:02:26. > :02:28.If we do our shows and stuff, if the lights break,
:02:29. > :02:30.we won't have the lights for our productions

:09:09. > :09:13.change at the end of this week. We start to see some thicker cloud and
:09:14. > :09:18.potentially outbreaks of rain. Chilly nights ahead of us. It is
:09:19. > :09:23.this week and the weekend. this week and the weekend.
:09:24. > :09:30.Temperatures start to come up so we hold onto this warmth but we do ten
:09:31. > :09:33.more unsettled. High-pressure covering most of the United Kingdom.
:09:34. > :09:40.After Wednesday, this area of low pressure creeps up and introduces
:09:41. > :09:45.more cloud, potentially showers on Thursday and more persistent rain on
:09:46. > :09:49.Friday. Into the weekend with south-west winds, so we will keep
:09:50. > :09:55.these temperatures but a lot more unsettled. And the potential for
:09:56. > :10:00.rain. Overnight it is already chilly and night-time temperatures will get
:10:01. > :10:05.down to four or 5 degrees. Not quite cold enough for a touch of frost but
:10:06. > :10:11.a cold start tomorrow, but also a fine one. More cloud creeping in
:10:12. > :10:16.from the east and every now and then, it will blot out the sunshine.
:10:17. > :10:20.But the cloud will break up into the afternoon and then we see some good
:10:21. > :10:28.temperatures, 16, possibly 17 degrees again. Along the coast it is
:10:29. > :10:34.cooler at 14 or 15. Towards the end of the week, more cloud on Thursday
:10:35. > :10:39.that has the potential to produce showers but by Friday we see more
:10:40. > :10:44.persistent rain and that may well be with us into the weekend. Generally
:10:45. > :10:51.more unsettled, also the breeze picking up but it does stay quite
:10:52. > :10:57.mild. That is it from us for the moment. Join us tomorrow morning
:10:58. > :11:02.from 6:25am. From the late team, good night.
:11:03. > :11:08.will become drier and feel warm. Now the National forecast.
:11:09. > :11:17.Good evening. A quiet day on the weather front but we still managed
:11:18. > :11:21.to have some huge contrasts in the weather. This was a beautiful
:11:22. > :11:29.picture from Cumbria, blue skies and crystal clear blue skies in Argyll
:11:30. > :11:33.and Bute but closer to the north coast, it sends shivers down your
:11:34. > :11:39.spine! Chilly and cloudy all along that cost this bank of cloud that
:11:40. > :11:44.sliced the country in half, cool and cloudy to the east and to the West
:11:45. > :11:49.had sunshine. But it still been dry and it will stay that way for most
:11:50. > :11:54.of the week. As we get into Friday, there is some rain on the way. In
:11:55. > :11:58.the short-term, not much happening in the next few hours, quite a bit
:11:59. > :12:02.of cloud in most of England and Wales but many northern and western
:12:03. > :12:04.parts, the stars are out. Temperatures not
