WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
==========================
Issued: 1500 Thursday 12th July 2007


FRIDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn301.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+36.gif )
Low pressure looks set to move into southern Ireland on Friday morning, pushing some very warm, moist Atlantic air northwards through Ireland, Wales and much of England. The low tracks northeast through Ireland during the day, to be off southwest Scotland by the evening. A weakening occlusion over the far north of Scotland in the morning, will disperse.
Strong winds and plenty of cloud and rain affecting much of Ireland, Wales and the south of England on Friday morning. This is going to be tracking northwards with a risk of some heavy rain and thunderstorms in places. The rain through more eastern parts of England should be lighter and patchier. Rain into northern England through the afternoon, with the heavier rain reaching southern Scotland in the evening. The western sides of the country could be really wet on Friday.
For Scotland expect some brighter skies at first, although cloud and a few spots of drizzle associated with the occlusion to the far north.
Winds becoming cyclonic 30-40kt (F7-F8) in the west, through the Irish Sea and 20-30kt (F5-F6) inland over Scotland and all but the far southeast of England.

SATURDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn601.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+54.gif )
The area of low pressure passing through Scotland on Saturday morning, as pressure slowly rises through England, Wales and Ireland.
So, the low pressure taking it's wind and rain with it, across much of central and northern Scotland in the morning, not clearing the far north of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland until evening.
Staying breezy for northern England, although drier and brighter, and certainly less muggy, with sunny spells and mainly dry conditions.
England, Wales and southern England should be drier too, with some good spells of sunshine. However, there are a couple of exceptions to this:
1. The far southeast, through Kent and East Sussex may suffer with a hang back of cloud and some rain until mid--afternoon, this area affecting much of the northern coasts of France, with the Channel possibly rather murky in fog patches and rain, some of it heavy.
2. Southwest England and so0uthwest Wales could hold onto low cloud, mist and some fog patches at times.
Winds mainly SW 5-10kt (F2-F3) in the south, although sea breezes on coasts. Nearer SW-W 20-30kt (F5-F6) over northern England and Scotland, possibly to 30-35kt (F7-F8) in southern Scotland for a time.

SUNDAY ( see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn841.png and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+78.gif )
A complex area of low pressure starting to develop in the Bay of Biscay will push a warm front northwards to be through southern England in the afternoon. A slack pressure flow elsewhere.
Outbreaks of rain and lots of cloud associated with the warm front affecting East Anglia and much of southern England as well as northern France.
Elsewhere there will be some sunny spells through the morning but a risk of some sharp, possibly thundery showers affecting the Pennines, central Scotland and central parts of Ireland.
Winds mainly E 5-10 (F3) in the south, variable 2-5kt (F1-F2) elsewhere, although sea breezes are expected anywhere.
