LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK---SUNDAY to WEDNESDAY
Pressure remains low to the north, with high pressure well to the SW. This leaves us in an airstream from a W. quarter. Sunday is expected to have a rather cloudy morning, perhaps with small amounts of rain. The rest of the day should be dry & brighter. Monday promises to be rather showery, though with some brighter intervals. There should be a good deal of dry weather, with no more than possible isolated showers on Tuesday & Wednesday. Much of the period will see moderate to fresh breezes. Mon. to Wed. will see below average daytime temperatures, with rather chilly nights.
