:05:09. > :05:14.Easter weather. Thank you very much, Jon. There is a weak weather front

:05:15. > :05:17.on its way. A sprinkling expected tonight. Clouds were gathering

:05:18. > :05:21.through this afternoon. It will be hit and miss. Nothing too

:05:22. > :05:25.significant, but a damp feel to the end of the night with cloud around.

:05:26. > :05:28.So not as cold as recent nights with temperatures dropping to eight or

:05:29. > :05:31.nine Celsius. We start off fairly overcast. Still a few showers first

:05:32. > :05:36.thing tomorrow morning, but once they have cleared away the cloud

:05:37. > :05:40.will break up, it will brighten up and we will see sunshine, but left

:05:41. > :05:43.with a cool north-westerly breeze so it will feel chilly throughout the

:05:44. > :05:48.afternoon even with the sunshine, we are looking at highs of 12 to 13

:05:49. > :05:52.Celsius. The forecast for Easter day has been problematic and at the

:05:53. > :05:57.moment we're thinking it should be mainly dry and bright during the

:05:58. > :06:00.morning, but the afternoon brings thicker cloud and rain and

:06:01. > :06:01.temperatures 12 to 13 Celsius.
