6:48 pm
fog. it delayed kick off for a minute or two. it was quite humorous. but wigan went on to win the game. wigan back up top for now and i think the top of super league is shaping up pretty nicely, even though it's early in the season. tanya arnold there. incredible pictures at wigan. during his 21 seasons in the nba, there isn't much that lebronjames hasn't accomplished. the 39—year—old is a four time champion. however, he could be adding something even more impressive. playing it on alongside his son. the son of nba superstar lebronjames has said he will make himself available for the nba draft. paving the way to either playing with her against his dad. can speak to nesta mcgregor. we're

they're playing serbia away. it is still 0—0. england kicked off again sweden at eight p:m.. that's it for sportsday. that is watching. —— thanks for watching. hello there. it's set to turn very windy as we head into the weekend. storm kathleen is racing towards our shores, to bring some disruption, i think, across northern and western parts of the country through the course of saturday. tonight, though, we'll see a band of rain moving ahead of the storm. some of this will be quite heavy across the north and the west of the country, lying across scotland by the end of the night. temperatures lifting here, but very mild further south — 13—15 degrees to start saturday. here it is then
6:56 pm
on the pressure chart, storm kathleen deepening as it passes to the west of ireland. lots of ice bars on the charts indicating windy conditions and it'll be scooping up some very warm air from southern climes right across the uk. but it's southern eastern parts of the country which could be seeing temperatures into the low 20 celsius. so, storm kathleen likely to cause some impacts to northern and western parts of the country, a bit of travel disruption. stay tuned to subsequent weather forecasts or head onto your bbc local radio for the latest updates. so, for saturday, starts off sunny, very windy for many areas. we will see some showers rattling their way eastwards, some are staying dry all together. so, sunny and very windy for many gales inland, but certainly gales around irish sea coast where we could see severe gales — 60—70 mph gusts here at times.
6:57 pm
very mild, with temperatures reaching 17 degrees across northern scotland, but up to 21 degrees or so for eastern england. given some good spells of sunshine as we head through saturday night, it stays very windy, further showers rattling their way from west to east temperature—wise, again, mild for most, but something slightly cooler beginning to push into northern and western areas by the end of the night. so, into sunday, then — we have storm kathleen passing to the northwest of the uk. we will squeeze in the ice of bars across western scotland is here where we'll see the strongest of the winds throughout the day on sunday. again, a chance of severe gales for the outer hebrides, but a windy day across the board. more showers in the mix, i think, and some of these could be heavy with some hail and thunder. could be that the southeast escapes them and stays dry. some good sunny spells again, another mild day to come, but not as warm as what we expect on saturday. could see another spell of wet and windy weather affecting england and wales on monday. however, it stays unsettled through the week with signs of it calming down by the end of the week.
