LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----FRIDAY to MONDAY
Over the period, pressure will be low near Iceland & high in Mid-Atlantic. This will allow mainly weak fronts to move across our area from a W. quarter. Each day will be rather breezy (force 4 to 5 from between SW & NW), with some sunny intervals, but also some showers. There are likely to be 2 or 3 longer spells of rain, especially overnight, though rainfall totals are expected to be fairly small. Daytime temperatures will be in a range 11 to 14, with no air frosts expected.
