WEDNESDAY---Some occasional rain or showers, though with some dry periods too
THURSDAY---Generally cloudy, though with some dry periods, as well as a few showers.
OVERALL---Day time temperatures in a range 6 to 8, so rather cold.  Ground frosts are likely on some nights, but little chance of air frosts. Gales or snowfall not expected.
