Much, if not all of today, should be dry, with only a low risk of a shower. There should be some good spells of sunshine, especially am. There may be rather more cloud around later on. Just a light to moderate breeze from the NW, with temperatures around 10, so feeling cool in the wind & out of the sun.

LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK
SUNDAY is expected to see less sunshine than Saturday, with a greater risk of a shower. It will also be breezier, with fresh W winds. Feeling cool in the wind & out of the sun. The NEW WEEK should get off to a reasonable start, with a couple of mainly dry, bright days, with only a few showers around,  though a fresh WNW wind.  Again the story is one of strong sunshine, but chilly breezes---nice behind glass!
