:04:21. > :04:27.Today might have been a better day but there was plenty of evidence

:04:28. > :04:36.from storm Desmond, particularly our across parts of the West. There will

:04:37. > :04:42.be further showers and it will often be windy. After a chilly start,

:04:43. > :04:47.temperatures are rising and the breeze is picking up as well.

:04:48. > :04:53.Tomorrow, pretty unsettled. The wind is a key feature and so is rain.

:04:54. > :04:59.That batch of rain will probably move away towards the end of the

:05:21. > :05:25.will give persistent and heavy bursts of rain. Strong blustery

:05:26. > :05:29.winds as well. A Met Office warning is place for the rain, given there

:05:30. > :05:35.is already flooding and saturated ground. That weather front moves out

:05:36. > :05:40.of the way but another couple of weather systems living in on Tuesday

:05:41. > :05:46.and into Wednesday with plenty of ice bars so it will be very windy.

:05:47. > :05:49.Blustery on Tuesday, eventually cleaving from the south-east where

:05:50. > :05:53.it will be dry and bright. Bright and the North as well with the

:05:54. > :05:57.future is on Tuesday. The little bit cooler then turning milder as we

:05:58. > :06:05.head into Wednesday. Wet across northern areas. More warnings in

:06:06. > :06:08.place for localised flooding. Dryer and brighter towards the south-east

:06:09. > :06:13.and hopefully for Northern Ireland, by the time we get to Thursday, it

:06:14. > :06:15.will be brighter. Just a few showers but still breezy and cooler again.
