:22:24. > :22:28.of the South West have had some really heavy showers, most of which
:22:29. > :22:33.have now gone. Let's start with a summary of what is going to happen
:22:34. > :22:39.tomorrow. We should get somd decent weather, with some sunshine. Very
:22:40. > :22:44.few showers if they do occur. It is quite a warm day. Temperatures up to
:22:45. > :22:47.18 degrees. When you look at the big satellite picture, you can see that
:22:48. > :22:52.there is plenty of clouds. That is going to trouble is over thd next
:22:53. > :22:56.few days. There is an area of low pressure to the south. We are
:22:57. > :23:00.between that and one to the North. By the middle of tomorrow, the chart
:23:01. > :23:04.shows that ridge of high prdssure. It is a very weak one but it keeps
:23:05. > :23:13.us dry. That is the most important thing. By Thursday, the are` of low
:23:14. > :23:16.pressure moves up. There is the potential for some quite he`vy rain.
:23:17. > :23:21.Closer look at that satellite picture shows you the showers that
:23:22. > :23:24.we saw earlier today. Most of those have now faded away and it should be
:23:25. > :23:29.largely fine evening and a fine end today. Before I get into thd
:23:30. > :23:33.forecast, let's go to anothdr part of the south coast. Earlier today,
:23:34. > :23:38.our cameraman was out enjoyhng more for fine weather. The south coast
:23:39. > :23:43.has been blessed with some sunshine today. Some of the wildlife enjoying

:23:48. > :23:51.most of the showers have now faded away. Some of the heaviest were
:23:52. > :23:58.across parts of the high ground of Dartmoor and Exmoor. This evening,
:23:59. > :24:03.the showers have pretty much gone. The forecast is a dry one. There is
:24:04. > :24:07.a bit of a breeze along the south coast at the moment but I think the
:24:08. > :24:11.winds will be like. Overnight, inland at least, we will probably
