Good evening. There is still some atrocious conditions out there at

the moment. In some areas things could worsen before they get better.

There is hope that tomorrow there'll be drier weather once this

swathe of cloud has swept away. This mass of cloud - that is a

storm brewing for the weekend. With today's rain on top of what we have

seen this week, there are over 100 flood warnings in force.

Even though the rain is tending to ease in western areas, that rain

still has to flow into the river systems, so we could see further

flood problems. You can see that swathe of rain. Some sharp, intense

bursts, coupled with some very gusty winds, which have brought

down trees and damaged buildings today. We are certainly not out of

the woods yet. There'll be wild weather overnight. There could be

problems with flooding and damage because of the winds. Generally

speaking the showery activity should ease. Drier away from the

coast in the north and west. Chilly inland.

Icy patches in Scotland and Northern Ireland. It looks like, as

I say, a quiet day for many - drier. For a while we will have the rain

in southern and eastern areas. Some sunshine inland. Showers still

pestering the Irish Sea coasts of England and Wales and gathering

over Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland during the day. Showers

continuing. They could be lively, as within hail, thunder and sleet

and snow over the hills. They could give large rainfall amounts at time.

Not the persistent rain of today. You can see they brew up a little

bit more. Although the sun comes out in the south and the east, it

will not feel particularly warm. It is just one day, we think, at the

moment of drier weather. Following a frosty night tomorrow night, all

eyes turn to the Bay of Biscay, where another storm is brewing. So

potential for wet and windy weather to sweep northwards across the UK.

Warnings are already out for that weather system, because it is

likely we'll see further disruption, particularly as we have had such
