of 11. Not too bad for the forthcoming weekend. Here is Nick

Miller forthcoming weekend. Here is Nick

Miller with a resume of the National weather picture.

Hello, rain for some of us today although it won't make much of a

dent in the dry winter so far across much of the UK. A few threatening

clouds in Cumbria but more than a threat of rain across the pond for

Friday. The wettest weather system of the season is over heading into

California, and there have been a few, with copious amounts of rain

and lots of mountain snow. Record-breaking wet winter so far in

parts of California. In Los Angeles this might be conservative, 50-100

millimetres of rain in a short space of time. A deluge on the way. This

has made a bit of a dent in the drought in California though it is

still there in some parts. Our rain isn't in that league, but where it

all the same in south-east England, the Midlands, Wales, north-west

England and Northern Ireland but increasingly light and patchy

overnight. South-west England, some fog patches coming and going.

North-east England and Scotland with clearer skies and some fog patches

here as well. Also a touch of frost around. They're in mind to buy in

Scotland, these fog patches could be on the dense side. There could be

some fog patches in the central belt as well. North-west England, quite

dampened Risley, maybe a few spots and Northern Ireland, and through

this thick clouds on from the Midlands into south-east England, a

few fog patches into south-west England and lighter winds for

Friday. That's most noticeable in the northern half of the UK where it

was quite blustery today. It's one of those days where if you start

with sunshine, it would tend to cloud over. If you start with thick

cloud it may start to brighten up a bit. A lot of dry weather around the

western parts of the UK, as a weather front approaches, some

scattered outbreaks of rain moving in later in the day. Around 9-11dC

in those light winds. A risk of a few fog patches developing in

south-west England on Saturday. This weather front giving some outbreaks

of rain in the West but more specifically in western Scotland on

Saturday. A stronger wind in the northern half of the UK on Saturday.

Some rain trying to move south, towards the hills of north-west

England and Wales. North of that it will be mainly dry. On Sunday, more

breezy across the board. Still wet towards the hills of north-west

Scotland. A lot of cloud in the West, some brighter breaks in the

east and it smiled. On Monday some places may get

From this point, it's band versus band.
