I'd be surprised if they did, because IIRC Craven sometimes referred to going to the weather centre "in London" for the forecast. The Radio Times said that last week there was the Weather For The Week Ahead during Country Tracks, but this week it was during the Politics Show (there was no Country Tracks because of the Grand Prix). They seem to be trying to keep the weather as close to 12:00 as possible - because there's no proper lunchtime news other than the midday headlines - and because of the structure of the Politics Show it works better to have it as a regional forecast on these occasions.
Having said that, I don't watch the Politics Show every week, so I don't know whether or not the regions are now doing their own forecasts regardless of what week it is.
But CountryFile never had a regional forecast? Or did some regions opt out of the national Weather for the Week Ahead and do their own?
