LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK

MONDAY----Perhaps an overhang of the overnight rain for a time to start the day. Then, as winds change from SE to W, it should turn drier but rather colder, with brighter skies & the odd shower.  The year should end with some clear spells, but with temperatures falling towards frost levels

TUESDAY----A cold start, but generally a dry, bright day with some sunny spells. Just the chance of the odd shower, which could be wintry. Temperatures only around 4 as a maximum, so feeling cold (unless you're dancing vigorously)
