brief weather window, but not for long. that dry spell for many today, replaced by wetter weather over the weekend particularly tomorrow, then showers follow, some of the wettest weather perhaps wales and the southwest. that s where the met office have won it out for further concerns for flooding but ahead of that at least we ve had drier weather, hazy sunshine for the rest of the day but it time the rain is gathering, light and patchy to start with but you can see waiting in the wings something more significant. it s still relatively mild, average is around 6 7 this time of year and temperatures won t drop below much of that tonight but the rain, once it arrives, its stock for 6 10 hours. it looks set to clear from northern ireland later in the night, temperatures dip back to 7 degrees but for most it sits a mild night and rather grey and dreary start to our saturday. it might be a while before the rain reaches the far south east and east anglia but for most of us if it s no
