:04:45. > :04:52.so do I, it is pretty easy to make that fight. Now the weather. Good

:04:53. > :04:57.evening. After rainy start, not a bad day in the end. Cloudy and mild,

:04:58. > :05:01.but as we go through this evening I'm afraid we are going to start to

:05:02. > :05:06.see a little bit of rain through the night tonight, before some more

:05:07. > :05:11.organised rain just before the dawn, but that means it will be a

:05:12. > :05:17.mild night. Look at these temperatures, 12 degrees. It does

:05:18. > :05:25.set the tone for Sunday. We are going to have a cloudy start. This

:05:26. > :05:32.band of rain is working from West to East during the morning, but after

:05:33. > :05:40.that we get clearer skies, brighter spells, temperatures into the middle

:05:41. > :05:44.teens, that is in marked contrast to what is happening across the rest of

:05:45. > :05:49.the UK. The rain has moved out of Ireland, we will see rain in the

:05:50. > :05:52.south-east, cloud everywhere across Great Britain, just the west of

:05:53. > :05:58.Wales missing out on that. Really, we are getting the best of the

:05:59. > :06:04.afternoon on Sunday, but as those skies clear, temperatures will drop

:06:05. > :06:10.away on Sunday night. It will be called compared to tonight. Monday

:06:11. > :06:16.is wet and soggy, quite mild, temperatures into double figures.

:06:17. > :06:18.Not brilliant, but by the time we get to next week, the high pressure

:06:19. > :06:24.will establish itself during the middle of the week, and we will see

:06:25. > :06:29.some settled weather ahead. We will be back tomorrow evening. In the

:06:30. > :06:34.meantime you can keep up-to-date with BBC your Ulster or a local news

:06:35. > :06:36.service. Goodbye.
