WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
==========================
Issued: 1400 Thursday 4th January 2006
FRIDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn301.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+36.gif )
Low pressure south of Iceland with a broad west to southwest flow through the UK and Ireland. A series of fronts are going to be passing eastwards, although they aren't looking particularly active, except for Scotland.
Here there could be some heavy rain early on. This clears east to be replaced by heavy showers. The showers will be mixed with blustery winds, most of these affecting western coasts with gusts to gale force. Similar conditions for Ireland.
Across England and Wales rain will be clearing slowly east in the morning, with brighter weather following into northern England and Wales by midday, then across the Midlands in the afternoon, eventually reaching the southeast by dark. Expect outbreaks of rain in the cloudier skies, most of them fairly light and showery. Showers as the brighter conditions follow from the west.
Winds will be generally SW 15-20kt (F4-F5) in the warm sector over SE England, becoming mainly W 20-25kt (F5) behind the cold front, but 25-30 gust 40kt (F6-F8) over western Ireland and western Scotland.
SATURDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn541.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+60.gif )
An disturbed southwesterly flow across the whole of the UK and Ireland through Saturday. A shallow low is going to be spreading northeastwards over southern England during the day. Showery troughs passing eastwards over Scotland, Ireland and northern England.
For southern parts of England there will be heavy rain associated with the shallow low. This moving northeastwards across the Midlands and East Anglia during the course of the day.
Elsewhere there will be sunny spells and showers, most of the showers affecting western coastal areas, with heavy periods of rain across western Scotland and western Ireland.
Eastern coasts of England and Scotland may well be a little drier with sunny spells and only scattered showers.
Winds generally SW'ly. 12-15kt (F3-F4) in the Channel and across southern England, although if the low moves a few miles further north gales could occur. 15-25kt (F4-F5 occ F6) over northern and western parts of the UK.
SUNDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn781.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+84.gif )
Another disturbed day with low pressure swinging south to the southwest of Ireland. The effect of this will be to back the flow into the southwest, with a warm front pushing northwards overnight, reaching southern Scotland by early Sunday. A strong southwest flow then affecting all areas.
Lots of cloud and drizzle around through the day for many. There is a threat of heavy showers moving into Ireland and the west of the UK through the course of the day. Eastern parts of the UK, although breezy, may well become a little brighter and have less showers, at least until overnight.
Winds SW 25 gust 40kt (F6-F8) perhaps reaching 35 gust 55kt (F9 gust F12) in the west of Wales, SW England and southern Ireland during the day.
