WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
==========================
Issued: 0700 Thursday 19th July 2007

FRIDAY ( see http://www.weatherweb.net/aviations/charts/AAH.htm and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+36.gif )
Low pressure centred over Germany at midday, spawns another low over southeast England on Friday afternoon. A thundery series of fronts moves northwards with the low, through the Midlands and eastern England. High pressure to the north of Scotland remains virtually stationary, as a weak occluded front through southern Scotland loses it's identity.
Heavy, thundery rain moving through Wales, the Midlands, East Anglia and South east England Friday morning. This pushing into Yorkshire and Lancashire in the afternoon, but remaining through Wales and most of the Midlands into the afternoon. The far south of England should become drier, after a wet night.
For Ireland there will be rain or showers, heaviest and most persistent in the east. Scotland will have some patchy rain in the south, especially in the morning, but with high pressure to the north it should be a beautiful day for northern Scotland, Shetland and Orkney.
Winds mainly NE-E 15-20kt (F4-F5) but perhaps 20-30kt (F6 gust F7) on the coasts of East Anglia. NE 10-5kt (F3-F4 for northern Scotland.
Perhaps W-WNW 15-25kt (F4-F6) along southern coasts of England for a time.

SATURDAY ( see http://www.weatherweb.net/aviations/charts/AAL.htm and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+60.gif )
The area of low pressure becomes complex through the British Isles and Ireland during Saturday, with high pressure remaining to the north of Scotland.
Another wet day through southern Ireland, north Wales and northern England as well as parts of the northern Midlands, although not as wet as Friday.
For southern England and the south of Wales there will be some showers, these fairly well scattered though, and it is likely to be staying rather cloudy although the extreme southwest may become brighter later.
Rain is likely through much of eastern and southern Scotland, although the west and north should stay drier and brighter with some sunny spells.
Winds will be mainly SW 10-18kt (F3-F5) through the south, NE 12-20kt (F4-F5) over the north, and perhaps 25kt (F6) in northern Scotland.

SUNDAY ( see http://www.weatherweb.net/aviations/charts/AAP.htm and http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/bracknell+84.gif )
Discrepancies in the models over what happens to the situation on Sunday. Low pressure is still going to be in control, and by then probably won't be as active.
I suspect that for most places the morning will be rather cloudy. There will be some light rain around, mainly along eastern coasts and also through northern and eastern England. Patchy rain too for parts of Ireland and perhaps the west coasts of Wales and southwest England.
A gradual brightening up process taking place into the afternoon, although if the sun does come out showers will be triggered. There could be some thicker cloud and patchy rain for southwest England, this also running through the Channel and along southern coasts of England.
I suspect the focus for the heaviest showers will be over the Pennines, central Ireland and Scottish Mountains.
Winds very variable, but mainly S-SW 10-15kt (F3-F4) in the south, cyclonic 10-20kt (F3-F5) in the north.
