Much of southern Britain will have extensive low cloud tonight with patchy hill fog affecting roads over any high ground. There will also be outbreaks of generally light rain, although over the Midlands the rain may become heavier for a time during the late evening.

Tomorrow: England and Wales will have a generally dull start to the day with outbreaks of light rain, but western areas should slowly brighten from the west during the morning with a few scattered showers developing, and by the afternoon the duller weather should be confined to the southeast.

Outlook: The showers will continue over northern Britain during the weekend, but southern districts will become drier with the threat of overnight fog patches developing.
