:00:09. > :00:12.Hello, rain for some of us today although it won't make much of a
:00:13. > :00:17.dent in the dry winter so far across much of the UK. A few threatening
:00:18. > :00:20.clouds in Cumbria but more than a threat of rain across the pond for
:00:21. > :00:24.Friday. The wettest weather system of the season is over heading into
:00:25. > :00:29.California, and there have been a few, with copious amounts of rain
:00:30. > :00:33.and lots of mountain snow. Record-breaking wet winter so far in
:00:34. > :00:37.parts of California. In Los Angeles this might be conservative, 50-100
:00:38. > :00:42.millimetres of rain in a short space of time. A deluge on the way. This
:00:43. > :00:47.has made a bit of a dent in the drought in California though it is
:00:48. > :00:50.still there in some parts. Our rain isn't in that league, but where it

:01:02. > :01:05.North-east England and Scotland with clearer skies and some fog patches

:01:30. > :01:32.Friday. That's most noticeable in the northern half of the UK where it
:01:33. > :01:38.was quite blustery today. It's one of those days where if you start
:01:39. > :01:42.with sunshine, it would tend to cloud over. If you start with thick
:01:43. > :01:46.cloud it may start to brighten up a bit. A lot of dry weather around the
:01:47. > :01:48.western parts of the UK, as a weather front approaches, some
:01:49. > :01:54.scattered outbreaks of rain moving in later in the day. Around 9-11dC

:02:11. > :02:13.Some rain trying to move south, towards the hills of north-west
:02:14. > :02:19.England and Wales. North of that it will be mainly dry. On Sunday, more
:02:20. > :02:22.breezy across the board. Still wet towards the hills of north-west
:02:23. > :02:27.Scotland. A lot of cloud in the West, some brighter breaks in the
