WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
Issued: 1200 Thursday 27th March 2008
FRIDAY:
Low pressure to the west of Scotland at midday on Friday. A series of fronts will be pushing eastwards, with a showery, blustery westerly flow following behind. The flow will be strong to gale force, being increased due to a ridge of high pressure building southwest of Biscay.
Heavy rain associated with the fronts moving east in the morning, eventually clearing eastern England during the afternoon. More showery weather then follows from the west, with those showers heavy and persistent as well as thundery through Ireland, Wales and western Scotland in the morning, then spreading eastwards through the afternoon.
Places protected from the westerly flow, such as the Midlands and northeast England may see less showers.
Winds will be S-SW 25-30kt (F6-F7) ahead of the fronts with gusts to F8. Becoming W 25-30 gust 40kt (F6-F7 gust F8) behind the fronts.
SATURDAY:
A complex area of low pressure affecting the north and west of the British Isles and Ireland, with a broad southwest flow over much of England and Wales. The shallow area of low pressure over southern Ireland will be moving eastwards, with the fronts pushing eastwards too probably reaching Wales and southern England by the evening.
Heavy periods of rain cross Ireland, northern and western Scotland in the morning. The heavy rain moving east in the afternoon, crossing Wales, southwest England, northwest England, southwest England and Northern Ireland.
Mainly dry over England and Wales, although always a fair amount of cloud around, especially in the west.
More eastern parts of Scotland should be drier, although some outbreaks of rain may move in here in the afternoon.
A windy day everywhere, mainly S-SW 20-26kt (F6) over England and Wales, increasing as the low pressure arrives. Cyclonic 20-25kt gust 35kt (F6 gust F8) over Ireland as the shallow low moves east. Mainly SW 20-30kt gust 45kt (F6-F7 gust F9) over Scotland, the strongest winds in the north.
SUNDAY:
Low pressure centred to the north of Scotland, with all parts of the British Isles and Ireland then under the influence of the area of low pressure, showery troughs rotating around it.
A fairly bright and showery day with some heavy showers for the north and west of Scotland, some of them thundery at times. Further showers for England, Wales and Ireland, a few of them heavy in the morning.
There is a risk of some more persistent, rain crossing southern coasts of England later in the day, although you should treat this forecast with caution.
Winds will be mainly SW 15-20kt (F4-F5) perhaps becoming variable 10-14kt (F3-F4) later.
