Western Scotland - will spread further eastwards during the day,

becoming windy tomorrow, gales in the west and north with

a high of 16 in London. Still dry into the afternoon

in Wales, but cloudier, becoming windy, too, strong to gale

force winds with some rain spreading from the west later in the afternoon

into the evening, with some heavy A short spell of wet

and windy weather tomorrow evening, staying windy overnight,

with clear spells and blustery Now, Friday will be a breezy, windy

day, with showers heavy in places, hail and thunder possible, even

a little snow on the mountaintops. Some dry, bright weather
