LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----MON 18th to THURS.21st JUNE
While still remaining rather unsettled, there should be some evidence of the sun in the next day or two, with steadily rising temperatures from 14 on Mon. to 17 or 18 on Wed.
There is a high risk of some showers on both Mon. & Tues. but less so on Wed. which may be the best day of the bunch, as a new low brings more cloud & some rain on Thursday. Winds will be mostly light, force 2 or 3, but a bit fresher on Thurs.   There is still no promise of a dry, sunny,  warm spell lined up.
