LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK

There should be a good deal of dry weather over the weekend, with nothing worse than an odd shower. Cloud amounts will often be significant, though still allowing some intervals of sunshine. Winds will mainly blow from a W quarter around force 3 to 4. It will be rather cool for June, probably around 14 or 15 (rather than 16 or 17).
