LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK FOR THE WEEK AHEAD

Little, if any, rain is expected. Tuesday & Wednesday are likely to see more cloud than today, as weak fronts to the west have some influence on our area. It will, however, remain rather warm, with moderate winds from a W. quarter. Towards the latter part of the week, the high pressure may build further northwards, giving a boost to both sunshine amounts & temperature.
