LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----SUNDAY to WEDNESDAY
Pressure is currently high over Britain, but this is, unfortunately, only temporary, as a deep depression moves from Biscay, up the Channel & into the North Sea by the start of next week. This system, incidentally, is a former tropical storm & will deliver quite a "punch" to many areas, but less so to Northern & Western Scotland.  So, briefly in summary:--
SUNDAY--Dry, some sunshine, though rather more cloud by the end of the day
MONDAY/TUESDAY--Windy from the E or NE,up to force 4 to 6. Cloudy with spells of rain (the worst of this in Southern & Eastern areas--possibly the North & West escaping the worst of the rain.
WEDNESDAY---Some improvement, with dry spells & sunny intervals.
It will be cool throughout (daytime range 10 to 13), but not as cold by night from Sunday night onwards.
