LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK---TUESDAY to FRIDAY
A rather unsettled week ahead, with low pressure centres moving near to or across Britain.
TUESDAY is problematic, as our area will be close to the northern limit of a rain area. It is likely to be cloudy for a time, with perhaps a little rain, though as the day goes on, it should become dry & brighter. It will feel cold with, with a breeze from the NW.
WED/THURS/FRI ---are likely to be rather unsettled, though Wednesday may start dry.
Otherwise, skies will often be cloudy, with rain never too far away. Winds will tend to settle into an E.quarter, keeping temperatures rather on the cold side. Friday may well be the wettest day. Nights should generally become frost-free, as cloudy skies & fresher winds dominate.
