LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----THURSDAY 5th to SUNDAY 8th JULY.
Low pressure will dominate Britain's weather throughout this period, ultimately drifting into Scandinavia. Thursday, though rather cloudy, may turn out to be the driest day of the period, with warnings of heavy rain posted by the Met Office for Friday & Saturday, as some slow moving heavy showers pose a threat to the area. Daytime temperatures will be lower by the weekend, as winds back into the N.E.  Cloudy skies are likely to be the "norm"with sunshine of any length, at a premium.
