But from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. Hello again. Our weather is set to turn a little bit milder over the next few days, quieting down in many respects. But before we get there, yesterday we had some really big thunderstorms hanging around. This one brought hail in west hampsted. Thanks to our Weather Watcher for sending that picture in. You can see the extent of the showers as they have worked in. The showers have tended to die away overnight. Just one or two left over working towards central, southern england. By and large, today we are looking at quite a cloudy Weather Picture for many of us. And there will be some showers knocking around as well. Ok, lets take a look at how the weather starts off in the morning. Quite a lot of cloud around. Some showers really from the word go across North Western areas. Towards Southern Parts of england and wales, this is where the clearest weather will be. And certainly a cold start to the day. Were looking at some patches of frost around. Probably the lowest temperatures at 3 or so. A cold and frosty start to the morning. It should be reasonably bright. Brightness will not last, though. Quite quickly, we will see an area of cloud come down from the north. That will tend to trap cold air at the surface. Its one of those days where temperatures will be slow to rise. Northern england, northern ireland, scotland, a cloudy start to the day. Occasional brighter spells. But already a few showers from the word go. Quite breezy in Northern Scotland as well. Through the rest of the day, the showers that are really associated with weak Weather Fronts will go southwards. It will turn cloudier and cloudier as the day goes by. And eventually we will start to see those showers working in across east anglia and the east of england. Late in the day, the far north of england will brighten up. Temperatures generally about 11 degrees for many of us. Now, looking at the Weather Picture through the night time, and those showers will continue to go southwards. Quite a bit of cloud initially. Then the showers fade away and skies clear in the second half of the night. And again that will allow things to get chilly. There will be some pockets of frost developing by the time we get to friday morning across parts of scotland and the far north of england in the countryside. Heres fridays Weather Picture. Generally a quiet weather day. Again, were looking at a few showers. Most in eastern parts of scotland, eastern england. But for many of us, its a dry and bright kind of day with cloud coming and going through the day. Those temperatures will be rising a little bit. So, highs between 11 and 14 degrees. Feeling a little bit more pleasant. And that trend i think goes on into the first part of the weekend. Saturday, by and large a dry day with sunny spells. Isolated showers possible in western areas. But for most of us a quiet Weather Picture. Temperatures continuing to rise. 12 15 degrees. Not bad for the start of the weekend. And thats your weather.
