LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----WEDNESDAY to SATURDAY
Pressure starts low between Iceland & Norway, with high pressure over the Atlantic, W. of the Iberian Peninsular (nothing new about that). However, by Saturday, high pressure should be right over Britain, so generally some settling down of the weather.
Still the chance of a shower or two on WEDNESDAY, especially in the afternoon. Both THURSDAY & FRIDAY should see a mix of some sunshine but also the odd shower
But by SATURDAY, the shower risk should have gone, leaving a day of broken cloud & sunny spells.
Throughout, winds should be in a W.quarter, with daytime temps. up to 11 or 12, with cool, though not frosty nights, though the chance of at least a ground frost, increases from Saturday night.
