00:00Temperatures tumbling to start the weekend. Across the south, there'll be a fairly extensive
00:04frost. Further north, not quite as cold. A bit more of a breeze here and some outbreaks
00:10of rain. Certainly in western Scotland, some showery rain continuing. The odd shower for
00:14north Wales, north-west England, maybe for Northern Ireland. But most places will be
00:19dry. The lighter winds in the south, allowing those temperatures to plummet. A fairly extensive
00:23frost over the Midlands, Wales, southern counties and eastern counties of England will get down
00:29to minus three, minus four, even in some towns and cities. And rural spots, minus five, minus six
00:34Celsius to start the weekend. Most towns and cities across the northern half of the UK, just about
00:38above freezing. But rural spots still could see a frost. And wherever you are, still a pretty cold
00:44start to Saturday morning. But again, plenty of sunshine across the south. It'll take a while.
00:48The sun doesn't come up till after seven. So it'll take a while for that frost to melt. But then
00:52lots
00:52of sunshine over the Midlands and eastern England. A bit more cloud for the south and west. Certainly
00:57a bit more of a breeze blowing across southwest England, the west coast of Wales. Some outbreaks
01:02of rain still across the far southwest of Scotland. They might just drift in towards the borders and up
01:07towards Edinburgh come the afternoon. So the old shower possible here. Things certainly turning soggy
01:12over the far north. Outbreaks of rain for the Northern Isles and the Western Isles by lunchtime
01:17and continuing into the afternoon. Could be quite heavy and quite windy here. Quite gusty conditions.
01:22That breeze in the west also means it'll slightly bring milder air in. So temperatures could get
01:28to double figures around some of the coast of England and Wales. But in the sunniest skies
01:32with the lightest winds further east, it'll be another pretty chilly day. Seven, eight degrees
01:36at best. But you will have the sunshine here. Dry and bright for the most part across Northern
01:41Ireland. But here too, the wind's picking up and some outbreaks of rain trickling in as we head
01:45into the evening time. So things turning a bit damp here. Certainly things turning soggy through Saturday
01:50night over Scotland. Chiefly of rain at this stage, but some quite heavy bursts of rain. Notice those
01:55brighter colours as we head into Sunday that could start to turn a little wintry. But yes, rain through
02:01Saturday night here and pushing into western parts of England and Wales. But still much of central and
02:07eastern England dry. But with more breeze, with more cloud, it won't be as cold. Certainly, yes, still some
02:13pockets of frost possible over eastern England. But generally, a much milder night, certainly in the
02:18south and the west. But there will be some wet weather coming in here as well. Some useful rain,
02:23of course, across the south. It could be quite heavy at times. These bands of rain moving in slowly
02:28northwards across England and Wales. Meanwhile, across Scotland, the rain is sinking south and with
02:33the colder air turning to snow. Initially over the hills, but as we go into Sunday afternoon, even at
02:38low levels across the far north through Caithnest, Sutherland, there could be some snow
02:42coming down here. So that is something we need to keep a close eye on. The winds will be picking
02:46up
02:46as well. So that combination of wind and snow over some of the higher routes, making for some pretty
02:50nasty travelling conditions later on on Sunday. Through the central belt further south, rain will
02:56be seen, but some of that could be on the heavy side. As could the showers coming in across England
03:00and Wales, blown in by a fairly brisk wind. But it is turning milder. Sunday's temperatures are much
03:06higher than Saturday's temperatures, potentially getting into the teens across the south. But the colder air
03:10is returning to northern parts of Scotland. And that may well start to win out a little
03:15further as we head into next week. Next week's weather looks quite intriguing. So you want to
