LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK---SUNDAY to WEDNESDAY
High pressure over S.E. England will move away, leaving the whole of Britain under the influence of low pressure over Iceland & fronts in its circulation.  Things are set to deteriorate from Sunday afternoon, when morning sunshine will give way to more cloudy skies with some rain. Next week will see lower temperatures & changeable conditions, with winds from the W or SW. Tuesday may escape with just the odd shower, but Monday & Wednesday will be more cloudy with rain or showers at times & with a feel of Autumn in the air.
