There may be a spell of rain late on Wednesday night & perhaps into Thursday morning, but much of the day should be dry.  Friday & Saturday should be dry with broken cloud & spells of sunshine. Most of the period will again see winds from a W. quarter, mostly around force 3 or 4.  Daytime temperatures will be a little below normal in the 11 to 13 range, while overnight temperatures will be well down in single figures, with perhaps some ground frost.
