It is Friday, and not any old Friday, but a bank holiday weekend Friday.

Tuesday morning seems a world away but what will the weather be like and will you be spending your journey home behind a caravan heading to the coast?

Tempratures will remain in the 70s throughout the weekend but tomorrow and Sunday will see rain. Monday, however, will be perfect for a barbecue.

Train services in the region are running smoothly as is the Midlands Metro.

However, if you need to use the motorway network to get home or get away then beware.

There are delays on the M42 southbound after earlier accident between J2 Alvechurch and J1 Bromsgrove.

An accident on the M6 northbound caused long tailbacks earlier this afternoon but the vehicle has been now removed between J6 Birmingham and J7 Great Barr.

There have been delays throughout the afternoon in Blackheath on A4099 Archer Way through roadworks at A4034 Long Lane.

Prepare for delays in Hopwood on A441 Birmingham Road through roadworks between Lea End Lane and Longbridge Lane.

Update: 7pm - There are tailbacks in Kidderminster on A449 Chester Road North heading towards A456 Birmingham Road.

There is a snarl up on M6 northbound after earlier breakdown between J10 and J10a M54.

An accident in Oldbury on A4123 Wolverhampton Road is partially blocking Birchley Island, which is bad enough on a normal Friday afternoon so keep away if you can.

There has been a crash on the M5 northbound blocking one lane between J5 Droitwich and J4a M42, expect delays.
