WEEKEND WEATHER FORECAST
==========================

Issued: 1300 hrs, Thursday 24th May 2018

SATURDAY
---------------
High pressure stays to the north with low pressure to the south of the country. The remnants of a front through mid Ireland and into northern England allows for plenty of broken cloud. Some morning rain over hills, but this tending to fade into the afternoon.
Low pressure in the Bay of Biscay pushes a trough northwest through southwest England and central southern England in the afternoon, reaching southern Wales and then southern Ireland into the evening. A risk of some scattered thundery showers in southeast England during the evening.
Low cloud may always drift onto eastern coasts of Scotland and England during the day.
Winds E 20-25kt (F5-F6) in the east, 20kt (F5) in the west.

Drier to the north with sunny spells, the best in the west. Lower cloud on eastern coasts of Scotland and England.
