LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----SATURDAY to TUESDAY
Low pressure to the SW of Ireland, will move erratically & slowly towards Scandinavia by the end of the period. This will leave us in a basically showery situation, with light winds & some dry spells with sunny intervals, between the more cloudy & showery areas.  Sunday may see the most frequent & heaviest showers. By the start of next week, winds may be more in the E. or NE & it will feel a little cooler.
