LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----SAT.21st to TUES. 24th JULY
Pressure will become low over Iceland, but build to the S & S.E., keeping winds in a S.W. direction. It looks as if most of the time in the next 4 days will be dry, with the possible exception of parts of Sunday, when fronts will bring rain into Western Scotland & Pitlochry just getting the "left-overs"--rather cloudy, with patchy light rain.. Other than this, there should be some broken cloud with spells of sunshine & daytime temperatures close to normal, around 17 to 19. S.W. winds will be moderate to fresh.
