A disappointing start to the weekend with a lot of cloud, mist and rain around across most of the country. However, brighter conditions now coming into the southwest will soon make their way across many central and southern areas, but the rain will hang around across parts of Scotland for much of the day.
The culprit is a fairly deep area of low pressure that's moving north-eastwards close to northwest Britain over the next 24 hours or so. This system will also bring some pretty strong winds to some north-western areas, with gales or severe gales likely for a time. The main concern will be the rainfall though, especially over those eastern areas of Scotland where so much rain fell during the week. All this is covered in our Severe Weather Warning.
Bright and breezy weather will reach much of Ireland, England and Wales this afternoon, with a scattering of showers, but for Northern Ireland and Scotland, further rain is likely and this will be on the heavy side too. This rain continues into tonight, with the heaviest and most persistent rain expected over southwest Scotland by this stage. Further south, it will be a breezy night with clear spells, and one or two showers around.
Sunday looks like being another breezy day in most places, with sunny spells and a few showers in the south whilst Scotland sees further outbreaks of rain from time to time, although these should begin to ease with time.
DON'T FORGET! British Summer Time (BST) ends tonight at 2am, and clocks go back 1 hour as we go back into Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) - an extra hour's sleep for many of us!
