LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK---TUESDAY to FRIDAY
Pressure is low to the N. & N.E. of Britain, while high pressure attempts to nose- in from the S.W.  Scotland will remain in a mostly W. to N. W. airstream, with fronts affecting us from time to time.  The weather during this period will be decidedly autumnal, with winds mostly force 3 to 4, daytime temperatures peaking at 11 to 13 & with chilly nights (the odd ground frost is on the cards). There should be a fair amount of dry weather, with broken cloud & spells of sunshine, though showers are always a possibility. There is currently a question mark over Thursday, with a rain area passing a little way to the south of our area, though needs watching!
