:09:11. > :09:15.temperatures will rise to around 19 Celsius here. Very much the
:09:16. > :09:20.exception to the rule, however, most of us cloudy and rainy. A clearance
:09:21. > :09:23.coming into words the Western Isles and sky towards the end of the
:09:24. > :09:29.afternoon. The wind is beginning to ease here too. Across the far North
:09:30. > :09:33.East at the Northern Isles, rather cloudy skies. Any rain we do seek
:09:34. > :09:37.you will be light and the wind will remain strong to gale force. For the
:09:38. > :09:40.rest of the UK tomorrow, that rain continues to track its way to
:09:41. > :09:44.Northern Ireland, eventually reaching the South West of England,
:09:45. > :09:47.possibly Wales. Further south and east of here, with that warm,
:09:48. > :09:52.southerly airflow, temperatures will be well above average for the time
:09:53. > :09:55.of year. And first Saturday evening and night coming eventually that
:09:56. > :09:58.rain clears way to the east and the winds will ease will stop on Sunday,
:09:59. > :09:59.it looks showery. That is the forecast.
:10:00. > :10:02.From everyone on the late team here in Glasgow
:10:03. > :10:04.and around the country, goodnight.
