The weekend is upon us!

Here's your final update for this working week.

Weather

The rain comes in today with showers expected for most of the day. The morning should remain just a bit cloudy but by the afternoon there willbe thunder and lightning accompanying the rain.

Highs of 16C.

Tube and train

There is a good service on all London Underground, London Midland, East Midlands, and Thameslink and Network Rail lines running in southwest Herts and north London.

Traffic

A lane of the A406 is closed due to a burst water main in Southgate, by Pinkham  Way, which is causing a long tailback heading westbound.

There are queues on the A1 Barnet Bypass heading southbound towards Stirling Corner, and further queues on the M1 Watford Way southbound in Edgware.

In Kings Langley the A41 has some delays heading southbound, as does the A4251, and on the M25 anticlockwise between junction 20 for the A4251 and junction 18 for the A404 Rickmansworth Road.

The  North Orbital road southbound through Bricket Wood is also queuing, as is the same road up by London Colney.
