LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK---SUNDAY to WEDNESDAY
Although pressure is now building across Britain, there are weak fronts within the high pressure circulation. This suggests a period of quiet weather, with light winds, though generally large amounts of cloud, but giving very little in the way of rain. There should be a little sunshine on occasions. Temperatures by day will reach close to 11 degrees & nights should hold a few degrees above frost levels.
