The Met Office text forecast seems to suggest continuous rain
throughout the weekend,except perhaps Saturday morning.

However during the majority of daylight hours on Saturday, the front
seems a bit far away and for the Southampton area my own assessment
based on the weather charts would be cloudy but dry.

Then by Sunday 1300, the cold front has cleared to what looks like
some extreme returning form of a Pm airmass, suggesting a showery
afternoon.

The persistent rain I would guess would be focused on the hours of
darkness Saturday into Sunday morning, say between 1900 BST on
Saturday to 1200 BST on Sunday by the looks of the Met Office charts.

Is this a reasonable assessment? Hope so as I do want to get out this
weekend...

Where and when did you get that forecast from? It was very different
from the forecast for London and the SE that I saw.

So what actually happened here (Southampton): was actually dry from
about 1200 BST to after dark yesterday, but gloomy and cold with
stratus cloud so not terribly inspiring to go out. Night time was
extremely windy but (given my bedroom window faces northeast) not that
much rain. The heaviest rain fell during daylight hours this morning
(and the wind died down) and is still continuing but a strange,
bizarre lightening of the sky is advancing from the southeast ;-)

With luck we'll have a solid 5 hours of dry bright weather between
about 1500 BST and sunset, and while early May doesn't look that
great, with a bit of luck it'll at least be a bit closer to the norm
for the time of year, something that the Met Office outlook indicates
if you read between the lines.
