OVERVIEW
Looking set to be a rather unsettled weekend. Low pressure is going to be in control of things, so it's a showery one. The difficulty is predicting where the showers are mostb likely to be. Keep a close watch on the forecasts as there may be some parts of the country which could actually be fairly pleasant.
FRIDAY
(see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/brack0a.gif)
Low pressure is expected to be to the west of Ireland through Friday. There's colder air coming in aloft, but with the milder southwest winds at the durface, there is definately the potential for some hefty showers. A cold front clearing southeast England in the early afternoon.
So a fairly cloudy start to the day for much of eastern England. OIutbreaks of rain here, although this clearing by early afternoon. Further west there will be sunny spells, and inland areas will be largely dry at first. Showers soon developing though, and these may become heavy and thundery at times into the afternoon. The showers may merge into more persistent rain (troughs) and these moving eastwards through ireland and the UK in the afternoon.
Winds will be mainly SW 12-16kt (F4), but nearer a S 12kt (F3-F4) in western Scotland.
SATURDAY
(see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/brack1a.gif)
The low pressure west of Irelands through Saturday. The cold air aloft will be sufficient to allow heavy showers to form again in the afternoon.
Western coasts are likely to have showers in the early morning, but inland arreas should be dry at first. However, with such instability the showers will get going quickly through the day, and these could become widespread and thundery. I'm favouring southern Scotland, north & western England, the Midlands, Wales and Ireland to have the heaviest showers, although just about anywhere could catch a few.
More persistent rain into western Ireland later, all associated with an occluded front.
Winds mainly S-SW 12-17kt (F4), but 16-20kt (F5) southern Irish Sea and Cornwall, S 18-24kt (F5-F6) over southern Ireland.
SUNDAY
(see http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/brack2a.gif)
Some differences between the models for Sunday. I'm favouring the Met Office idea of a low centred over Northern ireland. Troughs rotating around the low bringing bands of showers.
Widespread showers look likely throughout Sunday. The showers are likely to be heavy at times, with most of them across western and northern parts of the country. The showers may merge to more persistent rain as the troughs move through, with western Ireland especially prone to persistent rain.
Watch the forecast carefully for Sunday as the details may well change. It's hard to tell where the showers will be less frequent just now.
Winds SE 14-18kt (F4 occ F5) over Scotland and northern England, SW 14-18kt (F4-F5) for Wales and western England, mainly W 15-22kt (F5-F6) over southern I.reland
