Welcome to the long weekend! Yes, a Bank Holiday weekend but of course the weather isn't completely behaving itself as low pressure and its associated frontal system slowly makes it way northwards. This front will then linger across more northern regions of the UK for much of the rest of the weekend to bring further showers with another system moving into southern regions tomorrow to keep the rather changeable theme going.
There's a three-way split across the country this morning with the far north and northwest of Scotland dawning mainly fine and clear along with southern and south-eastern regions of England and south Wales. For many of these areas it will then be a mostly dry day with some good spells of sunshine although the odd shower may break out later. It is in these sunnier regions that temperatures will be at their highest with maximums into the high teens and feeling pleasant in the sunshine and with light winds.
Elsewhere and it's a largely cloudy story with occasional outbreaks of rain and drizzle continuing to circulate around that area of low pressure as it drifts slowly north. There will be some heavier bursts in places at times, but also some drier intervals too and the damp weather will continue to slowly edge north allowing brighter conditions to develop across southern Ireland, more of Wales and the Midlands. With the cloud it will be cooler in these areas with temperatures in the low-mid teens at best.
That damp weather continues to drift a little further north and west tonight but will become more patchy as it does so but for many places it becomes mainly dry, if rather misty with some fog and low cloud forming with southern regions turning rather chilly. Later in the night some showery rain may arrive across the far south and southwest of England and this could affect southern counties tomorrow otherwise for many places skies will tend to brighten with some warm sunny spells developing before a scattering of showers break out.
