:00:00. > :00:12.the national picture. Good evening. The dry October
:00:13. > :00:16.weather is set to continue into the weekend. It's been kind if you've
:00:17. > :00:20.been on half term. Not that I'm promising this sort of weather for
:00:21. > :00:24.all. Isn't it lovely, taken on the Isle of Wight. Our top temperature
:00:25. > :00:29.was 17 Celsius, not too far away. What a lovely and to the date here
:00:30. > :00:35.at Mansfield Woodhouse. We have had some sunshine and warmth. It is set
:00:36. > :00:39.to continue, but the fly in the ointment is a weakening weather
:00:40. > :00:43.friend. It's edging southwards. To the south we are seeing patchy mist
:00:44. > :00:47.and dense fog, around potentially for the morning. Not as widespread
:00:48. > :00:51.as recently but just as dangerous. Quite mild here but to the north we
:00:52. > :00:55.have chilly air, just briefly, because come the weekend we are all
:00:56. > :01:05.bathed once again in the mild Atlantic air. The chilly air does
:01:06. > :01:07.mean a touch of rural frost in the morning in Scotland, but also some
:01:08. > :01:10.sunshine. Further south the fog will take time to clear as it does this
:01:11. > :01:15.time of year. The cloud comes and goes. Where we see some brightness,
:01:16. > :01:19.some sunshine will lift the temperatures to 16-17. With the
:01:20. > :01:22.weather front over East Anglia and the Midlands there could be some
:01:23. > :01:26.health fog as well. To the north, temperatures not as high as they
:01:27. > :01:31.have been but more sunshine, quite a sparkling day for some. Just a few
:01:32. > :01:34.showers around. For Northern Ireland the cloud increases in the afternoon
:01:35. > :01:37.because the weather front is moving northwards tomorrow. Some
:01:38. > :01:41.intensification in the rain for the far north and west, damp start on
:01:42. > :01:45.Saturday. Elsewhere we are prone to cloud breaks and mist and fog issues
:01:46. > :01:50.on Saturday morning, taking until mid-morning to clear and then we get
:01:51. > :01:54.into the brighter, dry weather for most and quite warm, particularly of
:01:55. > :01:58.sunshine breaks through, for this time of year at 14-17dC. Saturday
:01:59. > :02:01.night brings the approaching weather fronts to the north-west, so
:02:02. > :02:06.probably thicker cloud and rain here but for the majority for Saturday
:02:07. > :02:10.into Sunday there will be a lot of dry weather for devoutly and bear in
:02:11. > :02:14.mind Saturday night into Sunday as the night of the clock change, when
:02:15. > :02:18.we get an extra hour's sleep and an extra hour in bed so you will wake
:02:19. > :02:21.up to some rather grey weather on Sunday morning but hopefully we will
:02:22. > :02:26.see things brightening up. On Sunday the weather front is close to
:02:27. > :02:28.Scotland and northern Ireland so perhaps the thicker cloud and rain
