LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----THURS. 19th to SUN. 22nd
A low pressure system over S.Scotland will later move away towards Scandinavia.Pressure will then build over the S. of England, but a deep Atlantic low aiming for Iceland, is likely to keep changeable conditions over Scotland.. So it's sunny intervals & the odd shower during Thursday to Saturday, with perhaps a spell of more general rain for Saturday night & part of Sunday. It will be cool throughout the period, with winds mainly from a W. quarter.
