A band of rain pushes in from the west today, but in central and eastern areas it remains dry. Tomorrow the rain slowly clears eastwards. Then it is all eyes to the west on Sunday as a rapidly deepening area of low pressure approaches. It brings the potential for windy conditions in much of the UK and in the north west it may be stormy, with some computer models forecasting gusts of over 80mph.
