WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
Issued: 1100 Thursday 26th February 2009
SATURDAY:
A ridge of high pressure extends through most of the British Isles and Ireland through today, ahead of a deepening low developing to the west of Scotland. The whole area us in a broad warm sector, brought about by us being between the warm front to the east and the cold front to the west. That cold front is going to be making some eastwards progress through the day, probably reaching eastern Ireland by evening.
For most it will be a fairly cloudy start to the day. There will be some drizzle or patchy light rain around the north and west coasts of Scotland as well as western Ireland. Some patchy drizzle to may affect parts of the Irish Sea. These areas are going to be misty. Little change is expected here through the day, although thicker cloud may well bring some showery rain into the west of Scotland and through western Ireland through the afternoon.
For much of England, away from the northwest, the cloud is going to be breaking and some good sunny spells will be developing. The warm front to the south signifying warmer air moving in from the Continent.
Winds will be mainly SW 5-12kt (F3-F4) in the south, nearer SW 15-20 (F5) in Scotland and Ireland.
SUNDAY:
The cold front will be passing eastwards through the country during the night, with low pressure remaining to the northeast of Scotland. A brisk, drier, west-north-westerly flow covers all areas. The air mass will be unstable enough to produce showers for the north and west of Scotland as well as much of northern and western Ireland.
For southeast and the Midlands there will be some cloud and patchy rain in the morning, associated with the cold front. This will be clearing and then the much brighter weather, which will be through the rest of the country from daybreak will reach all areas.
Showers will be affecting the north and west of Ireland, a few of them heavy at times, but the east and south of the countries should be staying dry and bright.
A fair but cooler afternoon for many of us with some very pleasant spells of sunshine.
Winds will be W 12-15 (F4) ahead of the cold front, then W-WNW 12-15kt (F4) behind it, becoming WNW 15-20kt (F5) over northern England and Ireland as well as southern Scotland but perhaps W 25-30kt (F6-F7) for northern Scotland.
