Temperatures in the teens. So, the likelihood of a few showers

Good evening. For some of us turning soggy this weekend. For others

:09:33.:09:46.

increasingly sunny. Don't make this the last forecast you see this

:09:47.:09:53.

weekend T rain could cause some problems. Sunshine will follow the

:09:54.:09:56.

rain from the south. Overnight a lot of rain from south-west England and

:09:57.:10:02.

south-west Wales. One or two thunderstorms, close to the London

:10:03.:10:06.

area, into East Anglia. Showers over Northern Ireland. A largely dry

:10:07.:10:09.

start to the day here. Further south, there will be rain around.

:10:10.:10:15.

Already signs of improvement across the far south-west at 10am. Patchy

:10:16.:10:19.

outbreaks of rain elsewhere across southern counties. Sharp showers

:10:20.:10:22.

through the day. Brighter spells between. Heavy and persistent rain

:10:23.:10:28.

across west Wales, up through the Irish Sea, into southern Scotland.

:10:29.:10:32.

The main focus of concern. Some question mark about how far west

:10:33.:10:37.

that rain extends. Within the wettest areas we could see an inch

:10:38.:10:40.

of rain or two.
