LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK
MONDAY may start with misty, low cloud, but this should lift & break to give a dry & pleasantly warm day for the most part, with spells of sunshine. Clouds may build up enough later for a few heavy showers to develop.
TUESDAY should be dry, with sunny spells, after the clearance of any early low cloud.
