WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
Issued: 1200 Thursday 2nd April 2009


SATURDAY:
A cold front passes eastwards on Saturday morning, although pressure is remaining generally high with a ridge building behind it. At the present time the front looks to be most active over Scotland, but to the south it is probably going to be a very weak feature.
It is likely to n a wet morning over much of Scotland, some heavy bursts of rain here and that rain clearing northeast wards during the afternoon.
For northern England and the northern Midlands the rain will be lighter and more patchy, whilst across southeast and southern England it should stay basically dry. The afternoon see brighter weather coming through and some spells of sunshine developing across the whole of England.
For Wales and southwest England there may be some early showers but these will clear and brighter weather will move in. It should then be breezy and dry through the afternoon with sunny spells.
Ireland will be bright and breezy through the morning, and dry, although cloud increase sin the west later.
Winds will be SW 12-16kt (F4-F5) ahead of the front,
becoming W-WNW 15-18kt (F5) behind it.


SUNDAY:
Pressure builds through the south of the country overnight, becoming centred over southeast England by midday on Sunday. At the same time a warm front tracks northeast across western Scotland and western Ireland, the main effect of this being to introduce a more moist airstream to western parts of the UK and Ireland.
For most of the country Sunday should be a fair day. There will be some morning mist or fog patches inland, but these clearing to leave the weather fair with good spells of sunshine.
Increasing cloud through western parts of Ireland and Scotland may bring a few spots of drizzle on the hills. There is also a threat of some low cloud and sea mist drifting into the west of Wales and southwest England.
Winds will be mainly S 3-5kt (F2-F3) near the centre of the high, increasing further north and west to become S-SW 20-25kt (F6) over western Scotland and western Ireland.
