During Friday night and Saturday morning an area of low pressure is forecast to track across the north. It has the potential to bring high impact weather. On its southern flank gales could be widespread and in much of the UK there will be heavy rain. Difficult driving conditions are likely and with many trees now in leaf some could be felled. Through the afternoon the rain should become mainly confined to the north.
Sunday probably starts mainly dry. During the morning a band of rain pushes eastwards and weakens. At the moment computer models suggest it will remain mainly dry in the east.
Forecast confidence for next week is low. There are increasing signs of high pressure coming back into play quite quickly. If that happens settled and possibly warmer conditions could return quickly.
