LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK

THURSDAY---   Rather cloudy, but perhaps rather brighter than of late. It should remain dry, though frost is expected early & late. Remaining cold with limited thawing.


FRIDAY---Something of a weather battle lining up, as less cold Atlantic air attempts to make inroads from the west. The cold air over the country will try to hold on & the result may be more snow in our area.  WATCH THIS SPACE for a firming-up on detail.
