LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----SATURDAY to TUESDAY
Relatively high pressure with light winds will dominate the weather from now until Sunday. Thereafter, we are in the hands of a vigorous depression located over the S. North Sea. Saturday & Sunday should be dry with some sunshine. Monday & Tuesday see winds backing into the E. or NE with more cloud around & some showery rain around.  Throughout the period, highest temperatures should range between 11 & 13, though nights should be less chilly than of late, owing to cloud & wind.
