LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK

THE WEEKEND is likely to be something of a "dog's dinner", with cloudy spells at times, with some mainly light & patchy rain, temperatures a little below normal. There should also be some dry spells with sunny intervals. It will be rather breezy from the W or SW between force 3 & 5.  In short, nothing special, but could be worse!
