Hello again,
The jet stream continues to be the most relevant element of the weather affecting the British Isles at the moment. It's really hard to find charts showing where the jet stream is; meteorologists tend to analyse it from 50mb and 200mb charts.
However there is a forecast jet stream animation for Europe available at

Huge address I know, but well worth a look.
I have also updated Weatherweb.tv and you can now go to http://www.weatherweb.tv to view a great selection of short, free videos about various weather topics...enjoy!
Have a good weekend,
Simon
WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
Issued: 1000 Thursday 23rd July 2009
SATURDAY
A ridge of high pressure extends through the British Isles and Ireland today. This will certainly be a welcome relief following the unsettled weather of the past few days However, don't get the party started just yet because the jet stream is staying south of the country and that means that the unsettled theme is set to continue.
So the message is 'make the most of Saturday' as that ridge builds through. There will be some broken cloud around in the morning, but this really is not going to be threatening things to much. There will be some god spells of sunshine over most of the country, and apart from an isolated shower developing over the mountains of Wales and northern England as well as Scotland, the day should be staying dry.
High and medium level cloud may increase from the west later in the day, making the sunshine more hazy.
Winds will be mainly W'ly 8-12kt (F4) becoming more SW'ly through more western areas later in the day.

SUNDAY
A different story for Sunday as low pressure is to the west of Scotland. This is going to be pushing an occluded front eastwards. The front is probably weakening as it heads east and so northern and western areas are likely to bear the brunt of it. More eastern areas generally drier, although I cannot rule out the threat of some showery rain.
Overall the morning will be dry through most of southeast England, the Midlands and northeast England. There will be some good spells of sunshine here. the west the morning is going to be wet with rain having already arrived. The rain could be heavy at times over western parts of Scotland, Wales and southwest England, the winds increasing here too.
The rain will be crossing the rest of Scotland, northern England and into the Midlands and central southern England in the afternoon. I suspect that parts of East Anglia and the far southeast may stay dry until evening.
Drier weather follows to the west of Scotland, Wales and western England for a time with sunny spells, but then blustery showers may move in here later.
Winds are S-SW 5-8kt (F3) in the southeast at first, but increasing through the day. Mainly S 20-30kt (F5-F6) over western areas and turning more SW in the southwest later. A risk of SE 28-35kt (F7-F8) for western Scotland.
