Most of the UK will be dry today but it turns increasing cloudy. Tomorrow a band of rain becomes patchier as it clears southwards. However, the main weather dish of the weekend is reserved for Sunday as an area of low pressure deepens and probably tracks across the north. It brings the potential for a wet and very windy period.

Friday starts dry across the UK. Locally there has been a touch of frost.
Through the day wet weather affects northern and western Scotland. In the east there could be some patchy rain, but it shouldn't amount to much. Other parts of the UK have a dry day, but early brightness in central and eastern counties is replaced by cloudier skies. Windy strengthen and gales are possible in the far north.
Temperatures range from 7C (45F) in the east to 12C (54F) in the south west. See the rain and lightning radar for the latest view.
Tonight outbreaks of rain become heavier and more persistent in the far north west. Later in the night they move southeastwards across Scotland and into Northern Ireland. In other parts of the north and west there could be some light spells of rain. Central and eastern counties have a dry night.

Very windy in central and northern areas with gales or even severe gales in places.
