"The rain continues to work its way in through the afternoon and evening.
"We have warnings in force for parts of Wales, south west England, northern Ireland and across parts of Scotland too.
"That rain continues its way towards the east coast where it'll reach later in the evening.
"But for many Friday evening's rush hour isn't going to be very pleasant. It'll be wet, blustery, a lot spray and water on the roads.
"The winds are likely to reach 40mph, maybe 50mph inland but at the coasts we could see gusts of 60mph, accompanied by high waves - that could bring some coastal flooding.
"Through the course of Friday evening that weather tracks its way into north-east Scotland, but once that band has cleared into the North Sea, we're then left with some sunshine and a whole host of showers.
"With showers, they'll come and go because of the brisk wind - although the winds on Saturday won't be as lively as they will be on Friday.
"It's going to be a blustery, boisterous weekend. Temperatures will be 10 to 14 degrees, so not cold, and more sunshine and showers to come on Sunday."
The weekend is set for hail and thunder while showers will most likely batter the south and west of the country.
Sunday will stay unsettled and breezy with showers or some longer spells, particularly in the west and south.
The best of any sunshine will be in the north and east with temperatures staying mild.
