LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----FRIDAY to MONDAY
Low pressure to the west of Ireland, will move slowly over Britain to be over Scandinavia by Monday. The resulting weather will be one of sunny intervals & showers, with SE winds at first becoming N later. Daytime temperatures should begin close to normal, but dropping back a little as winds turn into the N.  Most of the showers are likely to occur during the afternoon & early evening periods, with a few being heavy & thundery. Some spots may largely miss the worst of the showers, a few may receive a large rainfall total in a short period.  SO---VERY MUCH A MIXED WEEKEND, WITH SOME DRY SPELLS WITH PLEASANT SUNSHINE, BUT TAKE A BROLLY-- JUST IN CASE!!
