New from the Met Office - 'Weather Patterns' allows you to watch the weather patterns evolve over the next 48 hours and see how the jet stream influences high and low pressure and what this means for the UK's weather. The screen is split into four panels. The top left shows isobars and weather fronts. On the bottom left you'll find the wind and air temperature at the surface. The bottom right shows the jet stream and the temperature at 5000 feet above the ground. On the top right you'll see how all of this impacts the cloud, rain and snow over the UK. During the next 48 hours, the UK's weather continues to be influenced by an active jet stream over the North Atlantic. There'll be further blustery showers during Friday night, Saturday and into Sunday - along with strong winds. However, an amplification of the jet stream over the Atlantic during the weekend will eventually force colder but clearer Arctic weather southwards across all parts later on Sunday. To ensure you have the most up to date weather information, check the forecast on www.metoffice.gov.uk or via the Met Office app.
