LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----WED.23rd to SAT.26th
A ridge of high pressure from the north, is developing into a large high, which will be centred over Scandinavia, keeping the weather dry & settled. Winds will remain from between E & SE, only around force 3 for a day or two, but up to force 4 or 5 by Fri. & Sat.
Deciding cloud amounts, is the greatest problem in the forecasting, but at present it looks as though we may experience some low cloud off the North Sea overnight & in the early mornings mid-week, with only patches of high-level cloud at other times. Max. temps will be in a range 19 to 21, with minima 9 to 12.
