weekend summary for London. Now time for the National forecast.

Good evening, if you are a meteorologist, tomorrow is the first

day of spring. But mother nature has little regard for such labels. That

is one explanation for why spring starts with a touch of frost and

fog. Sunny spells on Saturday before outbreaks of rain from the West on

Sunday. Already a lot of cloud out West but before that, we have to get

rid of this cloud across the East which is rather stubborn and brings

outbreaks of rain across parts of East Anglia and the far South East.

Scattered showers elsewhere at many places with clear skies and

temperatures of falling. Many towns and cities will stay above freezing

but a frost in the countryside and it may turn a bit icy predictably in

the South. In the South East and East Anglia, temperatures above

freezing but it is a great start to the weekend with showers across

Norfolk, Suffolk and Kent. But the West, a dry slice and showers across

the bar West of England and Wales, but the majority of England and

Wales having a dry day, but there may be fog until the middle of the

morning. A dry start for much of Scotland, chilly with sunny spells.

Cardiff skies across Northern Ireland. Through the day, it will

take a while for the cloud tick here -- clear scattered showers in the

West but many places will be dry and bright with sunshine after the frost

and fog has cleared, temperatures will climb to the average will be

early part of Mark -- March. Temperatures will drop quickly in

the South in the evening. Rain across Northern Ireland and northern

England and Scotland, snow over the hills. As that clears and

temperatures all tomorrow night again the risk of things turning icy

giggly across northern Britain. -- temperatures fall. It cold starts to

Sunday and the next area of pressure approaches -- a cold start. Showers

clear away and eastern areas see some bright weather but Sunday is

much cloudier and this is the next band of rain. It will not reach the

East until late afternoon but it will be a soggy end to the weekend

and unsettled into the early part
