relatively mild. and this weather front will still for a little while, slow to clear early on thursday morning. reining across the south east and then eventually it will move out into the north sea further behind that not completely dry, there will be showers being dragged in by a north westerly breeze and some of these could be heavy. it is the kind of weather that will chop and change from hour to hour. so a changeable day. a real mixed bag tomorrow. and then good friday, i promised you some decent weather and it looks fine for most of us with some sunshine in northern ireland, scotland and wales but some eastern areas of england could be cloudy for a time. on the whole not bad at around 11, 14 degrees. then the easter weekend we are looking at the easter weekend we are looking at the wind coming from the west, south west self relatively mild. it is not going to be particularly cold, although not desperately warm. probably levelling off through the easter weekend around the

Sunshine but on sunday things start to break down, the increasing chance of some thundery showers. This is what is going on right now, for most of us you can see not a lot of cloud out there. Some cloud across the north of scotland giving some bits and pieces of rain but even here it is largely dry. Further south, patchy cloud, good spells of sunshine, perhaps turning a little bit murky for some eastern coasts of england but the temperature is easily 22 24, may be up to 25 degrees.

They would have been safe if their appeal against a four point deduction for breaking financial rules was upheld. Its been an eventful season for forest with their owner Evangelos Marinakis outspoken in his criticism of referees. It is not fair what is happened and weve had many decisions and then cost a lot of points and it is something that has been repeated and repeated. But will be expected the Premier League and from the referees is to correct these mistakes and we see that this is
