LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK

SUNDAY---Rather cloudy, with showers at times, punctuated by the odd sunny interval. It will feel cool at around 14, as the low pressure, then to the east,  leaves a fresh NW breeze.

MONDAY---A better day (now the weekend's over), with broken cloud & some sunshine & only a low risk of a shower. Still a breeze from the NW, but temperatures could make 16 with the extra sunshine.
