Overview

• Met Office forecasters say a deep low linked to ex‑Hurricane Erin will develop near the UK on Saturday and track northeast, bringing widespread rain of 10–20mm, higher totals over western hills, and coastal gusts that could top 50 mph.
• Yellow warnings were issued for parts of southern England and south Wales, with downpours prompting a flood alert for the Rivers Cray and Shuttle and local tallies including 63mm at Heligan Gardens in Cornwall and 56mm at Mount Batten in Devon.
• Saturday is expected to be the wettest and windiest day before brighter intervals return with blustery, thundery showers Sunday and Monday, and forecasters caution that a changeable pattern is likely to persist into early September.
• In the U.S. Northeast, a Friday cold front brings spotty showers or a storm before high pressure settles in for a fall‑like holiday weekend, with sunny skies, low humidity and highs mainly in the 70s from New York City to New England.
• Regional U.S. outlooks show Maryland, Southeast Michigan and parts of the Midwest enjoying dry, pleasant conditions through Labor Day, with the next chance of more widespread rain returning by mid to late next week.
