:07:01. > :07:04.tone for the weekend. More cloud around and feeling less cold than it
:07:05. > :07:08.has week. At times, it will be some patchy drizzle around but, for the
:07:09. > :07:12.most part, staying dry. The same can't be said for tonight. Heavy
:07:13. > :07:17.rain at times, heralding some really mild air. Look at these
:07:18. > :07:24.temperatures. Overnight lows, if you can call it that, of 5-6 C. As we
:07:25. > :07:28.start the day for Saturday, four Celsius. A ridge of high pressure
:07:29. > :07:30.giving us some cloud, south-westerly winds. By the afternoon, height of
:07:31. > :07:41.nine Celsius. Good evening. The weather has been

:07:51. > :07:54.the sunset, captured in Dundee. Some clear spells as we headed through

:07:58. > :08:02.weekend, wiki with a similar theme. Much milder than it has been. A lot
:08:03. > :08:06.of cloud around in general, but for most of us think. Dry. Not dry
:08:07. > :08:08.everywhere at the moment, particularly across central and
:08:09. > :08:12.southern parts of England and Wales. We have a lot of cloud, bringing
:08:13. > :08:17.outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. The patchy rain will ease away
:08:18. > :08:20.slowly towards the south through tonight and further north across the
:08:21. > :08:25.country, drier conditions. Wherever you are, it's pretty cloudy. Mostly
:08:26. > :08:28.frost free to start the weekend, but there could be frost across the
:08:29. > :08:30.central glens of Scotland.
