A fair weekend, turning more mixed middle of next week

High pressure builds to bring a fair few days through the weekend and into the early stages of the new week. However, low pressure then develops to the west into the middle stages of next week bringing rain here. More eastern and southern areas seeing less rain, and then tending to turn drier again later in the week as higher pressure returns.
